The possibilities are endless and Don Milton at Growth by Design can help.
Don Milton is a life coach and energy healer who helps individual clients as well as companies
achieve goals with efficiency and utmost satisfaction. Don employs a variety of proven methods
that help individuals accomplish their dreams and desires.
Don focuses on helping clients release the emotional baggage that stands in the way of improving
their lives. His own life has been a testament to his work as he continually does his own inner
work, thereby having a direct experience of the methods he teaches. Don brings a lifetime of
academic, business, military, and volunteer work experience to the table.
As an Army officer at NORAD in Colorado Springs for two years, Don supervised a group of civilians
and NCOs in a top secret intelligence group and was honorably discharged as a Captain in 1972.
From his beginnings at Auburn University, his main focus in life was Mathematics research and
teaching. He obtained his BS and MS degrees in the field of mathematics and completed all course
work for a PhD, excepting his dissertation. He taught math at the university as a graduate student
then eventually spent 25 years in the investment real estate brokerage business, obtained his
broker license in 1978 and started his own company, Vescom Properties, in 1984, which is the same
year that he held the designation of Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM). Don closed
over 300 million in sales and loans over a 15-year period.
Then in the early 90s, everything changed. Don had a shift in consciousness which led into a unique
route from a life in business to one of a more spiritual/psychological nature. Don says, “It was a
process that began in 1990 with a divorce and a financial downturn which lasted 11 years and
turned my world view upside down. It was what I call a eucatastrophic experience, which we all
have in life, once or more, and leads to either a breakthrough or breakdown. Often the breakdown
precedes the breakthrough.”
He began extensive study into energy work which led to his present career as a life coach and
healer and allowed him more direct experience in dealing with people and their emotional issues
than many professionals in psychology. He studied various methods of consciousness changing and
deep personal/spiritual growth philosophies which add to his ability to work at a deep level with
clients.
Don primarily uses Emotional Freedom Technique, Tapas Acupressure Technique, Matrix Re-
imprinting and the Byron Katie methods in his coaching practice. These methods allow the client to
practice skills which lead to more productive, satisfying and healthier lifestyles. He’s coached
hundreds of clients to achieve goals they never dreamed possible.
Don is also certified to practice:
Reiki, levels 1, 2, and 3; Level I Pranic Healing; Levels 1 and 2 Matrix Energetics; Therapeutic
Touch
Thought Field Therapy; The Healing Codes; Psych K; Quantum Touch
Don says, “On August 30, 2009 I was hit by an SUV as a pedestrian and in a coma for 6 weeks on life
support. I almost died several times and then was in other hospitals and rehab for another 7 weeks.
It took about a year of hard work to get fully self-sufficient again. I am left with permanent
damage on the right side of my body from the hip down which prevents me from ever doing some
of the physical things that used to be a joy to me. The process of dealing with this situation has
taken my understanding of life and healing to another level and is certainly nothing I would have
chosen to get these lessons.
As a result, I have learned how to live from my heart and trust that small, still voice within for
direction in my life and to use my ego/intellect to handle the details and that has given me more
real freedom in living than I have ever had before. My current business as an emotional freedom
coach is not just a business and is an extension of what my life is about. I am constantly looking for
what is real and true and effective on this journey as a spiritual being in a material world.”

Studied the works of Edgar Cayce work and Gurdjieff; A Course in Miracles, Avatar training; Walter
Russell's University of Science and Philosophy course, as well as others.
Published a cookbook in Dec 2010: www.cookingwithheartenergy.com. Don taught himself to cook
in 1990 reluctantly as a result of a divorce and had a revelation about how the negative thoughts
about the whole food process were creating energy toxins in the food; he totally changed his
attitude about cooking and everything else in life. Don studied different ways of eating and how
that affects the body; he has supervised dozens of people on fasting and the power and benefits of
colonics.
