Testimonials

“I used to dread getting together for the holidays.  I flew in to see my family at the last minute and only stayed a couple of days. Today the thanksgiving table at my parents’ house has completely changed. We used to eat, compete, grumble and leave. Now, thanks to Donna we talk, laugh, and really enjoy each other.” Chris

“What has happened is a miracle. I have been with my husband nine years and we fought all the time. My parents didn’t like him. There was not enough peace between us to have children. I thought I was going to leave him. As a high-powered businessman he wouldn’t consider getting help, he didn’t feel like he needed any.

Then I started Intuitive Coaching with Donna. It was uncanny how she got inside his mind and helped me understand his motivations and how I was aggravating him. I began to understand what I was doing to ignite much of the conflict between us and most importantly, how to diffuse it.

I changed myself and he transformed into the most loving husband I could ask for. We never fight. My parents have grown to love him.

And the greatest miracle of all is that we are having our first baby.”

Blair

How do sessions work?

Sessions are usually 2-3 hour blocks of time, based on the needs of the family. They can be scheduled weekends or evenings.  Please call for a free consultation so we can establish your needs.

These sessions are designed to be safe, enriching, and educational to help you feel more connected with a deeper understanding of your family member.

“Clients are usually afraid of these sessions. But my experience is that you grow to look forward to them. By the end of the sessions families hug, cry and feel so much closer.”

Family Networks

Where do I begin? First, realize that I know you are probably scared. I came from a family too and I know the prospect of sitting down and talking about things that having never been discussed in years can be nerve-wracking and intimidating.

I take this into account; it helps that I come from Texas where we’re a friendly group of people who have easy conversation. I work to make everybody at ease. Time is spent getting to know each family member and then you will get a bit of education to understand how the session will proceed.

We begin gently by establishing what you would like to gain from the session and then help you talk to each other. I use my intuition to get inside the mind of whoever is speaking to help you read between the lines, gain deeper understandings, and express what is in your heart.

What if you could get inside your father’s mind and understand what makes him tick?

According the research the happiest people are not the richest. They are those who report the happiest relationships with their family members.

I have been working with families from all over the world for 25 years.  In fact some of my most fulfilling moments are seeing two family members who love each, would die for each other, but have had a cavern between them come to a place of understanding.

Questions and Answers

“What about me. I would like this coaching but don’t live in New York?” No worries, I do conference calls with family members from all over the world.  We can even do video conferencing.”

“You don’t understand. My father doesn’t talk. How are you going to get my father to talk?” I have never seen a father who doesn’t talk in 25 years of coaching. In fact, fathers often have the most regrets because they don’t know how to express what is in their heart. In more than one session I have seen tears well up in a 60-year-old father’s eyes as he finally says to his son, “I love you. I just haven’t known how to say it.”

“What happens in the session?” We sit in a circle. We talk casually for a while so I can get an idea of how your family talks with me and with each other. Then I will ask what you would like to get out of the session. Usually this becomes a list of topics you would like to cover. In the session we will go down the list. As we discuss each topic we will have a goal of helping you understand each other’s motivations, thinking, feelings and needs. I help you say the things that are tough to say in a gentle, understandable way. It’s a great feeling to have your father say, “Wow, I am sorry I didn’t realize at the time how much I was hurting you.”

 I also, help you get inside the mind of your “father,” for example, so that you can understand him.  I use my intuition to help open the conversation to more profound levels of understanding and enrichment. Very few of us can express ourselves fully when we feel emotional. Families always feel emotional about each other. Often, hurtful events from the past have caused a clog in the ability to be fully present today.

Who should I bring in if everyone won’t come? Please bring anyone that would like to attend with you. There is a great deal of education to these sessions so this information can be passed on later to those who are not present. You may also be surprised how you can help bring your family closer by your changes alone.

“My parents abused and abandoned me. I don’t want to talk to them.”

These are the most important sessions to have. These old hurts get buried alive and just as water seeping into a cellar, they create more and more damage over time. My personal and professional experience has shown me that these past hurts can be even more damaging to your life today. I always say that if you are lucky enough to have a living parent take advantage of it. Bring them in.

“My father died. I am adopted. My mother is on prescription drugs and I just can’t bring her in.” No worries, because of the highly innovative “psycho-spiritual” techniques I utilize, I am able to work with you individually to help you get the freedom from any issues that may have been holding you back.

“What is a “psycho-spiritual” technique?” My experience has shown me that we are connected to each other beyond time and space, beyond life and death, and beyond location and birth. In fact, we live inside each other as holographic beings and affect each other all the time. I have developed techniques to work with these living family members within us. Please refer to Individual Coaching Sessions for more information.

“Do I have to bring my family members in? I just don’t want to.” You do not have to bring your families members in. My job is to open your possibilities. When I work with a 33-year-old man, I can help get results even faster if he brings his father in with him. Why? We each have a “Blue-Print” system within. Guess what, your Dad is a major imprinter of your Subconscious mind. It’s an “ Invisible Operating System.” These maps affect everything you create for your life as an adult. They determine the amount of money you make. The love you receive. How you parent your children.  When we include your dad we can study him a bit and see what his life looks like. Then we will know what your internal “blue-prints” have been set for. At that point we are in a powerful position to dismantle those “blue –prints” if they won’t serve you and help you engineer some new more supportive maps. 

“These sessions are too expensive. I’m not going to spend that much money.” I know how you feel. Having been a client on more than one occasion, I know how it feels to lie out money and think to myself, “Was it worth it?” So, sessions are results driven and because of my intuitive abilities we can get a lot done in each. If we are not getting the results you are looking for I will refer you. I will not waste your time or mine.

“I can’t afford Individual Coaching Sessions with you.” For this reason I try to offer group sessions throughout the year. Please let me know if you would like to attend a group session and we can see what is available.

“Do you take Insurance?” I do not file insurance but many clients who have insurance do get reimbursements. Please check with your insurance and see what they pay on outpatient psychotherapy.
