Donna Perrone
Owner of Gravity East Village, Certified Colonic Therapist, Quantum Reflex Analysis Practitioner, and Bionetic Counselor
AKA: Detox Diva Donna
Donna’s holistic health journey began in 1989 when seeking her recovery from a chronic disease called Candida. Also, she suffered from constipation, acne, PMS, an inability to gain weight, panic attacks, and indigestion. She made a transition to a mostly live / raw food vegan diet, and made better lifestyle choices which improved her health dramatically.
“After several years of eating primarily raw food without the use of colonics, my energy and health diminished. In 1997, I discovered that colon hydro-therapy was the missing link to proper cleansing and detoxification. Having witnessed so many healings over the years with diet changes, cleansing methods and colonics, I am naturally drawn and inspired to do this work for a living”.
“My mission is to provide a forum for people to discover and achieve optimal health and well-being. Through my work and by facilitating workshops I can help to support, provide information and create a community of health conscious people”.
Accent on Wellness began in 1995 in NYC. As a volunteer, Donna organizes, hosts guest speakers and is a group facilitator for this healthy lifestyle transition group. The aim of AOW is to offer support, share information, & create a community. The emphasis is to increase the amount of raw food in ones diet, to cleanse and nourish the body properly, and to understand all the tenants needed for a healthy life. Donna teaches workshops such as: Healthy Lifestyle/Transition, Candida Recovery, Juice Fasting/Blended Food Cleanse, Gallbladder Flush Group, Heavy Metal Detox and more. AOW hosts special Guest Speakers.
Donna has taught workshop classes at many venues such as Accent on Wellness, LIVE LIVE & Organic, N.A.V.E.L. Expo, NYC, The New Life Expo-NY, Integral Yoga Institute, Kris Carr / Urban Zen, Veggie Pride Parade, NYC, Transformation with Amy Rachelle, Main Street Vegan with Victoria Moran, Elegantly Raw on the Jane Unchained Network, The Raw Spirit Festival, Sedona, AZ, and the Jungle Cafe.
