Well-being Practitioner, Teacher & Mentor
Helping you channel your full potential
My name is Gail Donnan and I have worked in the well-being industry for twenty five years as a mindfulness practitioner, meditation teacher, coach, Reiki master teacher practitioner, Qi Gong instructor, holistic therapist, counsellor, qualified teacher, assessor and mentor.
I am also an ambassador for Psychologies Magazine and an accomplished guest speaker.
Listen to this episode of my podcast, Introduction the The Gateway
A journey to re-claim your power from stress and anxiety , Introduction to The Gateway Journey
My Story
I have encountered several life challenges myself such as post- natal depression, divorce, death of a close friend, burn out, anxiety, panic, fatigue and depression.
I have built resilience over the years through using mindfulness, meditation, self-development, energy medicine training, learning from ancient wisdom and self-mastery.
I own The Mindfulspace Wellbeing Company (Wellness Centre and Accredited Training College) based in Ripon in North Yorkshire and through my work over the years I have helped and supported many clients on a one to one basis along with clients wanting a career change into the well-being industry.
“The Gateway” is an introduction and modified version of my work with a choice for anyone to continue their journey in the form of workshops, study programs, accredited qualifications and retreats.
My Values & Beliefs
Integrity
by delivering a high standard of professional inclusive mentoring, training and teaching
Community
by creating a like-minded community to improve a sense of belonging
Purpose
to support people to identify their purpose
Empowerment
to teach people the skills to empower their lives
Permission
to allow people to grant themselves permission to understand that happiness is not a permanent state
Knowledge
to allow people to realise that anxiety, panic and depression are not something to be scared of, to understand how their body works and to avoid feeling like a failure
Awareness
to teach people to be aware of the content of their mind but to not identify with it
My Approach
My approach has been to empower people through self-development, wisdom and self-honouring using many Eastern philosophies and ancient time honoured techniques. I have personally dealt with anxiety, panic and depression so the resources are from two perspectives, one as a survivor and two as a trained practitioner.
We have ancient minds living in a super modern, fast and ever changing society. Reading the book, attending a workshop, study course or a Retreat will shed some light on why anxiety is the illness of our time – each resource builds on the last. I talk about energy balance, your personal power, my own healing journey, mindfulness, understanding the body and brain, meditation, Qi Gong, Reiki, the chakras, the auric Field, improving sleep, energy, yoga, ayuverda, self-honouring, ego, anxiety, hormones, technology, gratitude and happiness.
