Welcome to The Lounge Philosopher — a quiet corner of the internet where skincare meets soul care, turning words into a lasting story, and where healing is both an art and a conversation.

I’m Susan Lückhoff (you can call me Suz), a qualified CIDESCO Skincare Therapist, A+ Certificate in Beginners for Drama (Brümilda van Rensburg Acting Academy – South Africa), Certified TEFL/TESOL educator (150 Hour Advanced Certificate, TEFL Universal – Cert. No. 51432), and Practical Ministry graduate (Cum Laude). I’m currently completing my certification as a HeartMath® counsellor — because the heart, too, deserves a language of its own.

A lifelong singer, occasional public speaker, reader, writer, and deep thinker, I’m passionate about helping others rediscover their voice, care for their body, and reconnect with their purpose — one gentle, meaningful step at a time. Whether I’m telling stories, teaching English, sharing skincare rituals, or recording voice work, everything I do flows from a love for truth, beauty, and healing.

You could call me a Jill-of-all-trades — but really, everything I’ve done has led me here. Nothing in my life has been wasted; every step has shaped what I can now share with others.

Pull up a chair. Let’s talk life.
