Determined to become an advocate for mental health, Donna S. Conley developed an integrated approach to teach people to discover who they are, what they want, and how to love and accept themselves so they can live their best lives.

She began a career as a life coach, blogger, podcaster, and wrote Wild Moon Healing while working full-time in corporate America. Donna is working toward her goal of transitioning to a full-time career to help remove the stigma of mental health and normalize loving, committing, believing, and respecting yourself.

Donna has had a successful career in the human resources field for over twenty years. She earned a Master’s degree in her field from UMUC and is currently attending Duke’s DHWCT certification program. Human Resources is the business of people, and Donna has professionally helped, supported, and touched the lives of many people during her career.

She was born and raised in Riva, Maryland, but has always considered Reedy, West Virginia, her home. That is where her mind wanders when she thinks about growing up and the summers she spent at her Nan Nan’s. Donna is the proud mother of a United States Marine. If you can’t find her, she’s most likely in the woods discovering a new trail to hike or simply admiring the moon. 

From a total wellness perspective and addressing people as a whole, she believes strongly in the spiritual aspects of health in addition to physical and mental health. She deeply believes everyone has their own inner magic and can use it to create their best life and inspire others. Wild Moon Healing is Donna’s first published work.
