Donna, I?ve looked at the ?Clients Input? form at least 4 times this past few weeks. Hmmm . . like homework, I kept finding reasons to avoid it. I?m a writer, a wordsmith. But how can you put into words that; behind a door, on the third floor, is a self-recovered, beautiful, funny and very smart Woman who has the skills and can help you reclaim your life? This is as close as I can get . . . What I liked most was the sincere, direct attitude you, Donna, possess and exhibited in all aspects of our work together. I never felt my time, efforts or money were squandered. I arrived at your office in great emotional pain and despair. Me, the chronic rescuer, problem solver and sounding board for many others. I was deeply embarrassed and hiding out in my unattended, overweight body. I not only avoided any situation that might have me connect with someone who knew ME when I was at a healthy weight (over a decade ago) but choose to give the control or responsibility away to excuses of thyroid dis-ease and aging. I would make the analogy that I saw myself as if in a steam fogged bathroom mirror and that was as much of ME as I wanted to face. Only three months and almost 25 pounds lighter, I?m visible, present and able to continue my journey of personal acceptance, joy and life changes (letting go of more pounds healthfully, exercising and conscious eating). Did I have most of the knowledge within me to accomplish this? Yes. Could I have done it alone? No. Explaining this can?t..

Hi Donna, The ride went great last night. I fought all the negative thoughts and excuses that kept trying to get in my way and just enjoyed the trip around my little town on a wonderful summer night. I?m excited to get better and better and more relaxed. I feel like I?ve broken the crusty old mummy shell that was sucking the life out of me. I?ve broken out of it, shook off the dust and am eager to take in all the nourishing experiences in life. I?ll practice practice, practice my positive thinking. I used to freeze up on blind corners because I couldn?t see what was around the bend??.therefore it had to be bad, something bad must be there, I don?t know because I can?t see it but I?m sure it not good?..How sad is that? There is no point to that kind of thinking, and it?s so sad that I was that focused on it. I?ll always be cautious and prepared for surprises but now I know what?s around the corner?.I?ve decided it?s little tiny puffs of gold ?fairy dust? in the sunshine (nothing to be afraid of) and more road to travel so let?s get to it! Let?s breathe in the air and enjoy the smells and see the things there are to see. Trust myself completely. Thrilling doesn?t mean dangerous. It means I?m alive, all of my senses are awake, my heart rate is elevated not because I?m being reckless I may only be going 30 mph but there?s a lot going on, I?m reading the road, watching the bike in front of me, looking out for cars or animal. I?m living life and making memories. Thank you ..

9/26/06 Dear Donna, My daughter had struggled for the last six years with various fears primarily with doing backwards things in the sport of gymnastics which was the result of a fall she had sustained on the uneven bars. She had been able to advance levels through creative coaching, some trauma counseling and very supportive parents and coaches. Finally she reached the point that she did not have vault that was adequate for her level. After trying everything short of quitting the sport she loves so much her coach suggested hypnotherapy. I did some research and found you. There was instantly a connection and the fact that you take your time getting to know your patients as people is wonderful. Your thoroughness in understanding especially fear root issues is what makes you successful. There was such a good connection between you and my daughter and she really enjoyed the session. My daughter competed at the Oregon State Championships and performed a Tsukahara vault without a spot which she had been unable to do before. She qualified for the Regional Championships and went on to perform that vault again without a spot. Our plan is to have another visit just before competition season starts again to prep her and get her in fear free mode. Thank you for everything. S.A. Keizer, OR..

Hi Donna, Just wanted to bring you an update. I don't know if you remember but I told you that my husband and I were playing in a 4th of July golf tournament on Tuesday and guess what. I told my hubby no negative thoughts or words today (I listened to the cd that morning) and I was totally relaxed and we won low gross over the whole Field. Wow, people are still congratulating us. It was awesome. I've been listening to the cd twice a day until I totally get it. I wish I had a cd of the visit because I'm afraid I'll forget all you said but oh well. I really was a bit skeptical when I left the office but now I've changed my mind. Thanks a bunch, T. S. Salem OR..
