About Andrew Suseno

Andrew Suseno is the founder of Moving Rasa, an embodied, relational practice rooted in movement, culture, and lived experience. His work brings together physical therapy, improvisational movement, martial arts, and community-based healing to support people in exploring awareness, relationship, belonging, and new ways of being together.

Andrew Suseno’s path into this work began through movement, but it did not stay there. Over time, movement became a way of noticing how people relate to gravity, space, one another, and the conditions around them — and also how trust, belonging, exclusion, and survival live in the body. As an Indonesian-Chinese American, Andrew’s relationship to movement was shaped not only by curiosity and expression, but also by questions of cultural identity, adaptation, and what it means to feel fully present in oneself and with others.

His background includes years of martial arts training, improvisational dance, and performance, alongside professional work as a Doctor of Physical Therapy in orthopedics, neurology, and pediatrics. These experiences helped him develop an approach that is attentive not only to movement skill, but to how people organize themselves through sensation, history, environment, and relationship. As a survivor, Andrew’s practice is also shaped by lived experience of harm, resilience, and the need for spaces where people can explore with greater care, consent, and honesty.

These threads eventually came together in Moving Rasa. What began as a search for more possibility through movement grew into a deeper commitment to creating spaces where people can reconnect to their bodies, their relationships, their culture, and their own inner sense of what matters. Today, Andrew’s work is grounded in rasa — feeling, inner sense, taste, and essence — and continues to support individuals and communities through workshops, coaching, partnerships, and the Discovery Cards.

Andrew’s practice is informed by physical therapy, somatics, martial arts, improvisation, and performance, as well as by Indonesian philosophy and community-based healing. Across these influences, he is interested in how people develop awareness, consent, responsiveness, and more meaningful ways of relating to themselves and others.
