She assists those seeking to avoid Hip Replacement, shoulder surgery or injections through the natural healing power of yoga and movement therapies to restore lost range of motion, balanced strength and flexibility. Over time, chronic pain dissolves, lost mobility and flexibility return, along with functional strength. For those wishing to manage chronic low back pain and spinal disc herniations, Donna’s trains the body with movement patterns that stabilize and strengthen the spinal and core muscles so you feel safe again, resuming a full and active life.
Donna’s private Yoga Therapy sessions address the whole person and the root causes of chronic and persistent conditions in Spine, Hips and Shoulders. She uses somatic techniques from Moshe Feldenkrais, myofascial release and unwinding techniques, targeted postural stretching and yoga pose body-weight resistance to restore mobility and functional movement patterns. Donna also helps you address deeply-held psychoenergetic and emotional tension by healing stress patterns contributing to an upregulated nervous system. She uses yoga breath work (pranayama), Neurogenic tremoring, and Yoga Nidra (deep subconscious reprogramming and stress relief) with meditation to help you feel more like your true self again.

“The meditation is amazing and it’s keeping us very sane and balanced…” – Jodi and Mike
I wanted to let you know that the Yoga Nidra recording is beautiful and it really works! … my surgeon told for the first time that I may never regain full range of motion in my knee. Prior to this, the surgeon and PT would only keep repeating that they “expect [me] to make a full recovery.” … I was fairly agitated. But two things really helped: The recording allowed me to feel my emotions and let myself be angry and sad. And amazingly enough, once I let myself actually be with the emotions for a bit, they started to go away on their own just as the meditation states. Your Yoga Nidra session worked so amazingly well! Totally re-centered me. – Vanessa
