Embodied Meditation was birthed out of Bio Self-Emergence Theory. Throughout Donna Harber's career as a psychological therapist, all roads ended at the same place for her - clients were not living the life she had hoped psychological support would provide. She looked for integrative models where the treatment was inclusive. In asking, we receive - information began coming to Donna - on most days, faster than she could write it down. The journey ended with an interactive practical theory of Bio Self-Emergence, the Journey of the Soul Essence into the Body Experience.

Donna writes, heals, sees psychological clients, teaches Yamuna Body Rolling, and Embodied Meditation. Her Bio Self-Emergence Institute offers training and supervision for the therapist, along with multiple levels of healer training.

Donna homeschools her son and provides a weekly circle school for other homeschooled children. Last year, the energetic meaning of each letter of the alphabet was covered, through movement, story, and watercolors. Donna and her husband Matt have been married for over 20 years. Matt is a gifted healer. He has brought his gifts into being to support Donna in her teaching. After a career in computers, database, and web development, he fed his passion for wood and his artistic eye to become a wood turner.

Donna and Matt co-run the Bio Self-Emergence Institute in Southfield, Michigan.

Donna R. Harber, MSW, CBT

Donna R. Harber’s passion for life and being in the body fueled her to develop her inter-related treatment model and theory of practice: Bio Self-Emergence - The Science and Energy of Forming. Donna founded the Bio Self-Emergence Training Institute in 2004. Currently, she is teaching the Clairvoyant Healer Training. She put into practice her inter-related model in 1999. In 2000, Donna started teaching Introductory Bio Self-Emergence classes.

Donna’s clinical training began at Trinity College, where she received her BA in Psychology and minored in Bible. She continued her formal education at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where she received a Masters in Clinical Social Work. Donna has completed a ten-year training program in Bioenergetic Analysis and is a Certified Bioenergetic Analysis Therapist. Donna has also completed a six-month introduction course to Biodynamic Cranial Therapy.

Donna conceived and taught her first Women's Identity Group in 1987. This program was implemented in two states and gave women a basis for a beginning sense of self and a frame of reference for a positive body image. Building on this concept, Donna researched and developed (in 1989) one of the first school-based prevention and identification programs for young women at risk of eating disorders.

In 1989, while serving as the clinical director for a clinic in Minnesota, Donna developed an Adolescents Out-Patient treatment program. The program gave the clinic a credible outreach program that enabled the clinic to expand. As a result of this expansion and the need to provide brief treatment, Donna developed specialty groups for adolescents, couples, women’s issues, anxiety, and depression.

She went on to serve as a Site Director of three outpatient mental health clinics, which gave her a unique experience providing staff training. In 1996, Donna began her own private practice, which gave her the time and space to take a deeper look at the theoretical underpinnings of traditional psychotherapy through the study of functional medicine and quantum physics.

Since 1996, Donna has developed and taught "Women’s Identity" series, "Bio Self-Emergence" (all four levels), "Walking the Body’s Labyrinth", "Passion, the Body, and Food", and the "Soul Emergence of Children (Energies of Parenting)".

Donna is currently the president and the primary trainer of the Bio Self-Emergence Institute.

Donna posesses two unique spiritual gifts. She communicates, reads, and heals through water molecules. Donna has developed a Bio Self-Emergence healing that works from the understanding of the form and function of the emotions within the structure of the body. Donna has worked with every health or physical concern from stirring life in the womb to cancer.
