Author Information

"Susan McIntire is a celebrated author and speaker. She was initially recognized in her high school years by receiving the Scholastic Journalist Award from the ANPA (American Newspaper Publishers Association Foundation, now News Media Alliance) and Florida's pioneering daily, the ""Evening Independent."" An alumna of the University of South Carolina's College of Journalism and Honors College, her academic pursuits were supported by the prestigious J. Rion McKissick journalism scholarship. With over 40 years of dedicated research, Susan's profound personal journey into sensory fitness began with an unexpected challenge-a two-year loss of much of her taste due to a routine medical procedure-which sparked a deep interest in sensory perception and its profound impact on life. This personal experience, coupled with her role as a mother to a child on the autism spectrum, has deeply informed her approach to writing and advocacy in sensory well-being. These experiences have equipped Susan with unique insights into the often-overlooked yet vital aspects of sensory interaction. ""Your Sensory Fitness"" is not just another book on sensory well-being. It's Susan's guided approach to exploring themed sensory invitations using nature. This unique blend of original poetry, art, reflections, guided indoor and outdoor walks, science, and nature guides readers through practical and intriguing sensory adventures. Built on a lifetime of work, it's designed to be both informative and transformative, offering readers a companion for a mindful awakening of their senses. At home in Hawaii, Susan shares her life with her family and a menagerie of beloved animals, including a bird, two cats, and a dog. Overcoming a childhood allergy to pets, which once prevented her from even visiting pet stores or fairs, she now cherishes the joy and sensory richness they bring. Her pets offer a daily exploration of non-verbal communication and deepen her appreciation of the sensory bonds we share. Currently focused on sharing her groundbreaking work, Susan invites readers to discover how sensory awareness can transform everyday experiences into extraordinary ones. Her book promises to be a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their sensory perceptions and find balance in our technology-driven days."
