She was born in Corby, Northamptonshire and started having visions and hearing voices during her early childhood. Sometimes these phenomena were overwhelming to her as a child and young adult. She is what they call ‘clair-audient’ and also communicates with her contacts through the help of a ‘spirit guide’. Like many with this ‘ability’ she struggled on not knowing how to cope with the intensity of it all, sometimes frightened, sometimes curious but always in-contact with those from beyond. Donna says the most important thing for mediums, is their development as psychics. They need to learn how to control the plethora of psychic noise coming into them as well as how to handle the responsibility. She explains how she got help herself. “One day my husband was having some spiritual healing given to him and I stayed upstairs in the house. The healer insisted on seeing me telling my husband she had a message about my gift. I was confused at first, how did she know what was going on in my head? In the end I listened to what she said and I was eventually was put in touch with a woman called Maureen Murnan another psychic, it was she that helped me. She taught me to channel the energy and to better control who or what was coming through. It is hard to do it alone, support is very important and that is why there are colleges to help and develop young psychics around the country and the world. After this experience and period of learning I accepted what I felt was real and understood I could actually communicate with these voices not just listen to them and from then on it stopped being frightening to me. Overall my initial development took 8 months and though I continue to develop and grow as a psychic I am able now to help other ‘newbies’ of the psychic medium world by teaching regularly at the College of Psychic Studies in South Kensington, London. “Readings, the sittings and even demonstrations in theatres are full of sceptical people as well as those that want to hear from their loved ones. I suppose if you don’t believe then its fine I’m not here to convince you or anyone of anything. I am here to do what I can to help people that have passed communicate with their relatives on this side. Each communication is unique and is dependant on the blend of energy between the spirit, myself and the recipient and if some information is not as clear I'm always willing to say
so. I don't worry about what sceptics will say. I just do what I do. If that is ammunition to the sceptic then so be it. There are those that will never accept anything a medium says no matter what. To be honest for a sceptic even proof is not enough for them to believe. Donna has appeared on Sixth Sense, Psychic Private Eye and Psychic Detectives with mediums Colin Fry and Tony Stockwell.
