(1)

I am the Founder and Owner of Ascension School of Healing Arts (ASHA) and Ascension Healing Arts Center! I've been practicing Energy Healing since 1994 and was certified as a Master in 1999. I was also trained in myomassology under Irene Gauthier in 1997. In 2000 I began teaching Reiki, Intuitive Development, and Healing with The Holy Spirit. I've been doing healings on clients since 1998, for ove

r 25 years. In 2006, I developed my Managing Your Energy class. Through the years, I channeled the Inner-child Healing, Past Life Healing, Subconscious Reprogramming Methods, and Self Healing courses. The type of healing that I facilitate, I now call Ascension Healing. My purpose is to assist the collective in ascending to Christ Consciousness! My courses are designed to help you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually mature. Ultimately lifting you into higher consciousness in the physical body. From birth, I've always had a close relationship with God and have been intuitive. I was told long ago, as I was growing up, that our society is lacking integrity and is not in service to the greater good of the whole. I was also told that our institutions and systems need to change worldwide. That change begins within each of us. We need to learn to fill ourselves up and overflow versus competing for energy, as we have done for thousands of years. Each of us has to step into self-realization and self-love, and our God given true power. The Holy Spirit taught and guided me little by little to develop this type of healing that myself and staff facilitate and teach today. I teach Reiki I&II and Reiki Master throughout the year in person and via Zoom. Healer Certification Program

To the new faces I am seeing on my page, hi. I am so glad you found your way here. ๐ŸŒธ

I am Donna Lakes, founder of Ascension School of Healing Arts in Ferndale, Michigan. โœจ

I am a Reiki Master, intuitive healer, and a teacher of the ancient arts. But what I really am is someone who got tired of suffering and decided to do the work, and then turned around and built a school so you would not have to walk it alone. ๐Ÿค

ASHA is where ancient wisdom meets modern healing. We blend Reiki, energy medicine, Kundalini yoga, inner child work, trauma-informed healing, nervous system reset, and subconscious reprogramming into one path home to yourself. ๐ŸŒ€

What I do here:

๐ŸŒฟ One on one healing sessions and intuitive readings
๐Ÿ”ฅ Sacred Release events for the emotions your body has been carrying
๐ŸŽถ Sound baths that drop you into the frequency of remembrance
๐Ÿ“ฟ Monthly Reiki shares, cacao ceremonies, and healing circles
๐ŸŒŸ Reiki certification and our Intuitive Healer & Ascension Healer Certification programs, in person and online

My mission is simple. I am here to help shift the consciousness of the world, one healed heart at a time. I teach people to heal themselves, and then I empower them to become healers for others. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’ซ

You do not have to be perfect to walk through our doors. You just have to be willing.

Come sit in our space. Take a class. Book a session. Or just say hi in the DMs, I read every one. ๐Ÿ’Œ

You were never broken. You were just waiting to remember. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Love,
Donna ๐ŸŒธ

๐Ÿ”Š Your nervous system is listening to everything.

Every sound. Every frequency. Every vibration. Your body responds whether you notice it or not. โœจ

Ancient cultures used sound for healing thousands of years before science could explain why. Now research is catching up to what they always knew.

Here's what studies are actually showing ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿง  Sound shifts brain wave activity. Beta (active thinking) can soften into Alpha (calm) and Theta (meditative states) with rhythmic auditory stimulation.

๐Ÿ’† Calming sound may lower cortisol. Reviews of music and sound interventions show reductions in stress hormones, heart rate, and blood pressure.

๐ŸŒฟ Singing bowl studies have reported reductions in anxiety, tension, anger, fatigue, and low mood.

๐Ÿซ Slow sound patterns encourage slower breathing, relaxed muscles, and parasympathetic activation (rest and digest mode).

โค๏ธ Music therapy is already used in hospitals, hospice, trauma support, and neurological care.

The body holds onto stress long after the stressful moment ends. Sometimes healing begins when the nervous system finally feels safe enough to soften. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

This is why people often cry, release, or feel deep peace during a sound bath. The vibration creates space the body has been waiting for.

We approach sound healing as a nervous system regulation tool, a mindfulness practice, and a complementary wellness modality, not a replacement for medical care. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ”” Bookmark this for the next time someone asks if sound healing is "real."

โ˜€๏ธ The longest day of the year is calling you home to your heart ๐Ÿซ

There's a reason ancient cultures gathered at the solstice. It's the single most energetically potent day of the year, when nature itself shows you what it looks like to bloom completely. And this year, you're invited to meet it with cacao, sound, and sacred stillness.

Join Donna Lakes at ASHA for the Summer Solstice Cacao Ceremony, a heart-opening evening designed to help you reset, release, and realign before stepping into summer.

What's included in this sacred container ๐ŸŒธ
โ˜• Ceremonial-grade cacao to activate your heart center
๐ŸŽถ Crystal singing bowl sound bath
๐Ÿช” Tibetan singing bowls placed directly on the body
๐Ÿง˜ Guided meditation and breathwork
๐ŸŒŠ Gentle somatic release for your nervous system
๐ŸŒฑ Intention setting to carry you through the season

Why cacao? It's been used for centuries as a plant medicine for the heart. It supports safe emotional processing, grounding, and opening, all within a warm, supportive container. Pair that with the vibrations of crystal and Tibetan bowls and your nervous system finally exhales ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒบ Optional add-on: Mini Blue Lotus Aura Spray from Prismatic Flower Essences, so you can carry the solstice energy home with you.

๐Ÿ“… Saturday, June 20, 2026
