Donna has been a Certified CrainoSacral Therapist for the past 5 years. She began her CrainoSacral journey 7 years ago, at this office when Dr. Gary Thomson referred her to a CranioSacral Therapist.

After that one hour session she realized 2 things:
1. this was an amazing experience
2. she could do this!

Her passion is to provide a safe place where others can access their own personal resources to relieve their pain.

The Obstetric course in September of 2008 increased her interest in helping woman in their birthing experience. She now is a 'member in training' with DONA (Doula Association of North America) and CDA (Calgary Doula Association).
