In Hawaiian 🌺 lore, animal guardian spirits known as an AUMAKUA are a cross between an Ancestor or guardian Angel and an animal totem.

My AUMAKUA is an owl who is my mother, who made her transition across the rainbow bridge a few years ago. She shows up to communicate, help guide and inspire me often. I receive almost daily visits these days at dawn.

Before my mom passed she let me know she would come to me as an owl. And she’s kept her promise. So I had @oliviabuerkidesign create this mojo illustration for me to honor her at this full moon in Libra.

What’s your AUMAKUA?

Hi! I’m Dona

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t believe in magic and miracles, or what I call “Mojo”.

I’ve always walked between worlds…

As a Mystic Psychotherapist, I blend psychotherapy with spiritual wisdom and practices.

My graduate degree is in Contemplative Psychotherapy, and I am trained and certified in EMDR, DBT, and Somatic Therapy.

I am also an astrologer, tarot reader, and lifelong student of Carl Jung, who was all about signs, synchronicity, and serendipity. I live my life through the lens of EVERYDAY MAGIC, and you can too!

My sessions don’t just sit in the mind…they reach far into the soul.

I believe that healing is a spiral. And by working through your wounds, using your natal chart as our guide, you can release old patterns and remember who you came here to be.

As an astrologer, I use the birth chart as a roadmap to your soul’s unique blueprint—revealing emotional patterns, timing for transformation, and keys to your purpose.

I’ve helped hundreds of people unlock what’s been stuck and find their way back to themselves.

Now it’s your turn!

Signs, serendipities & synchronicities

My Practice

Just like you, I have my practices. This allows me to serve my clients, be there for myself and my family and pursue my writing.

My daily practice involves setting goals with intention and honoring my energy cycles. For me that means:

  • Intuition - meditation + tarot + journaling in my Wayfinder journal

  • Noting the energy of the day and honoring the cycle of the moon

  • Manifesting the vision of my future by writing in my Wayfinder journal

I help my clients awaken their mojo using these same practices, along with mindfulness and intuitive psychotherapy, through my books and psychotherapy/coaching services.

  • "I have known Dona for about 16 years. She has helped support me in my evolution. My communication skills with my partner, friends and family have improved."

    J. Bishop, Medical Herbalist

  • "I love working with Dona. Her intuition is uncanny and almost unnerving how accurate."

    Suzanne

  • "Making the decision to reach out and work with Dona has been the best, smartest thing I have ever done for myself. I am just sorry that I waited so long to do it. I feel absolutely transformed inside and out. Through her wisdom, intuition, and amazing tools, she has helped me bloom in so many ways and begin to create a magical life for myself. I have never felt so seen and supported and I am forever grateful for her caring and inspiration. "

    Katie

  • "I’ve really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Dona. She has a very centered, calming, and encouraging quality about her that helps you look at yourself in a more neutral way. I was able to uncover and silence my own inner critic, and focus on my best self with so much “noise” from having kids, relationships, and jobs; it’s nice to have a cheerleader on your side to give you permission to let go of all of the “should’s” and go after your dreams. "

    Amy

  • "I know I've said it but I don't think I'll ever be able to express enough how thankful I am for I am so proud of myself for how freakin far I've come over the last couple of years of working with you! I am literally a different person, in the best way possible! And I love continuing to heal nad learn and grow with empowering people you're referred me to check out, like Anita Morjani and Joe Dispenza! Seriously! Thank you! You are such a gift."

    Jenni

  • Working with Dona has truly changed my life. I have been able to clear and work though traumas in a way that feels nurturning and incredibly healing. She creates a safe space where both the body and mind can feel safe to relase what needs to be released.
