Donna Lancaster

Coach 🌻 Author 🌻 Elder

Hi, my name is Donna and welcome to my website.

I am a life transitions coach, author, group facilitator and ‘elder in training’, with 35 years experience of guiding individuals, couples and families towards their own healing and awakening. 

I am passionate about supporting people to reconnect with the truth of who they are, and then to live and Love from this true place. I work with those who are ready to move beyond their emotional wounding and old stories, and instead learn how to view their life’s journey through the lens of the Soul. 

All of my work focuses on (re)learning how to trust our own intuition and live a more authentic open-hearted life, whilst expanding our capacity for Love (the kind with a capital L). I call this work ‘Inner Activism’ because I believe that as each of us heals and awakens, we are changing the world from the inside out. 

My work offerings have evolved, just as I have, and this website gives a taste of the work I need to focus on at this stage in my life. I do hope you enjoy having a look around and hopefully find something here to support you.

“Wakey Wakey”

Wakey Wakey is my signature programme and the ultimate package for all those walking an awakening path.

In all awakening processes there is a need for consistent guidance and support along the way, to avoid us falling back to sleep. A hand to steady you, a guiding light to steer you, and when required, a loving nudge to help you reawaken and continue to move forward.

“For just as we know we need to eat, sleep and exercise well to support our physical health, the same is true for our Spirit. We need regular practices and rituals to slow down and clear away the debris of modern day living that hinders our capacity to listen and be guided by a deeper wisdom.”
