In the historic town of Tappan, New York, where General George Washington once encamped, Donna McDine is leading a different kind of campaign—one dedicated to peace, tranquility, and healing. As the sole proprietor of Energy of Serenity, Donna has spent over 7 years helping clients unlock their inner calm through the powerful, complementary practices of Reiki, reflexology, and spiritual channeling.
Donna’s journey into energy healing began over 35 years ago, born from a personal need for relief. As a chronic migraine sufferer, she discovered Reiki through a coworker and experienced profound changes in her well-being. Though life temporarily steered her away from this path, a chance meeting with another Reiki teacher twelve years ago reignited her passion. What started as a pursuit of personal self-care has blossomed into a thriving practice focused on serving others. “I never thought I’d be teaching and facilitating,” Donna shares. “It has transpired into a beautiful serenity of establishing this for other people.”
At the heart of Energy of Serenity is a commitment to ongoing client care. Donna’s approach is distinctly personal and never “one and done.” She maintains contact with her clients and students between sessions, often reaching out to check on their progress. “The more that you talk about raising your vibration and releasing what no longer serves you, the easier it becomes and the lighter you become,” she explains. This dedication to lasting wellness sets her apart and builds deep, trusting relationships.
Donna offers a trio of specialized services. Her Reiki practice involves channeling universal source energy to help clients release stagnant energy and replace it with healthy, moving vitality. Intriguingly, Reiki knows no bounds of time or space; Donna frequently works with clients as far away as Sweden and California through distance healing sessions. Her reflexology services, which must be conducted in person, can be a standalone treatment or beautifully intertwined with Reiki. Additionally, as a certified master channeler, Donna connects with her spirit guide, Star Being Anton, to provide clarity and direction for those seeking answers.
One of the most profound aspects of Donna’s work is the intuitive information she receives during sessions. She often feels physical sensations in her own body that mirror her clients’ ailments, allowing her to direct healing energy precisely where it’s needed. In a remarkable instance, she psychically perceived a broken window lock in a child’s room with purple curtains—a detail the client was able to verify and fix, thanks to a message from a departed loved one. These experiences provide clients with not only physical relief but also profound emotional validation.
Family and community are cornerstones of Donna’s life. A lifelong resident of Rockland County, she values the close-knit, historical community of Tappan where she and her husband raised their two daughters. Her commitment to service extends beyond her business; she volunteers at local soup kitchens and holiday gift drives. She also dedicates a percentage of her monthly sales to the local chapter of the American Cancer Society and offers free sessions to veterans.
Continuously expanding her expertise, Donna is currently completing a certification in sound healing using tuning forks, a new modality she looks forward to integrating into her sessions. She also teaches Reiki classes, both privately and at The Light Club Curiosity Shop in Warwick, New York, fostering a growing community of practitioners.
For those curious about energy work, Donna offers a complimentary 15-minute session to new clients, providing a chance to connect and experience her calming presence. Her business is flourishing, with her schedule booked solid months in advance—a testament to the vital need for the peace and clarity she provides.
Donna McDine’s mission is clear: to help individuals quiet their minds, relax their bodies, and unleash their inner serenity. In a world that never stops moving, Energy of Serenity offers a sacred space to pause, heal, and reconnect with what truly matters.
