Our Team

Amanda Donald is the CEO of Mindful Courses, where she leads the vision, strategy, and growth of a continuing education platform designed to support mental health professionals and amplify transformative voices in the field.

Amanda is passionate about supporting those who do healing work and helping them expand their impact. Throughout her career, she has built connections, developed strategic partnerships, and guided mission-driven projects from idea to execution — bringing clarity and structure to complex initiatives.

Her professional path has taken her from fashion in Montreal to yoga and meditation studies in India, research and social policy work in Toronto, grassroots activism, podcasting, fundraising, and writing. She later served as Executive Assistant to Dr. Richard Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), at the IFS Institute, where she supported efforts to expand the reach and impact of IFS.

At Mindful Courses, Amanda brings together her experience across mental health, education, social impact, and entrepreneurship to elevate educators and create meaningful learning opportunities for clinicians. She believes that while life can be demanding, the right tools, communities, and perspectives can help us navigate it with greater compassion and connection.
