| Laleah
was one of Donna’s first clients when Donna moved to Ashland in the early 1980s.
Laleah expressed strong gratitude for their work together, and she later donated much of
her inheritance to advance Donna’s work. Her gift supported many worthy projects for
a full decade.
We were heartbroken to learn of
Laleah’s passing June 2006. She lived her life fully, interacting with all age
groups, all types, traveling widely, doing much good. She embodied that wonderful
combination of being young in spirit, yet wise. The sound of her laughter was a joy.
We loved her. . . and it was so very easy to love Laleah. |

Laleah was born in March
of 1929 in Connecticut. She lived in Massachusetts and Alaska prior to moving to the
Oregon mountains in the 1970’s. Laleah was curious, tenacious and had an
adventuresome spirit. A life of exploration fueled her considerable creative and artistic
talents. Laleah enjoyed painting, gardening, hiking, biking, birding, gourmet cooking, and
searching her innermost soul. She read widely, kept detailed journals, and meticulously
documented her adventures and explorations. Personal and spiritual growth became lifelong
priorities that Laleah approached with courage and determination. She was dedicated to
putting what she learned into practice in her daily living. She saw that Energy Medicine
had the potential to improve her health and well being, so she studied and practiced,
often decorating parts of her home with charts and notes to keep her mindful of her goals,
which she set high. The Tibetan Buddhist tradition also nourished her during this life and
comforted her at the end. Laleah was devoted to her friends and was generous with her
time, money, and energy. She was particularly sensitive to the struggles of those in need
and was a strong supporter of the Energy Medicine Institute in its early days. Laleah died
Friday, June 23, 2006 in Ashland, Oregon. |
