Training and Mentoring Testimonials
“Donna Ray’s heart is as big as her body of work and knowledge. Her support, information and refinement of our skills is wonderful. Alas, all mixed in with clarity, fun and wisdom!”
— Mary R.
“It was moving to observe how she connects to others. Donna immediately intuits what the person needs most in a certain moment…. she knows immediately how to establish connection, a look, silence, a pause… a small touch… but it’s already profound communication, being completely at the other’s service, donating without judgement, a being there without forgetting about herself.”
— Gabriella Icardi (Feldenkrais Practitioner)
“This class was a wonderful mix of doing, watching, and discussing. I felt stretched (in a very positive way) and free to explore what I didn’t know as well as what I thought I knew.

She provides the best kind of learning environment.”
