Makiko Donville

I was born and raised in the South Bay where I took my first ballet class as a 3 year old. I continued to train vigorously in ballet until I was 14 years old when I transitioned into hip hop dance. Throughout high school, I was a competitive hip hop dancer and still continued to participate in other styles of dance. During my years of dancing, I frequently turned to physical therapy and training for ankle, hip, and back pain.

With being surrounded by the arts since I was born and my own desire to understand and help others succeed, I found myself drawn to psychology in college. With a deeper understanding of the role of mental health and wellness, I became determined to support and help others reach their goals and utilize my artistic skills in the process.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychological Science from the University of California, Irvine as well as my minor in Digital Arts. I spent my last two years in college applying my knowledge to rebuild a media organization on campus and mentor interns in appreciating the importance of mental health and wellness in all aspects of their work.

I am thrilled to be a part of The Movement Schopp team, where I will be able to help support the community in receiving personalized, quality care for their bodies!
