"At first I was so unfamiliar with safe, self-chosen touch that my body's response was to separate me from the experience. Intentional Touch™ has helped me reclaim myself. With consistent sessions, I can now feel nurtured from being touched. This has impacted my life significantly. I now have a healthy relationship, a more satisfying work life and more confidence to connect in meaningful ways to others."

"I spent years in chronic physical pain, severely limited in what I could do. My mind was often in chaos and I felt unsettled. With Intentional Touch™, I am experiencing enhanced mental clarity and emotional peace. I can work on my computer, do yard work, and hike. After years of physical and mental limitations, I can use my body and mind freely again."

"Thirteen years ago I was experiencing chronic lower back pain, knee problems and other symptoms of stress. Through these years working with Donna, we have addressed these issues of physical health successfully. I find her body of work profoundly helpful for developing personal creativity, releasing stress, and creating personal comfort. I hold Donna's work responsible for my high level of health and productivity."

JL
Dancer & Yoga Teacher

"Receiving Intentional Touch™ helped me move through the anger, sadness and grief I experienced following a sexual trauma, as well as major life changes which occured in the months following the event. I came to understand what was happening on an energetic level so that when I experienced any discomfort outside of our sessions (physical, emotional or spiritual) I was empowered and able to cope in ways that supported my immediate needs and long-term well-being."
