Donna Messinger

Assistant of ABM®NeuroMovement®

Donna began her ABMNM® Professional Training in 2009, graduating in 2011 and completing all of the Mastery Level programs in 2012.  Since 2011, Donna has worked in her private practice in the Greater Boston area.  She has continued to immerse herself in learning, expanding her skills via mentoring and returning to the ABMNM® Training to work as Support Staff in 2013. In 2016 she joined the ABMNM® Teaching Staff as an Assistant and continues to work closely with the ABMNM® programs. Her drive for emerging possibilities of a higher quality of life for her own child with complex special needs through ABMNM®  inspired her to become a practitioner.   

Donna has had the privilege of working closely with Dr. Martha Herbert.  Through teamwork, Donna offered lessons at Dr. Herbert's clinic working with children with a wide variety of complex needs and conditions, and continued collaboration with Dr. Herbert after her time working at her clinic.   Donna is passionate about everyone, including those with complex needs and challenges having access to the opportunities to gain resilience and expand learning with dignity, joy, and self- autonomy. Donna also has a special commitment to providing the optimal conditions for learning within our ABMNM® community. 

Prior to working as an ABMNM® Practitioner, Donna worked extensively advocating and supporting adults and children who were trauma survivors from a wide variety of backgrounds of domestic violence and sexual abuse utilizing a self-empowerment model.  She also enjoys creating games with and for children, dancing, drawing, and watercolor painting.​
