  • "All her years of ongoing specialized training and education in dance, pilates and body strengthening and recovery proved to be indispensable to my recovery. Donna has knowledge of anatomy, physiology and function of the musculoskeletal system that is unparalleled. When I started with her I could not bear weight on my left leg without support from something else, I walked with a limp and could not run. In fact I was told I would never run again. Fast forward to the last few years of my life where I have a normal gait, I can weight bear fully unassisted on my repaired leg, and I can run when I need to!"

  • I came to Donna with compression fractures in my back and neck as a result of an accident. I was in constant pain and my movements were limited. Thanks to her, my pain has substantially decreased. I now maintain my flexibility and have strengthened my core to relieve the back pain. Donna uses a variety of techniques and she challenges me in every class – there is no chance of boredom. She is simply amazing because of her extensive knowledge base and vast experience. She is diligent, determined and conscientious and loves what she does. Working with Donna has allowed me to live my life without constant pain. I no longer need other medical treatments that were less effective and were time consuming. Anyone who trains with Donna is indeed lucky both physically and mentally as she makes one a better person."

  • “I was in my second trimester when I started seeing Donna for private classes. I had been having a hard time staying mobile, pain free and as active as I would like. Donna took the time to do a full assessment, got to know how my body moved and asked me what my goals were so she could better assist me in attaining them. I was blown away with the results, that after my first session I was hooked and knew that this was finally the route that was going to help me. Her incredible attention to detail, knowledge and patience with a newbie really impressed me. I highly recommend seeing Donna! You will not regret it!”

  • "It's our daughter's 3rd summer intensive and we love it! Wish it was located closer to us but we come cause it's an opportunity to learn GFT which we can't get anywhere. The kids get to learn other teacher's choreography and it gives our child a place to grow away from their studios and feel a bit less pressure. The teachers are awesome!"
