"I was very poorly with post viral syndrome (ME symptoms) when I had my first reiki session with Donna, and it marked a real turning point in my healing. I felt stronger after every session as my body found the energy to heal itself, and with reiki and the right nutrition I am now back to work. Something that was unimaginable just this summer! I can't thank Donna enough for giving me my life back" M.S.
"I had the privilege of working with Donna daily for nearly 5 weeks. Having suffered with a chronic condition all my life and seen numerous therapists Donna's approach was incredible. She is intuitive, aware and very personable. I would recommend her to anyone." D.B.

"Donna has been providing me with reflexology for several years, and it’s no exaggeration to say that she’s changed my life. I couldn't do without her treatments. I have suffered with numerous debilitating symptoms caused by my menstrual cycle throughout my adult life, which were exacerbated by perimenopause. Donna’s patient, attentive and highly personal reflexology treatments have reduced the symptoms dramatically and seeing her regularly means I can enjoy life" E.D.
