About the Founder! 
Monica is the creator of Donna Bella. She is a wonderful, bubbly soul who you instantly feel close to and adore the first minute you meet her. She is beautiful in mind, body and spirit and has the warmth that everyone cherishes. She is the embodiment of the classy woman, without being a bit pretentious. Monica is a wonderful step-mother and grandmother, friend, godmother, daughter and sister. 
  
After going through a divorce, at 40 years old, she decided to make some life changing decisions.  I must say she was feeling a bit low and her self esteem was definitely not where it should have been.  I encouraged her to step out of the box, so that she may learn to see herself as the beautiful woman that the rest of us see. I am happy to report she has come a long way in her journey of “Finding Monica”.  
  
If you ask her, she will tell you that she would have never imagined herself starting up a Dance  & Fitness studio. She will also be the first to tell you that she has two left feet &, no rhythm. She had never even stepped foot into a dance studio, until the summer of 2006. So why would a woman with no background in dance open such a studio? Here is why:
  
Even though Monica’s innermost desire has always been to become fit in mind, body and soul, she has been so busy taking care and providing for others, she has never had the chance to focus on this goal. After 18 years of working in the law enforcement /investigations arena, helping raise her three awesome step children, she was feeling a bit washed up, worn out, stressed out and simply exhausted! 
  
A while back, Monica saw an advertisement for pole dancing. She thought it would be fun, but had no idea of the fitness benefits it would provide her. As outgoing as she is, it still took her nearly one year to get up the courage to take a lesson! She left the classes feeling a bit sexier, a lot more energetic, empowered and began to find her inner beauty and sensuality again. She could not stop talking about it!   Just as Monica started to “get it” the studio closed its doors for unknown reasons. Monica’s immediate thought was that she needed to provide a sanctuary for woman (well,   ok….she also wanted to continue to be a student!) to join her in her journey and begin their own journey for increased self esteem, self confidence, self empowerment, while feeling sexier than ever and reaping the fitness benefits at the same time!
