New skills for Donielle

Thank you for taking time to read my story. My name is Donielle and ever since I was twelve I have wanted to do massage therapy, and I've been lucky enough to have had a successful practice doing massages for the last 20 years. I started my training in high school and I was certified as a Physical Therapy Aide my senior year. In College, I studied anatomy and physiology and received my BA in Kinesiology with an emphasis on Psychology in 1995, which included studies in the mind /brain/healing connection before it was even popular.  I've also studied Massage Therapy, Anatomy Trains Structural Integration, Cranial Sacral massage, and many more. I've taught at massage schools as well, teaching Anatomy, Physiology, Intro to Neuromuscular Massage, Sports Massage, and many others. I have done cadaver labs to learn more and see what goes on inside the body. The body fascinates me.   Last year I was in a car accident (I was stopped and hit from behind) and the injuries I sustained have made it difficult to continue to do massage. Even with my injuries I have still continued my practice, because I have to. The injuries I received to my neck, hip, and knee have made it so I am limited to how many clients I can work on in a day due to the pain and discomfort and therapy time.  I have been searching for a way to still help people heal and discovered Auricular Therapy  , which works on the 'reflex' points on the ear - which there are over 300, and  Biofeedback  .  These classes will help me still be able to help people with less strain on my body. I am hoping to raise money to help with the equipment for the classes and the trainings. The Auricular machine costs $900 and the Biofeedback medicine way machine with the device to do sessions at a distance is $2400. The cost for 10 month trainings is $2500. *(I have been able to purchase the Auricular machine, Thank you!)*    I am already in the Auricular therapy class and need to purchase the pointselect machine so that I can practice, as I need to complete 20 case studies soon. The Biofeedback portion starts in October and I will need that machine soon after it starts.   I am also considering continuing on for an additional 2-3 more years to get my Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM). The tuition cost for that would be $7150. Some of my clients suggested that I start the gofundme page to help cover the expenses. It would truly be amazing and awesome if you decide to help. I would be eternally grateful to you and I promise to pay it forward!     Thank you!
