Hilary Bryan, Certified Movement Analyst

“Years ago I was in a workshop that Donna offered at a Laban conference and was touched by her creativity, her compassion, and her refined facilitation.”

“Total participation bonded us even in the brief session.”

“This workshop was wonderful! Everyone should experience this kind of modality when exploring spirituality. Self/Spirit at the basic level - the body.”

Sean Caulfield, Dementia Advisor – Alzheimer Scotland

"The more I learn about self-expression through the arts the greater my appreciation grows for what you do and why it is so important."

“Love, love, loved it! I am so excited to encourage dance movement therapy in our community and Donna's passion and expertise enabled me to go home well armed to advocate for this valuable service.”

Marcia Binder

”Donna often brings home to us in a dramatic way, the power of our movement and the love of the dance. She helps us recognize how deeply the body can experience and, therefore, teach us. Sometimes Donna’s contribution is to remind us of why we entered this field and re-kindle our love of the work.”
