About Donna Loftin, TN, HHP, QBS, CLS

Donna brings a unique blend of integrative health services to the clinic including the use of Energy Medicine Technologies and BioEnergetic Screening.

Her enthusiasm for Alternative Health Care and Natural Medicine comes from overcoming a debilitating illness in her twenties that left her bed-ridded with pain, fatigue, malaise and overall despair. After years of decline and no answers from Western Medicine, she looked toward Eastern Medicine and Alternative Health Care Modalities. This is where she found a new way to look at health and wellbeing.

Today, as a Traditional Naturopath, Holistic Health Practioner, Quantum Biofeedback Specialist and Lymphatic Decongestion Expert, Donna works with the quantum, or subtle, energetic field of the body and its various frequencies. She brings Energy Medicine to a new level by using today's cutting-edge technologies as tools to assess her clients’ overall health, imbalances and stressors in the bio-terrain. She utilizes many forms of today's new BioEnergetic medicines, supplementation and homeopathics as well as the tried and true Eastern herbs and flower remedies to support, detoxify and rebuild the body.
