Empowering Leadership & Communication for Individuals, Athletes, Coaches, and Business Leaders
Who Am I?
I’m Gail Donohue- an Olympic-level coach turned neuroscience practitioner.
For nearly 40 years, I’ve supported athletes, leaders, and curious humans to develop greater emotional awareness, grounded communication, and sustainable transformation, from the inside out.
My career began in the high-performance sport world, where I worked with coaches and athletes to support meaningful leadership and relational growth.
What I learned there is that real leadership starts with how we treat ourselves.
My Story
In 2008, my personal curiosity pulled me into the study of interpersonal neurobiology, neuroscience, and nonviolent communication. I was drawn to the powerful role our nervous systems play in shaping our relationships, our ability to regulate under pressure, and the stories we unconsciously live by. I’ve spent the years since studying how humans adapt, connect, grow, and heal.
Now, I help people become more aware of the ways their nervous systems keep them safe, often sometimes by holding them back. Together, we gently untangle what’s been wired by survival so we can build something rooted in safety, compassion, and confidence.
Why work with me?
My coaching is a blend of intuition and evidence. Clients often tell me they feel both deeply seen and practically supported. I bring science-backed tools like resonant language, unconscious contract work, time travel integration, empathy, and family constellation work into a safe, attuned coaching space.
I’m certified as a Resonant Healing Practitioner and have trained in depth with Sarah Peyton in Resonant Language and Interpersonal Neurobiology. I’m also a certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and have completed extensive NVC training.
Additionally, I’ve completed Life Coaching training with the Co-Active Training Institute and hold certification as a Professional Coach with the Coaching Association of Canada. My background also includes training in Natural Success Mastery.
My Mission
To help people identify the unconscious safety-based patterns they live in and create new ways of being grounded in self-trust, clarity, and emotional resilience.
What I Offer?
I offer you practical, neuroscience‑informed skills to build a kinder brain, so you can live with greater self‑empowerment, navigate the bumpy road of human relationships, and shift into conscious, connected leadership. Through nervous‑system regulation techniques and trauma‑aware communication tools, I’ll guide you in breaking free from survival‑based patterns and stepping confidently into new ways of being, with yourself and those you lead.
