Donna creatively integrates clinical expertise, somatic wisdom, and heartfelt presence into her work as a therapist, yoga teacher, and retreat facilitator. A Speech Pathologist (M.S.) and Marriage and Family Therapist (M.A., LMFT), Donna has spent her career walking alongside people on their journeys toward healing and wholeness.
A natural teacher, Donna has led 200-hour yoga teacher trainings and served as an adjunct instructor in the Communication Sciences & Disorders department at Syracuse University. The founder and former owner of Glow Yoga & Juice Bar — home to a beloved yoga community — she ultimately sold it after nearly a decade to pursue her deepest calling: working alongside her daughter to guide people through healing through movement and inquiry. She is passionate about yoga, IFS, and building community.
Donna maintains a private practice as an Internal Family Systems (Level 1) therapist, has completed the IFS Healing Circles workshop with Chris Burris and the transformative course The Sacred Nervous System: A Relational Pathway for Self and IFS, and is currently in training to become a Certified Somatic IFS Practitioner. Her work weaves together the wisdom of IFS, the healing power of movement, and a deep reverence for the mind-body-spirit connection — creating space for participants to come home to themselves.

“Having never gone to a spa or retreat, I heard this is the place to go. The mountains, the hiking trails, the wildlife, and the vastness of the place set up the parameters for a happy and interesting week. Every staff person I encountered could not have been more welcoming. One new employee said all the supervisors treat each other and other employees as well as they treat their guests. Vegetarian food is fresh and excellent. Wait ’till you see the modern yet traditional spa! The main house and guest rooms are lovely. I came to learn yoga from outstanding teachers and to relax and get some care taking. Mission accomplished.”
