Donna and Laurel at Basic Grid training, San Diego, 2019

Donna is the person who began it all.

Born in the USA in the 1940’s, she developed significant health challenges including severe allergies and multiple sclerosis, and was told in her early thirties - by several doctors - that she would not live much longer.

Fortunately, she had a rare ability to perceive or see the flows of energies, and she went to work on herself, hooking up the energies where they were disconnected.

Through this process she studied Chinese Medicine, Touch for Health and other modalities, and developed or adapted a set of exercises that anyone can use to restore or enhance their physical and emotional health and well-being.

She healed herself and then began to heal others. In 1999 she published her first book, Energy Medicine, with her husband David Feinstein.

Soon after, her certification program was established. I enrolled in 2012 at the end of 15 years of depression and anxiety. Although I had significant mental health training and had worked for several years as a counselor, it was only through learning and practicing energy medicine that I was able to become mentally well without medication. I am so incredibly grateful to her and her work.

I have been fortunate to have attended classes taught by Donna herself. In person, she is even more radiant than how she appears when she is presenting. Her loving and sometimes larger than life demeanor tends to obfuscate her brilliance and intellectual acuity, which reveals itself in conversation. As she is now in her eighties, she is gradually passing the education torch to her advanced students and faculty members.
