In 2000, Dr. Donaldson became the first doctor in the world to introduce total body vibroacoustic, color and light harmonic resonant therapy called Light Portal™ into her practice allowing her patients a meditative-like experience allowing balance in the body.
In her words, “I offer hope to people who have no hope. I do this by passionately searching for the cause to appropriately treat the underlying dysfunction. I do not believe patients are drug deficient, but are out of balance in their biochemical, nutritional, hormonal, emotional, cellular and/or spiritual makeup. One must find where the individual is out of balance and correct it to sustain wellness.”
