How people describe their inward journey with donna…

“I was curious about this hoʻoponopono way of life that was helping a friend of mine move past the depression she was dealing with for a while. I am happy I connected with Donna and my curiosity about this way of life is still happening. I am learning to access the power in my breath, and how the intention to “show up” for ME every day takes commitment and self-discipline. And I am worth it! I love that Donna is helping me to connect with my inner spiritual world. Learning to access my inner love and light when I am in conflict, gives me a sense of security.” -Liz

“I was going through a dark time in my life when I stumbled upon the hoʻponopono way of life. In the first session, Donna helped me to understand that I am the creator of my life choosing these experiences to learn lessons to help me grow and expand my awareness of who I am. So much of what she was saying felt true in my heart that I was ignoring because it was painful to me. Donna was boldly honest in helping me to recognize that I am capable and responsible for creating my own happiness in life. By the end of the session, I had shifted my perception of who I am in this relationship; I felt calm with a great desire to move forward. It is very empowering to be at peace with myself when conflict is staring me in the face. I am starting to recognize how spiritual laws work in my everyday life.” - Jeanine

“Aunty Donna rocks! She is funny, loving, creative and is a great storyteller. She is so tuned-in, accurate and a safe person to share your deepest fears with. I did, and that was never easy for me to do. I ignored “my fears”. Aunty would have me correct that statement by saying “the fears” rather than “my fears”. She pays such close attention to what I am saying and how I am feeling. I never experienced that with anyone before; I know she really cares about me in a real way. Mahalo for being in my life Aunty. -Anthony

“Learning about the ho’oponopono way of life has been life-altering. My confidence, both in myself and in parenting my children has grown. I have experienced deep states of forgiveness, strayed, and navigated back to my core. This way of life has introduced me to new levels of liberation.” -Summer

“Showing up every day for ME is still a challenge. I am getting better at it. Learning to live the hoʻoponopono way of life gives me the clarity I lacked for a very long time in my life. I can now see my own unhealthy patterns and I am learning the power in being able to choose my focus at any given moment. I feel the courage to keep moving forward growing within me. I can see how it has changed my belifs about myself and the way I relate with key people in my life.” -Desiraee

“The work I am doing with prisoners in our jail system can be very disheartening and tiresome. It’s difficult work to do when you come up against the old institutional model/mind set of the adminstration and staff that prevents these imprisoned individuals from making a genuine shift in their perceptions of who they are when the old perceptions are being re-enforced and enforced by the institution. Donna offered to do a prayer with me for the prison and all who live and work there. I realized when we were done with the prayer that what I am doing there is of great value. I am effecting change. I am clear and charged to do what I do naturally in working with these folks. Donna helped me to intuitively understand the need to be mindful, that I am never doing this work alone. This knowing helped me to feel the support I was lacking. Mahalo Donna! “ -Bob

“Since I was a little girl Aunty Donna made me feel special and loved. Now in my twenties having suffered for most of my life with stuttering and body dysmorphia, learning the hoʻoponopon way of life with her guidance is a blessing and healing for me. She never stops seeing the best in me no matter what I am going through or how awful I may be feeling about myself. She helped me to better understand my personal struggles in life. She encourages me to focus on and bring forth my hidden talents and abilities. I am beginning to see them as gifts to share with others. I know I am spiritual being. My ability to empath and feel compassion for others is a gift I unconsciously had all my life. I am learning how to show up for myself first and then be there for others, to hold space with the best intention and not take on others’ perceptions, feelings and problems. Now, I get to consciously experience this for myself and others. I am learning to truly embrace the best in me. Believe Aunty Donna when she says, “Work with others or situations in the spirit first, then take right action.” I heeded her guidance on that when the love of my life was about to leave behind our relationship. Our relationship has healed and there is greater peace, balance and understanding in me. Mahalo and Aloha Aunty Donna.” -Grandneice, Nohealani

“Donna helped me to better understand myself and my teenage daughter. I am a single dad that only wants the best for her. I worry about my daughter. Donna helped me to see and nurture the best in her. It improved our communications with each other. Learning about forgiveness of self and others is of great value to me as Donna has also helped me to shift my views in my personal relationships that has created more confidence in me in how I show up in my relationships in life.” Marcello
