Biography

Donna Hartley is a true survivor this is her story!

*On March 1, 1978 - survived a fiery DC-10 plane crash that transformed her life in seconds and inspired her to testify to change airline safety regulations

*On March 1, 2006 - triumphed over open-heart surgery to replace a faulty aortic valve and now is an advocate for women and heart disease

Her message is one of learning how to conquer change and achieve transformation through triumph over trials. Faced with insurmountable odds, she learned to be persistent during life-threatening times and use her inner leadership to create spiritual intuition to survive.

Fire Up Your Healing! A Journey of Cancer and Heart Surgery

“Melanoma … stage III.” Those three words struck fear into every part of Donna’s body on March 1, 2002. Donna shares the ten-step health regime, blending a holistic approach with traditional medicine, that she developed after receiving her diagnosis of stage III melanoma.

After adhering to this health plan, she was told she was cancer-free. Four years later, on March 1, 2006 (the same date as her first two near-death experiences), Donna was on the operating table for surgery to replace a collapsing aortic valve. Again she initiated her ten-step health regime to be ready for her team of doctors and also planning for her recovery. Now she was adamant about replacing any self-defeating thoughts and breaking free of negative patterns forever.

In this presentation, you’ll learn how combining traditional Western medicine and holistic, alternative practices can fire up your own healing:
The physical and emotional benefits of positive self-talk.
Why you need to get up … get moving … exercise.
Grab the healthy food choices... but educate yourself first.
Tune out the negativity.
Incorporate alternative medicines and techniques that lead to better and healthier results.
Cultivate a daily action of visualization.
Learn healing meditations that calm the nerves.
Construct a team of professional healthcare providers to put you on the fast track to a new and improved you.
Become a proactive, two-way communicator with your healthcare team to gain your best outcomes.
Set a specific intention for your body, mind, emotions, and spirit to work together for healing.
