Dr. D Living
Transformation from the inside out
About Donna Leverone, PharmD
I believe transformation is possible for everyone.
Hi, I’m Donna. I’m a clinical pharmacist by training, a retreat leader and educator by passion, and a curious student of wellness and spirit for life.
I created Dr. D Living to help people shift from just surviving to fully thriving. My own healing journey—which includes recovery from addiction—has shown me that real transformation happens when we learn to face ourselves honestly, love ourselves fiercely, and commit to practices that raise our vibration.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. I believe in the power of food as medicine, movement as therapy, and community as medicine. I believe in asking better questions, listening to our bodies, and honoring our wholeness—physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.
I’ve spent decades in traditional medicine, teaching and working in clinical settings, and just as many years unlearning what doesn’t serve and diving deep into functional, somatic, and spiritual approaches to well-being. What I teach now is grounded in science and infused with soul. My work is trauma-aware, heart-forward, and rooted in service.
If you think you can benefit from my approach, I look forward to seeing you at my Raise Your Vibration retreat, a future workshop, or virtually for one-on-one coaching.
I’m here to meet you where you are—with zero judgment and total belief in your capacity to change.
My Clinical Training
Western medicine meets Eastern Wisdom.
I received my Doctorate of Clinical Pharmacy from the University of Florida. I then completed a two-year academic, clinical, and research-based fellowship in cardiology (anticoagulation and cardiac risk reduction) and ambulatory care (primary care).
In my first career path I was a professor at Temple University for the College of Pharmacy, in addition to lecturing for the schools of medicine, nursing, and physician assistant.
I managed a primary care clinic where I treated a myriad of chronic illnesses. I then transitioned to be a medical science liaison in the pharmaceutical industry. I have specialized in cardiology, respiratory, immunology, and rheumatology.
I chose to become an expert in the epitome of Western Medicine – pharmaceuticals – because I believe if I want to help change something, I must be the expert in what needs changing.
I believe medications have an important role in healthcare, but they should not be the whole answer.
In addition to my pharmaceutical expertise, I am certified in Mind-Body Medicine and Food as Medicine, with additional training in Eastern and Functional Medicine.
My passion is helping you explore all available healing modalities and discover which ones work for you!
My Approach
I believe in meeting you exactly where you are – Without judgement.
I bring practical tools, and the understanding that real change happens when we address the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic illness, trying to break free from patterns that no longer serve you, or simply wanting to feel more alive in your body, my role is to hold space for your healing while giving you the tools to become your own best healer.
Because here’s what I know for sure: you already have everything you need within you. Sometimes you just need someone to remind you of that truth and show you how to access it.
Ready to start living? Let’s do this together.
