WellAcademic LITERALLY changed my life

"Through WellAcademic's retreat and coaching, I've learned to set and hold boundaries, better manage my workload, and create a path to mental, physical, and spiritual wholeness. I am so grateful for these experiences as they have kept me from falling off the metaphorical work cliff."

Associate Professor, University of Minnesota

Hi! I'm Roxanne Donovan, PhD.

Psychologist. Full Professor. Certified Yoga Teacher. 

I've been practicing and writing in the areas of wellness and social justice for 20+ years.

And I know from experience that joy, connection, and sustainable progress are possible in the academy, even in the face of systemic and institutional forces. 

Sharing this knowledge is why I started WellAcademic and why I'm glad you stopped by. 

So, take a look around at all the goodness we offer.
