Bio - Donna Ritch

Donna Ritch
Ms. Donna Ritch, RN., EPC
Faculty Member
Whitby, ON

Donna is a Registered Nurse with more than thirty five years experience of bringing her special brand of care giving to each person and/or family in her independent practice. Donnas’ post graduate education has focused on health promotion and prevention with a focus on the older adult. Also an Elder Planning Counselor, Donna is a well versed speaker on the subject of wellness, aging and care giving.

She enjoys educating others across Canada on senior issues, healthy aging, chronic conditions, end of life planning and bereavement. Regardless of the topic, happy or sad Donna believes in using humour as a learning tool and as such speaks on the power of humour as well as making sure there is some humour in every presentation!

As President of Change of Season, Donna provides counseling, coaching on health related issues including pain management and provides therapeutic touch treatments as well as specialized medications delivered in the home. Years of experience with an aging population has led Donna to be an advocate for seniors on medical safety and advance planning for a health emergency as well as how to navigate the health care system when one has an aging parent whose needs have become more diverse.

As a volunteer instructor with Durham Region Warm Water Aquatic Program Donna finds meaning working with people experiencing chronic conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.

Donna tries to practice what she preaches by living a healthy life but believes wellness is a journey not a one stop destination!
