"Donna is the kind of motivational speaker that emotionally connects with her audience to deliver a fun, interactive, humorous and inspirational message that they undoubtedly remember for a lifetime.  Her energy motivates, her stories inspire, her sincerity impresses and her humor definitely entertains. 

Having contracted Donna to work with long-term care staff on a variety of different issues over the past several years, I can attest to the fact that that all health care workers, regardless of their background or experience, find her knowledge, her insights and her empathy truly invaluable and affirming."

"Donna, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful presentation you did. You are a very dynamic speaker, but you exude a sense of being grounded and having an understanding that makes your audience feel comfortable and open to you.

I very much enjoyed the symbolism of the music you chose and the opportunity for reflection. You are definitely an asset to the region."

Magic Moments in Health Care - Workshop Participant Reviewsdonna


“Profound and dynamic workshop! I looked forward to coming to each session and felt energized after .I learned a lot about myself and others and I just love that. I now have an ability to go back and see a patient and myself in a new way.”

“I think everyone in heathcare should take this course. I came in looking for new ways to be able to help patients I work with. I came out having a new purpose of what I do. Donna you do a great job a looking at the whole picture and enlightening us. I can now evaluate myself”

“Excellent- encouraged self realization and gave me new ways to deal with certain patient situations”

“Great, very enjoyable and fulfilling, I am now able to see the patients with a more open nonjudgmental mind. You learned something new each session”

“I didn’t think there was anything new I could learn. Wrong Wrong Wrong. I now know that you create “magic moments” by being more aware of others and accepting of others for who they are… and go on from there. ”

“Awesome and inspiring helped me to take myself and my work to another level and I will continue to.”

“Everyone could benefit for this course- amazing and enlightening. This was an opportunity for self reflections, and encouragement that we can make a difference.
