We are thrilled to have Donna join us for this series. Donna is the owner and head instructor of To The Core Pilates and Nutrition. Donna has a Diploma in Personal Training, from Mount Royal College, is fully certified as a STOTT Pilates Instructor, and is a Precision Nutrition certified Nutrition coach.

Her inspiration comes from her Dad, and his experiences going through chronic illness. His positive attitude and his unwillingness to quit formed a new perspective in terms of health and wellness and where our health system is currently failing us. With this experience came a new insight into health and wellness which included a huge shift from aesthetic fitness to whole body health and how movement impacts everything else in the body including mental and social considerations.

Donna is, self admittedly, a bit obsessed with learning new things and is constantly adding new knowledge. She is a Certified Neurokinetic Therapy or NKT practitioner and has just completed her Level 6 Myofascial Energetic Length Technique or MELT training as well as various Applied Movement Neurology Courses and is fascinated by how the brain controls movement and subconscious actions. Donna is always looking for new techniques and systems that can help her, help her clients move better and improve their quality of life.

When Donna isn’t working you can find her at the cabin which is where she takes the time to relax and unload and find her own balance in life.
