• Do you find it hard to be present with your kids because your body hurts or doesn't do what you need it to?


    Suffering and gritting your teeth just trying to get through your day?

     

    Dreading having to bend over and lift your child out of the car seat?


    Tired of hearing that all you need to do is kegels?

     

    Peeing your pants every time you sneeze?

     

  • I want to transform your life.

  • "I’m physically stronger and more aware of my breath, movements, and body and how they work in concert. I’m less concerned about getting big results quickly through struggle, discomfort and pushing myself. I have a deeper appreciation for taking thing one controlled, comfortable step at a time."

  • Benefits of working with Donyne

    Leave guilt at the door

    Doing the work makes a difference to getting results but feeling guilty doesn't. I work with you to problem solve, celebrate what you do and the wins you have, and grow a curious and gentle relationship with yourself and your body

    No rushing to appointments

    I come to where you are in the Comox Valley or we meet online. No need to deal with traffic or parking. No need to leave the house at a certain time. Don't worry, I won't judge you by the state of your home or your personal hygiene, I know what it is like being a mom. How you are is good enough. Many of my clients meet me in their pyjamas.

    No child care, no problem

    It's up to you. If you want some non child time, by all means, but we can work while your children are playing nearby. As we continue into movement strategies and exercises your child can actually help us.

    Connected in to the life you live

    I work with you inside your day to day life. I work with the tools and environment you have available and because our movement work happens where you life happens, it's easier to remember to do it.  

     

    Often it is regular daily habits that keep us from healing, I am always on the lookout for the habits that are getting in the way. When I find them I am excited because shifting them opens up the possibility for your body to heal.

  • I have the tools, experience and process to help you heal and get strong after giving birth.

    I'm told I need an operation, can you still help me?

    It depends completely on your diagnosis.

     

    For some things, yes, and you may not need that operation.

     

    For other things I can improve your condition and help you recover from the operation but the operation will still be necessary.

     

    If you haven't already, get assessed by a women's health physiotherapist to start and then...

    Are you really expensive?

    I don't think so.

     

    But no matter your budget there is a way that you can get my help.

     

    For starters sign up for my free Whole Body Whole Heart email course. That is a great way and free way to get going.

     

    My Mothership course is really affordable and on a pay from the heart pricing so most people can manage that.

     

    Personal coaching is more expensive but you could start with a troubleshooting package before you jump into a longer term coaching arrangement.

     

    I want most people to have access in some way. Which way will work best for you right now?
