Since 1991 Donald has been studying physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Many times, physical tension in the muscular system will not respond to just a massage technique, and in those instances we need to look deeper to find any emotional or spiritual issues that are holding the tension.
Spiritual is not just about a relationship to God, it can be about how we view ourselves and the difference we are able to make with others in our work, relationships, and daily lives. This impacts our point of view. Frustrations between how we would like to be and how we are can manifest in our physical body in tension, stress, and sometimes pain and functional diseases.
Through many innovative techniques, Donald is able to assess and facilitate the release of these tensions and support vitality with physical and mental clarity.
