ABOUT ME


Hi, I'm Donna— a sound healer, yoga guide, and ocean soul on a lifelong journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.

For years, I carried the invisible weight of trauma, low self-esteem, and disconnection. My path wasn’t linear — it was full of waves, both literal and emotional. But somewhere between the stillness of a sound bath, the breath of a yoga pose, and the power of paddling out into the sea, I began to come home to myself.

Today, I hold space for others to do the same.

WHAT I OFFER


Sound Healing
Immerse in the vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other healing instruments — a practice that calms the mind, supports trauma release, and reconnects you to your inner stillness.

Yoga & Embodiment
My yoga sessions are slow, intuitive, and rooted in safety. Each class invites you to meet yourself with compassion and curiosity, exactly as you are.

Mindful Surfing
Surfing is my soul language. Whether you’re stepping onto a board for the first time or seeking a more embodied experience in the water, I guide sessions that are playful, healing, and empowering.

Frequently asked questions

There are no pre-requisites for our classes, and you are welcome—and encouraged—to explore any class you wish. However, we do offer some classes and series that are designed for people who are new to yoga, regardless of their fitness background.

No worries! If you are completely new to yoga, we have a lot of ongoing weekly classes that are perfect for beginners. They are also great for intermediate/advanced students who are interested in revisiting the basics or introducing a slower, gentler quality to their practice.

In general, we encourage our students to explore a wide range of classes and find out which ones best suit your needs and interests.

​You do not need to be flexible, fit or any particular way to start practicing yoga. Yoga can certainly help you get more flexible, stronger and less stressed out. People report experiencing a variety of benefits after practicing yoga; it supports every system in the body (muscular, skeletal, digestive, nervous…you name it!) and many practitioners notice changes after a single class. You may feel less stressed, more centered, and deeply grounded after a single hour of yoga, and with a long-term, regular practices, the benefits accrue exponentially. The practice builds strength, stability, flexibility, and stamina, and can prepare you for (or support you in) other active things that you do like for example, SURFING. Yoga also includes elements of mindfulness and breath awareness that work wonders in terms of relaxation and stress relief. It can provide you with tools to achieve more peace and well-being in every facet of your life.

Testimonials


"My partner recommended Donna’s practice since Donna has lots of surf experience as well. She took the time to understand my level and not speed me up through poses. I like her chill, unpretentious practice and positive vibe! Def will have more sessions. "

-- Kevin V

"Donna’s gentle yoga class has been the perfect way for me to unwind after a long day at work. I like the way she switches up her sequences and I always walk away from her classes learning something new. I’ve enjoyed her online, in person, and sunset yoga on the beach classes. I am excited to see what she offers next, Thanks Donna. "

-- Mary Ellen
