Behind the Practice

Healing Empowerment for Every Body Since 2010

We know that life can be full of frustrating reproductive health challenges.

It’s like when you’re hoping to alleviate menstrual cycle pain, or discomfort and fear around pregnancy, but you’re told that these things are “normal” and can’t be fixed.

Or maybe you’re dealing with infertility and wanting to naturally conceive, but doctors give you few explanations, and even fewer treatment options?

These are times when having the right healing partner on your side can make all the difference for both your present and your future.

That’s why we give you both solutions and a lifetime of reproductive health empowerment that can ripple for generations to come. As a multi-certified fertility educator, holistic reproductive health practitioner, massage therapist, and former doula, Donna Zubrod provides inclusive healing empowerment to you at all cycles of your life – encompassing issues of infertility, pain, discomfort, and uncertainty before, during, and after pregnancy.

Celebrating every body, we help any individual with female anatomy and their support partners through Donna’s integrated approach to body empowerment through self-knowledge.

This big picture, powerful process can encompass quality, in-depth reproductive health education, self-care techniques, massage therapy (including fertility enhancing massage), and non-religious fertility awareness methods (You Can Do It! Cycle Tracking). Donna serves clients both online and safely in-person in the NC Triangle, via private massage and bodywork, reproductive health education sessions, and unique, hands-on workshops. Her work is powered by multiple innovative modalities, including the maya abdominal techniques of Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN.

Since 2010, Donna has guided more than 1,000 clients to happier, healthier, and more empowered lives.

From treating painful periods, to birth recovery and C-section scar healing, and even to natural conception when all hope had seemed lost, she’s here to be your holistic partner for wherever you are in your reproductive health journey.

Contact Donna today, so you can stop discomfort and lacking answers about your body, and start feeling confident about your reproductive health – ready to conceive or avoid pregnancy naturally, have a more pain-free period or pregnancy, and alleviate the important concerns that too many have told you are impossible to fix.

Because at Seven Generations, we believe the answers and pathways are there. And you deserve a non-judgmental partner who’ll listen to your needs to help you find them. So, if you’re ready for more healing empowerment, Donna is here for you.

Let’s find your way together.

“My partner and I both felt empowered to engage in my healing.

We’ve experienced incredible results that we never anticipated. I have experienced a lessening of period pain. I have also had a total relief of pains and discomforts in our sexual life that I had come to think were normal. This relief has completely changed the experience for me and I am deeply grateful.

Your work is powerful and important. Thank you.”

Your Holistic Healing Partner

“In all of our deliberations, we must be mindful of the impact of our decisions on the seven generations to follow ours.”

I encountered this quote while on an education mission in Montana.

It’s from the Great Law of the Six Nation Iroquois Confederacy, and these words are engraved on a plaque commemorating a sculpture inspired by the saying. Both the art and these words remind us to think about our own paths, and the role that choice always plays in them (as it has for our ancestors before us).

For me, embracing a “seven generations” mindset is the heart of what I do.

As a healing partner, I’m here to meet you where you are in life, at whatever stage that may be. And I want to help in ways that will empower your present, and also your future, and the future of the generations that will follow you.

That’s why I founded Seven Generations Reproductive Wellness in 2010: to give you the education, bodywork, awareness, and support to help you feel empowered to change your future and the futures you’ve yet to create. I’m committed to being your non-judgmental, inclusive guide because I know firsthand how it feels when modern medicine doesn’t listen or provide the pathways you’re looking for. It’s why I stopped studying to become a doctor in college, and pursued a corporate career for many years. And it’s also why I sought something better and something greater than the mainstream had to offer when I went through pregnancy myself.

Through my own birth trauma and health challenges, I’ve experienced how disheartening it can be to lack the tools and ability to make informed choices.

I’ve also been lucky to discover alternative wellness partners and bolder reproductive health education options. In that, I’ve seen what an enormous impact these new, integrated ways of thinking can make in my life and in the lives of others. In my own work, I’ve trained with leading skilled innovators like Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN. I was so inspired by personal and client healing with Dr. Arvigo’s abdominal therapies that I stepped up as co-founder of the Abdominal Therapy Collective. I’m a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner after learning from the founder, Gail Tully.

Passionate about fertility awareness and body literacy, I’m a fully accredited Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner (HRHP) through my post-graduate studies with Justisse International.

I’ve been certified in healing bodywork, non-religious fertility awareness methods, and more. And now, all of these things have allowed me to give you those valuable tools and a rich listening experience.

This is what I’ve been doing for more than ten years – using my deep experience to guide more than 1,000 clients to happier, more embodied lives. Along the way, I’ve done all I can to give back to my clients and students through providing scholarships to BIPOC individuals, fee assistance, and supporting programs that keep traditional healing alive (in places such as Central America).

In having taught these resources to thousands throughout my career, there’s one thing I can tell you for sure.

No matter what you’re facing, and no matter what answers you’ve been given (or are lacking), your journey is so much more valuable than other providers may have treated it. Because while no one can guarantee outcomes like natural conception, or total pain relief from birth recovery or your period – your journey with them matters greatly. The steps you take next – how you choose to put one foot in front of the other – will make a difference – for your life, and the seven generations that follow you.

So don’t feel like you have to take those steps alone anymore. Let me join you for the journey.

I’ll gladly meet you where you are.

“Donna has brought awareness to where I hold tension in my body during times of stress. She has shown me how I can manage that stress during labor and for the rest of my life.

I have a clearer understanding and awareness of my body. I know why and where my body is holding tension and what I can do to relax rather than leaving it up to trial and error.

Prenatal massage with Donna is one of the best decisions I have made and well worth every penny.”
