ABOUT

portrait of a smiling women

 

Grace S. Suh is a writer, trauma-informed practitioner, and founder of Root to Relief™, a therapeutic framework that integrates Eastern medicine, nervous-system repair, and purpose-based healing. For over twenty years, she has helped patients unravel chronic symptoms shaped by trauma, cultural displacement, and long-standing survival patterns.

 

Born in Seoul and raised in Los Angeles, Grace immigrated to the United States at six and a half years old—an experience that profoundly shaped her understanding of identity, silence, and the body’s adaptive intelligence. Her work draws on her training in Eastern medicine, hypnotherapy, neuroemotional repair, and polyvagal-informed practice, as well as her lived experience navigating chronic illness, masking, late-identified autism, and intergenerational trauma.

 

Grace’s forthcoming memoir, THE DRAGON AND THE DOG, explores what happens when a woman who learned to disappear finally refuses to stay hidden. Woven across continents and three generations of Korean women, the book traces her journey from disappearance to reclamation—and the dog who became her first sense of home.

 

Her clinical and narrative work share a single mission: helping people return to the truth of who they are, rebuild safety inside their bodies, and live from purpose rather than survival.

 

Grace lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Señorita—her greatest teacher in presence, devotion, and belonging.
