Donna Lakes

Donna Lakes Self Development Coach, Innerchild Healing, Ascension Coach, Reiki Master/Teacher and Spiritual Life Coach at Ascension School Of Healing Arts.

I am the Founder and Owner of Ascension School of Healing Arts (ASHA) and Ascension Healing Arts Center! I've been practicing Energy Healing since 1994 and was certified as a Master in 1999. I was also trained in myomassology under Irene Gauthier in 1997. In 2000 I began teaching Reiki, Intuitive Development, and Healing with The Holy Spirit. I've been doing healings on clients since 1998, for ove

r 25 years. In 2006, I developed my Managing Your Energy class. Through the years, I channeled the Inner-child Healing, Past Life Healing, Subconscious Reprogramming Methods, and Self Healing courses. The type of healing that I facilitate, I now call Ascension Healing. My purpose is to assist the collective in ascending to Christ Consciousness! My courses are designed to help you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually mature. Ultimately lifting you into higher consciousness in the physical body. From birth, I've always had a close relationship with God and have been intuitive. I was told long ago, as I was growing up, that our society is lacking integrity and is not in service to the greater good of the whole. I was also told that our institutions and systems need to change worldwide. That change begins within each of us. We need to learn to fill ourselves up and overflow versus competing for energy, as we have done for thousands of years. Each of us has to step into self-realization and self-love, and our God given true power. The Holy Spirit taught and guided me little by little to develop this type of healing that myself and staff facilitate and teach today. I teach Reiki I&II and Reiki Master throughout the year in person and via Zoom. Healer Certification Program

Happy Earth Day from ASHA ๐Ÿ’š

At Ascension School of Healing Arts, Donna Lakes deeply believes in the healing that comes from grounding to the Earth. The Earth holds so much wisdom, steadiness, and support for us when we slow down enough to reconnect.

Whether it is standing barefoot in the grass, sitting beneath the trees, breathing with intention outside, or simply becoming more present with the natural world around you, grounding to the Earth can help bring calm, clarity, and balance back to the body, mind, and spirit.

But at ASHA, we also believe that grounding does not stop there.

It is just as important to ground to yourself.

To come home to your own body.
To reconnect with your own energy.
To feel safe, centered, and rooted within.
To build a deeper relationship with who you are and how you move through the world.

This is a meaningful part of Donnaโ€™s approach and one of the specialties woven into the healing work and teachings at ASHA.

If you feel called to explore this more deeply, you can learn more about this grounded healing approach through our courses.

Today, may you take a moment to connect with the Earth โ€” and with yourself. ๐ŸŒŽ

Hi everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ here's this week's message from spirit โœจ Have a wonderful week ๐ŸŒˆโ˜บ๏ธ

04/20/2026

There is no greater investment than into yourself.

One of the most important things Iโ€™ve learned is that when you choose to invest in your healing, your growth, and your inner life, that investment touches every part of who you are.

At ASHA, we offer many ways to begin or deepen that journey. Whether you feel called to healing courses, private healing services, or self-study programs you can move through at your own pace, there is a path here for you.

You do not have to have it all figured out before you begin.
You simply have to be willing to choose yourself.

Healing courses can help you grow your knowledge, awareness, and abilities.
Healing services can support you in receiving, releasing, and restoring.
Self-study can give you the freedom to explore and transform in your own time and space.

However you begin, know this:
your healing matters,
your growth matters,
and you are worth the investment.

With love,
Donna Lakes

Feeling good.
Iโ€™ve been doing Reiki inner child healing Intuitive healing and Ascension healing for 30 years!!

A couple of years ago, I took a Sound Healing class and began to include the crystal bowls in the Tibetan bowls in the drum, not only in my sessions, but offering event events that included Sound Healing!!

Last night, I did a Sound Healing event, I had some old students from years ago show up, and it was really cool!

One of those students is an expert in Sound Healing and I didnโ€™t know this although I had an idea that she was and that I had met her before!!
And sure enough I had in a while back she had taken Reiki from me!
When we were talking, I was like I feel like such an amateur at this and she said no actually it was amazing and everyone was coming up to me and telling me how wonderful it was ๏ฟผand telling me of their experience!!

That made me feel really good and boosted my confidence in an area where I have less experience!!

Iโ€™m a singer songwriter so Iโ€™m very into music ๐ŸŽถ and doing Sound Healing is a lot of fun for me!!

So my point is is that even if youโ€™re a little green at something doesnโ€™t mean that youโ€™re not amazing at it!! so be confident, and be proud of yourself even at your newer accomplishments!!!

I just love hearing from my students about their experience with the Intuitive Healer Program. โœจ

I had the opportunity to work with Mary and Rosie who were both exceptional students. To witness their transformation is truly rewarding! Love you ladies! โค๏ธ

Your nervous system is your body's command center. It controls how you respond to stress, safety, connection, and danger. When your nervous system stays stuck in survival mode, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or emotionally reactive without knowing why.

That stuck state is your body protecting you based on old patterns. The good news? You can support your nervous system in finding balance again. This is what people mean by "resetting" the nervous system.

Here are 5 ways to support nervous system regulation ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿง˜ Deep belly breathing. Slow exhales signal safety to your brain and help shift you out of fight-or-flight mode.

๐ŸงŠ Cold water on the wrists or face. This activates the vagus nerve and may help calm an activated stress response quickly.

๐ŸŒฟ Time in nature. Fresh air, natural light, and grounding your feet on the earth can support your body in returning to a calm state.

๐ŸŽต Sound healing. Certain frequencies and vibrations may help the body release stored tension and move into a parasympathetic (rest and restore) state.

๐Ÿ’› Safe human connection. A regulated nervous system co-regulates with others. Healing in community supports transformation on a deeper level.

Your body is always communicating with you. Learning to listen is the first step toward lasting emotional well-being.

At ASHA (Ascension School of Healing Arts), we guide students and clients through nervous system reset, somatic release, and embodiment practices that support real, lasting change.
