About Donna Loftin, TN, HHP, QBS, CLS

Donna Loftin brings a unique blend of hands on experience, education and business know-how to Loftin Integrative Health Services. 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. 

Having always been a vibrant and curious person she dove head first into the Alternative Heath Field. After many years of self education and application, she began to recover from her long term illness. She came to understand that her disability stemmed from a combination of heavy metal poisoning from working in the printing industry, chronic fatigue syndrome, a severe case of Candida and extreme adrenal burn-out. Donna also came to understand that each condition had its own biological and emotional disease path and any one of them would compromise a person’s health. And so her long and passionate journey into the Alternative Health Field began.

Today, as a Traditional Naturopath, Holistic Health Practioner, Quantum Biofeedback Specialist and Electro Lymphatic Drainage Expert, Donna works with the quantum, or subtle, energetic field of the body and its various frequencies.She brings energetic 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 bio-energetic medicines, supplementation and homeopathics as well as the tried and true Eastern herbs and flower remedies to detoxify & rebuild the body.

“I consider myself first and foremost and educator. There is so much to learn about how your individual body interacts with itself and its environment and how your emotional response either helps or hurts that. Education is the KEY. Knowledge of “self” paves the road to wellness and elevates ones quality of life.”

As a client you will find that Donna possesses a unique sensitivity and ability to recognize and respond to your individual needs, meeting her clients "right where they are," in order to support them in their journey. She is able to help you gain the tools to optimal health. She fully understands that good health is a process.

Donna’s education spans many years and modalities. She studied Traditional Naturopathy at the International Quantum University of Integrative Medicine and received her Holistic Health Practioner Certification from Healing Hand Institute. She holds a Specialist qualification in Biofeedback from The Institute for Quantum Biofeedback Naturopathic Medicine (IQBNM), as well as Specialist and Teaching qualifications in Electro Lymphatic Drainage from The Foundation for Advancement of Energy Medicine Technology.
