Usui Reiki and Shamballa Master/Teacher, Crystal Healing, Animal Reiki Practitioner

Donna  is passionate about Reiki.  As a young girl growing up on a farm,  surrounded by animals, she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian.  She  realized how a single touch could bring relief and relaxation to  animals.  While working as a veterinarian technician, and spending 20  years as a 4-H Horse Leader, she enjoyed sharing that passion with all  creatures great and small.  While studying Mediumship with Rita  Berkowitz, The Spirit Artist, she discovered how that same healing touch  affected humans as well.  Over the years, she has found that a relaxed  body will heal faster and easier than a tense and stressed body, and  Reiki is a wonderful way to create relaxation and healing for the Mind,  Body, Spirit connection. Donna is a certified Usui Reiki and Shamballa  Master/Teacher, Ear Coning/Candling Practitioner and Crystal Healer, and  teaches other Practitioners in her Reiki for Animals class, as all  creatures benefit from the gift of Reiki as well as their humans.
