Donna Criscuolo
Donna Criscuolo, Owner of Blissworks and Director of Healing Arts.
A Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Yoga Teacher, Yoga Therapist and Reiki Master/Teacher, Donna joined Blissworks in 2006. She became partner in the business January 2008 and is currently growing the newly established Healing Arts department.
Donna graduated from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in 2006. She is currently enrolled in the 500 hour Svaroopa® Teacher certification program with Master Yoga Teaching Institute of Malvern, PA. Donna will complete her 500 hour certification as a Svaroopa® Yoga Teacher in October 2008. She is also working towards certification as a Yoga Therapist and has completed two courses giving her a strong foundation in working with people in pain and in need of rehabilitation from injury or illness. She is a member of the Board of Directors for Master Yoga Foundation, the Svaroopa® Association of Teachers (SATYA) and the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
Donnas’ journey into the Healing Arts has been one of both great loss and growth. She cared for both parents while in the final stages of terminal cancer. That experience led her to the realization that she was a care giver. She left her work as a Marketing Consultant to dedicate her life full time to serving others in their quest to achieve and maintain wellness. “The body’s natural ability to heal itself never ceases to amaze me. I see my role as a Yoga Teacher and Practitioner as one of guiding people back to wholeness and wellness through their own innate nature. It only takes the willingness to change.”

Donna believes yoga set her life on a new course. Prior to making the transition to Healing Arts Practitioner, she spent 15 years in marketing. Living with purpose and clarity of mind are just some of the benefits of inviting yoga into her life.
Besides yoga, Donna enjoys cooking, walking, reading, travel and hanging out with good friends.
