Biography

Donna’s experience ranges from acute care to rehabilitation. Donna has been using pilates equipment to re-establish inner core stability and postural alignment for over 20 years. Donna developed an interest in the influence of emotions on physical dysfunction and learned about how the physical body can “trap” the energy of emotions. Donna now uses an integrated approach (manual therapy, applied kinesiology, neuro kinetic therapy, neuro emotional therapy, Pilates-based rehab exercises, cranial sacral therapy, somatic-emotional releasing, emotion code, and psychoeducation) to restore function and foster pain relief for her clients.

Pilates – based rehab exercises focus on stabilizing the trunk, shoulders, and pelvis which includes the hip joints. Pilates rehab exercises help to improve one’s posture, align the spine, and activate the inner core system. The inner core system starts at your feet. Activation of the muscles in your feet help to support the arches in your feet. This is particularly helpful for anyone with fallen arches, or feet that pronate. Pilates rehab exercises are very helpful for pre and post natal women by facilitating stability and mobility in the low back, thus resolving low back pain during pregnancy. Pre- natal pilates helps with post natal recovery.

Neuro Kinetic Therapy uses muscle testing (applied kinesiology) of individual muscles to determine whether the muscle has become inhibited (the muscle no longer is doing its job) or an area of the body has been overworking, creating increased tension and pain. The result is muscle imbalances and abnormal movement patterns.

Neuro Emotional Therapy uses muscle testing (applied kinesiology) to determine if there is an emotional component to the muscle imbalances/ pain/ abnormal movement patterns.Cranial Sacral therapy uses light touch to balance the nervous system and facilitate unwinding of fascial tissue. Emotions are “trapped” in the fascia, once identified the energy of the emotionscan be released from the body using somatic emotional releasing and /or using emotion code.

Donna’s philosophy is that wellness can be achieved by bringing the physical, mental and emotional bodies into balance with each other.
