HEY THERE, I'M DONNAMARIE.
I know about overcoming anxieties, navigating challenge and change, reinventing yourself, doing what matters, embracing possibilities and potentials, and upping the adventure-fun factor in life. I’m an only child who moved around a lot with my zoologist dad and registered nurse mom. By the time I was 15, I had moved 8 times, attended six schools in two countries, suffered a childhood trauma, endured continuous insults because of my deformed body (wore a body cast for 3 years for scoliosis, while i had braces on my teeth). It’s no wonder my dream of being an Olympic figure skater was shattered.
On the flip side, being continually introduced to new people, places and things always had me expanding my genius zones and resilience. This process grew my curiosity into an intrinsic quest for adventure in work and play, live in 26 locations and move more times than that; while pursuing my love of wild places, sports, art, nature, self-awareness and spirituality.
Feeling on my game, using flow for everything I do, facing life threatening fears, and having the right mindsets at the right time—has allowed me to overcome adversities and expand my potentials. These top self mastery skills have connected me to amazing opportunities and extraordinary experiences—so I can live more of the wildly fulfilling life I desire—and help others do the same.

Working at a remote camp in grizzly country...carrying a shotgun and balancing on a log to cross a river from my tree house to work every day.
Surviving being a hostage by rebel forces in Guatemala with my 4 year old son—then sleeping in a tent at the foot of the rumbling Fuego volcano with the pop up war zone gunfire close by.
Curing myself of life threatening asthma to cats in 45 minutes, after suffering with that for 26 years.
Homeschooling my son in grade 1. He learned math with card games, leaf cutter ants, and a stop watch—and entered grade 2 with grade 4 math skills. Now he’s one of the youngest finance executives in his niche.
