Donna is a great listener. Her many skills and techniques helped me work through some of my issues and anxieties. She has many life experiences and through her life stories into we found a common ground with a comfortable trust and understanding. She has a calm and easy presence about her. She showed compassion and love for me that put me at ease. She is very good about leading me through my Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) sessions, and she has a spirit and awareness about her that resonated with me and my faith. I highly recommend Donna to work with you through your personal issues through EFT. If you have never had any coaching before, it is a game-changer to work with someone that can help you and give you another perspective.
