Bio
Ever since I was 18, I have been studying and learning about self-development, personality models, and how to understand myself and improve myself. I’m a mother, a wife, a student, and a teacher. I had a rather unusual childhood and lived in the US, Spain, England, and Saudi Arabia as a child.
Being exposed to different cultures as a child was both challenging but also very expansive. After earning my Masters in Engineering at the age of 21, I worked as a reliability engineer, then I went into quality improvement, team facilitation and organization development before finding my way to energy psychology.
The field of energy psychology was developing rapidly when I entered it in 2004, and I was fortunate to have intimate access to skilled and adept teachers. I now have several thousand hours of client experience and am an accredited, advanced practitioner and mentor in the energy psychology field, specifically EFT.
Trained in family constellations healing, I also bring in guidance from my studies of various human development models such as Human Design, Gene Keys and the Enneagram.
I’ve had my share of bumps as a child, some unfortunate events that led to me having to do some serious work on myself. I know what it’s like to doubt yourself, to not feel self-love, to diminish who you are. I’ve journeyed myself through raw, ripping heartache and came out the other side to find compassion and a sense of place.
A large part of my last 20 years has been being an attachment, unschooling mom for my three intelligent, loving, and quite capable children. My work now focuses on supporting adults in their spiritual growth path using the lens of my favorite modalities: The Enneagram subtypes and levels of awareness, IFS, and ancestral work, all based solidly on a foundation of tapping aka EFT.
I’m gifted with intuition and when working with others, I find the right insight and words that helps bring understanding and relief. It’s an intuitive, energetic collaboration between my energy and your energy supported by the foundation of tools and methods that work.

Publications
2012
Family Energetics released on Kindle and paperback
From Amazon: “In this hands-on guide, Deborah Donndelinger takes the reader through the steps to address ancestral and family system entanglements that can block your success today. Family Energetics is an innovative approach that draws from several powerful modalities: the ancient Chinese system of medicine and its knowledge of meridians, the more modern field of energy psychology, and spiritual inter-generational healing. Deborah shows readers how to apply Family Energetics to causational events such as divorce, miscarriages, immigration, war, etc. She also lays out the foundational principles so that readers can develop their own approaches.”
2018
Just for Today, A Year Around the Sun released on kindle and paperback. Only available on Kindle now.
From Amazon: “Building on the modern description of these 64 energies found in Gene Keys and Human Design, this book is a contemplative process that combines with the power of the meridian tapping tools called EFT to guide us into knowing and loving ourselves more deeply. Building on the tools of energy psychology, tapping, and the archetypal energies found in the I Ching, Human Design, and Gene Keys, this book offers 183 every-other-day contemplations and exercises as we move through the year’s archetypal energies. Working with this material will help you: Stay grounded with the regular use of tapping, a self-care tool. Get new insights about archetypal energies that affect us all. See the hope in the chaos around you.”
