"Donna works deeply, lovingly and precisely with spirit, mind, emotions and body, as both a healing practitioner and a teacher. As a healer, she works deftly and profoundly with both subtle and dense levels of experience. She is also a gifted, generous teacher of these skills, able to convey both mystery and practicality with directness, warmth and humor. I consider her a master healer, one who continually masters the illusions of duality to bring herself and others to new levels of awareness --- awareness of our innate health, wholeness and holiness. I know I am fortunate to work with her and learn from her, and bless her commitment to bringing us all fully into the light of our true nature."
Barbara Du Bois, Ph.D.   Arizona Educator, artist, writer, editor  



Donna's exceptional clairvoyant and diagnostic skills, articulate and responsive explanations, engaging personality and guidance produce a powerful, deep and satisfying healing experience.  I recommend her healing work to friends and colleagues around the country."

The words "healing," "health" and "holiness" are all rooted in the word "whole".  As a human being, your intrinsic wholeness and holiness express through your physical body, your mind, your emotions and your spiritual nature.  These aspects of your being are completely interconnected and interpenetrating.  Healing a physical illness, for example, always calls for emotional healing, always relates to your mental belief structures and patterns, and always has implications for your spiritual learning and transformation.  In the same way, imbalance, weakness or dis-ease in mind, emotions or spirit will always have impacts on your physical health and well-being.

True wholeness is achieved through cultivating an inner balance whereby these four interdependent dimensions of your existence--physical, emotional, mental and spiritual--are actively and consciously expressing harmoniously within you.  All these aspects of your being, working together, directly affect how you feel and the quality of life you enjoy.

Relying on one or more dimensions while ignoring or excluding the others will create internal imbalances and disharmonies that eventually will manifest in challenges and problems in your life.  It is through understanding, accepting and developing all the parts of us that we gain access to the whole of life and are able to express fully the truth of who we are.  In the work of healing,  each of these dimensions has its own specific purpose and needs, and each dimension or aspect offers a distinct doorway that gives access to the healing potential in all the others.  This will become clear as you reflect on the four aspects of the person and the four aspects of healing described below.

The four aspects: spiritual, mental, emotional, physical

Spiritual:  Your spiritual energy is real.  It refers to your soul--that timeless, unending, unlimited and wise part of you that is expressing in this life through your physical body.  It is not "out there" somewhere; it is within you.  Intimately connected to intuition and inner wisdom, to higher levels of consciousness, to your life purpose, to the spiritual gifts you hold, the lessons you are here to learn and the service you will do in the world, your soul's energy is the driving force in your life.  You were born to express the beauty of your soul through a physical body.

When you have a healthy relationship with your soul, you feel a deep sense of belonging, of being a part of something greater than yourself, connected to all life.  You feel a sense of purposefulness in your actions and experiences and use them as pathways to greater consciousness, love, healing, compassion and soulful growth and transformation.

Mental:  The mental dimension of your being includes your intellect, your words and the power of your mind.  This includes your inner and outer dialogue, thoughts, perceptions, attitudes and beliefs as well as the conscious and unconscious decisions you've made about yourself, others and the world around you.  This is a very powerful level of your life because it magnetizes to you the people and experiences that match how you think and what you believe.

Healthy mental energy gives you clarity, focus and inspiration.  With conscious use of this faculty, there is an awareness of the power of your thoughts and your internal dialogue is loving and conscious.  You consider the impact of your words on your own mind, emotions, body and spirit as well as on other beings, an you therefore use your words wisely and consciously.  You mean what you say and say what you mean.  You have integrity with your word.

Emotional:  Your emotions, your feelings, are an integral and meaningful part of you, intimately connecting you to your life.  Everything that happens in your day-to-day experience registers on this level--whether you feel it or not.  Emotions are a significant and purposeful aspect of your health and well-being.  Consciously experiencing the full range of your emotions will provide important information that will guide you to greater, healing, health, happiness and emotional vitality.

When your emotional nature is healthy you naturally, spontaneously and immediately feel your life as it is happening.  The feelings you experience through love, relationships, fun, success, etc. feel good and are enjoyed.  The more difficult feelings that arise during the challenges and stressed of your life serve as catalysts to help you emotionally process and understand the meaning of what you are going through.  As you feel what is happening to you, you are able to let go of the experiences and resolve the feelings completely, neither being controlled by emotions from your past, confused or overwhelmed by feelings in the present, or carrying them into your future as unfinished business that will have the potential to negatively affect your health and well-being.

Physical:  Your physical level of life includes your physical body and all aspects of the material world.  Your body directly reflects your individual consciousness and the levels of physical health you enjoy reflect the health of your mind, emotions and spirit.  Life is created through your thoughts and attitudes, felt and processed through your emotions, experienced through your soul and becomes manifest through your physical body and experience.   The earth is also a manifestation of the physical level of existence and directly reflects the global collective consciousness.

When you are physically healthy, you have a vibrant, energetic body, you enjoy prosperity and abundance and you are able to accomplish your physical goals in the world.  You lovingly take care of your body, providing it with healthy food, good nutrition, clean air, restful sleep, recreation and exercise.
