"Energy Medicine brings you vitality when you are drained, health when you are ill, and joy when you are down."

Energy Medicine utilizes techniques from time-honored traditions such as acupuncture, yoga, kinesiology, and qi gong, as well as techniques developed by Donna based on her ability to see subtle energy.

Flow, balance, and harmony can be non-invasively restored and maintained within an energy system by:

• Tapping, pinching, twisting, or connecting specific energy points (acupoints) on the skin
• Tracing or swirling the hand over the skin along specific energy pathways
• Doing exercises or postures designed for specific energetic effects 
• Focusing the mind to move specific energies 
• Surrounding an area with healing energies

Energy Medicine recognizes energy as a vital, living, moving force that determines much about health and happiness.

To maintain vibrant health, the body needs its energies to:

• Move and have space to continue to move—energies may become blocked due to toxins, muscular or other constriction, prolonged stress, or interference from other energies.
• Move in specific patterns—generally in harmony with the physical structures and functions that the energies animate and support. "Flow follows function."
• Cross over—at all levels, from the micro-level of the double helix of DNA, extending to the macro-level where the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right side controls the left.
• Maintain a balance with other energies—the energies may lose their natural balance due to prolonged stress or other conditions that keep specific energy systems in a survival mode.

Conversely, when the body is not healthy, corresponding disturbances in its energies can be identified and treated.

Entering the world of your body's subtle energies is a bridge into the domain of your deepest spiritual callings and your eternal essence. While no particular belief system, allegiance, or religious affiliation is associated with Energy Medicine, many people find that energy work touches into the realms of soul and spirit.
