I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work. Certified in Adult Education, Meditation instructor and too many workshops, readings, training to count. While the education I received was worthwhile, what has given me wisdom is experience.
Knowledge + experience +practice, practice practice = wisdom.
What I’ve learned over many years of practice is that until we “conquer thyself” true peace and happiness will remain an elusive goal. I’ve begun a writing project that will talk about those practical skills. By practical I mean things to practice.
I see the act of letting go as one of freeing oneself from our man made prisons of the mind. Letting go can be in the moment, a recent argument or the past. In all instances it is an internal act and always in process. We are always letting go.
You cannot change what you are not aware of and fear is typically at the root of most discomfort we have. Fear isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's there to help us. The problem is when the fear is controlling us versus us controlling the it. Either way you have to see it before you can change it.
Communication is arguably one of the top presenting issues for counselling. Many people will come in to say "I need to communicate better" or "They don't listen". What is usually being asked however isn't how to communicate better but how to understand one another.
One of the popular topics discussed in Deep Dive Discussions is love. Love is something we crave but it seems like an elusive target. How do you know when you are loved? Does someone need to love you in ways that you see it in order to know you are loved? Am I loving?
I envision a world where people become aware of the fact that the power to change their lives rest solely within them. That to live a full and happy life means pushing the boundaries what we see and believe is possible. Thus I’ve created a product that will walk you through the steps involved to transforming your life from one of sick and tired of being sick and tired to one of living with intention and purpose. So I’m giving you an educational program that will allow you to change all your relationships (work, home, family, friends) and live a full life. For therapists, I’m working on an educational program that will help you help your clients. Stay tuned but in the meantime come along for the ride and I’ll be right here with you!!! With Love, Donna
Planning an event that needs some ideas and strategies on healthy relationships (intimate, workplace, family/friends and self), co-parenting or blending families? Why not get a group together and have me come in to give you some tips and strategies.
Recently I began organizing a group I call “Deep Dive Discussions”. In that group we discuss the deeper issues underlying our actions. We choose a topic and discuss it. One example of a topic we discussed recently is “what does it really mean to love”.
If you would like to begin your own group, reach out and we can get one started.
I offer one on one sessions either in person or online. I do individual and couples work. My other passion rests with co-parenting and blending families. I will offer you truth and honest feedback so your life will change as you work toward a life of permanent peace.
I’m married to an entrepreneur and a brilliant man. Bill is a business guy through and through. Some may believe our two worlds of business and counselling aren’t related and in many ways that’s true. However where they converge is in humans.
Human beings run business. I worked with company leaders showing them how to lead their employees to become more motivated.
What drives this passion for working with leaders is the fact I have worked with so many employees who are unhappy at their job. I can see how this would impact both growth in a company and productivity.
If you are interested in learning more about how to transform yourself in order to motivate your employees in another direction and see your business vision, please reach out and we will make it happen.
I’m an experienced life consultant with a blog full of valuable insights. My in-depth posts cover a wide range of topics to help you achieve your goals and thrive in all aspects of life. Check out my website to transform your life for the better.
If you or a loved one needs help navigating bureaucracies, managing mental health or advocating for their rights, please contact me. I’ll take the time to understand your needs and work with you to meet them. Thanks for considering my services.
