Donny Epstein proves that the hashtag MeToo movement is still ongoing. In the culture of cults it is very hard to voice your opinion. It took an exceptional amount of bravery and faith for the people who dared to speak up. This article is about a collective of hashtag MeToo testimonies about Donny Epstein, the Founder and Leader of EpiEnergetics.
Who is Donny?
Donny Epstein is a Doctor of Chiropractic and the founder of EpiEnergetics, and hosts events like the Transformational Gate and AlchemE. He received the Service to the Profession Award from Sherman College of Chiropractic. Tony Robbins calls him a guy with the New Jersey look with a golden bracelet on YouTube.
He wrote Healing Myths, Healing Magic, and The Seeker’s Code (2023). He has trained countless chiropractors in NetworkSpinal, his chiropractic technique, and the 12 Stages of Healing.
My observations
From 1-3 November 2024, I followed the 12 Stages Phenomenon course, which took place in Denver, Colorado, online. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish the full 3-day program. After a couple of hours on the second day I couldn’t take his abusiveness anymore.
On the first day, he started by giving people 5 seconds to say that their application forms with private information couldn’t be read out loud. You could feel the pressure on people not to speak up, which is stereotypical cultish behavior.
He talked about healing Russian clients recently, which is after the start of the Ukraine War.
He sends energy balls through the room, and people make moaning sounds, shake their bodies, and nearly pass out. It feels like people have to fake it, to please his ego.
In his Seeker’s Code Online Course, he makes people feel 1 dimension at a time, ‘Here’s one, here's another'. He also says that ‘we no longer have to be abused or hurt’. Only people who leave his community can escape that destiny. Many have already once they get aware of how heartless Donny is, and summon the strength to leave.
The community speaking up
I reached out to people within the community and asked to share their stories. Many people were mortified to tell the truth. I could tell.
One person called his teachings ‘Mental’. Another said ‘I got tired of Donny being an asshole and treating people so poorly. There’s a long history of that’ and ‘I’ve watched generations of talent leave over the years cause they got tired of him treating them like this’.
Someone who worked several years with Donny said, “Anyone who has extraordinary natural gifts and talents and the ability to change people's lives needs to exercise those gifts with extreme caution. Humility and vulnerability are very important for those who want to be of service to others. One may have amazing gifts and change the lives of many, however, in the delivery of care, it’s possible to make assumptions and those assumptions may not be correct. That has a huge impact on other people’s lives. When dealing with the energetic essence of a person, there is the potential for unintended consequences. Ego can get in the way of true healing.’
Judgment day
Abusive leadership in healing communities can’t be tolerated anymore in 2025. Leaders should treat people with respect and care for the consequences of those they heal. They need a heart.
Based on the above stories and my own perceptions, I feel bad for all the people whose lives he has ruined. God will judge him badly on Judgment Day. On the contrary, ‘Donny will think he is such a great person on his deathbed in the hospital’ based on my intuitive perceptions.
The fairytale of the 71-year-old American white male from Brooklyn, New York, seems to come to an end. I have a vision for the world where abusive leaders shouldn’t be given a platform to influence the world.

I’m Jonathan (38y) and a Spinal Flow Practitioner in Madrid. I started as a high-potential at Thomson Reuters when I was 21. After Brussels and Geneva, I started the healing journey in Singapore and fell in love with my Chiropractor. I discovered I was gay in a country where it was still illegal at the time. With a broken heart, I moved to New York City, where I worked in Corporate Strategy. At 24, a revolt of the soul would happen at the Times Square Headquarters, and I was admitted to Bellevue Hospital.
Now I have a practice in the center of Madrid. I help clients heal and grow, develop good microhabits, and create strategies to impact the world. Beauty can rise out of ashes.
