Meet Dr. Donna Pontoriero

Her background and experience

Dr. Donna Pontoriero is a chiropractor, practice owner, educator, and program developer with nearly 30 years of experience in healthcare.

She has worked with thousands of women navigating challenges involving weight, health, habits, confidence, and the changes that often occur during midlife. Her perspective is also personal. After struggling with her own weight, Dr. Donna lost more than 120 pounds through nutrition and exercise.

She also understands the realities of building and running a successful health and wellness practice. She has developed programs and protocols, trained teams and health coaches, strengthened consultation systems, and built a practice model focused on better client communication, commitment, and outcomes.

The Dr. Donna Institute brings those experiences together through education for women and professional training for the people who serve them.
