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 am a bestselling author on Amazon and manifestation coach. I believe anything is possible and everything is transformable! Over the last 25 years I have worn many hats including being a Contemplative Psychotherapist, University Professor, Midwife, and Momma of 7. I trained in the ancient Hawaiian Mindfulness practice of Ho’oponopono over 15 years ago, when my family and I lived on the island of Kauai. It was required training for Psychotherapists. Ultimately, I inspired people to unleash their own unique Mojo; thus achieving their personal, professional, and financial goals. I live with my family in Scottsdale, Arizona where the owls hoot, the coyotes howl, and the sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking each and every day.

My Practice
Just like you, I have my practices. This allows me to serve my coaching 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 coaching services.
