Testimonials
"By applying
body awareness techniques, I have experienced a significant
reduction in pain and notable improvements in alignment and
posture. I have several different orthopedic problems and
body awareness has helped me with each of them. So far, I
have been able to avoid knee surgery. I no longer have
neck or shoulder pain and I have also been able to correct
some problems in my feet. Donna is extremely insightful,
and has helped me achieve a greater degree of wellness.
She developed an individualized plan for me and gave me the
tools I needed to work on these conditions."

"I have been in Donna's Body Awareness program for 3 weeks now
and I can already clearly feel a difference. I used to come home
every night from work with shoulder pain. I asked my doctor what
I could do to stop this pain and her answer was to take Tylenol.
After the first class with Donna I could already feel the
difference in my shoulders. I had so much tension and tightness
in my shoulders and I didn't even know it. After only 2 classes
I started to notice when I went home from work I didn't feel the
pain any more. I also feel I have more energy than I had just
weeks before. I was able to take the lessons I learned from
these classes and use them in other work outs as well. Donna is
always smiling and watching each of us to make sure we are doing
the moves correctly and without pain. The classes are gentle and
so beneficial. I can't think of any one who wouldn't benefit
from Body Awareness. Thank you!" --- Rachel, age

“I recently
underwent a highly invasive surgery known as spinal fusion surgery,
for scoliosis. I felt an improvement, and was satisfied with the
results of the operation, but through a family members
recommendation, I began Private Sessions in Body Awareness. After a
month of classes, I was feeling more relaxed in every day activities
and I was able to identify and eventually eliminate sources of
tension and distress that were negatively affecting the outcome of
everything I did. Donna's instruction uses elements from several
disciplines. She is able to choose exactly the right kind of
technique for each situation. Possibly her greatest strength is her
ability to understand her students. I am consistently surprised by
her ability to answer a question before I am able to articulate
it...or sometimes even before I knew I had one. She is a truly
gifted teacher and healer.”

"I was lucky to see your first flyer
in the waiting room at Cloud Nine. At the time, my daughter
was about one and I had been trying to get motivate to repair my
body from birth. So I signed up and within a few weeks me and
my husband noticed a dramatic improvement in my everyday aches and
pains...they were gone. Donna's program is all about balance
and every class is different because she mixes Yoga, Tai Chi,
Pilates and meditation. She teaches her students how to relax,
learn from your body and to celebrate yourself!"

"Body
Awareness helped get my mind--and body--in shape.
I look forward to going to the classes to relax and re-focus my
attention on myself and the way I look at things. It's one of the
best classes I've taken in a long time!"

"I definitely have a greater awareness of my body. I find myself
adjusting the way I'm sitting, carrying my shoulders, etc.
I've also realized that I am stronger that I think I am. Using
movement to stimulate thought was a new approach that was
surprisingly helpful."

"After just one class I am finding "Body Awareness" has awakened my
body so much that during the day, while driving or standing I am
drawn to remember it and straighten my posture and shift my
breather."
