Meet Donna - The Heart Behind PrimalSoul Movement
Welcome to PrimalSoul Movement, a sanctuary where ancient wisdom meets modern healing for soul-deep transformation. I’m Donna, movement alchemist, embodiment guide, and the creator behind this unique approach to embodied wellness.
My Journey
My path to creating PrimalSoul Movement began with my lifelong love of movement. After two decades in the dance world I discovered yoga. It didn’t take long to realize this ancient modality wasn’t just another way to move. It was a portal to profound transformation. Since completing my first 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2015, I’ve evolved beyond traditional yoga to craft a unique medicine that weaves together movement wisdom and transformative coaching.
During the years spent raising my children, I experienced firsthand how life’s demands can disconnect us from our bodies and feminine essence. Between the lack of sleep, caring for others, physical changes, and less time for dance and yoga, I found myself yearning to reclaim that deep connection.
This journey led me to a powerful discovery: the more conscious I became about my movement patterns, the less pain and more joy I experienced. This revelation became a cornerstone of PrimalSoul Movement: Our bodies hold not only our discomfort but also the keys to our healing.
Philosophy & Approach
At PrimalSoul Movement, we believe:
Your body holds deep wisdom. The demands of modern living can disconnect us from our natural movement patterns and intuitive knowing. Our approach helps you reclaim this innate wisdom.
Conscious movement is healing. When we move with awareness and intention, we create pathways for both physical healing and emotional expression.
Movement is medicine. The way we move affects not only our physical health but our emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, and spiritual connection.
Each journey is unique. We honor your individual path and provide a safe container for your unique exploration and expression.
Integration matters. We bridge movement experiences with daily life through therapeutic practices that help you embody insights and continue your healing journey beyond sessions.
