Meet LaDonna
The Community We Serve
Blessings. My name is LaDonna Funderburke, Certified Meditation and Wellness Facilitator, Cultural Healer, and Founder of Breathe Deep Within. For over 20 years, meditation and breathwork have been a part of my daily practice.
In my sessions, I help people slow down and reconnect, whether that's in the workplace, diverse spaces, non-profit organizations, leadership teams, K-12 classrooms, and women’s groups.
I teach simple, accessible mindfulness—so you don’t have to overthink how to breathe and relax. These practices can enhance your well-being and introduce a new way of living that can support balance and presence.
My holistic approach is warm and welcoming. With space for real community healing, where individuals feel comfortable meditating and allowing them to release tension and fully embrace the present moment.
As an artist, I find deep joy in working with children, guiding them to use meditation as a tool for relaxation and creative expression. My goal is to help them enjoy the process of creating art while embracing their natural artistic instincts.
At the heart of my mission is a commitment to bringing alternative healthcare and wellness to diverse and underserved communities, particularly BIPOC communities in need of deep inner healing, recovery, and peace.
Breathe Deep Within is dedicated to cultivating harmonious, healthy communities with a shared purpose of achieving a vibrant life.
Here, all individuals, regardless of background, are welcomed, supported, and truly valued.

Breathe Deep Within: A Community Rooted in Healing
Founded in 2018, Breathe Deep Within was created to bring alternative healthcare to diverse communities. We ensure that people of all cultures have easy access to wellness in a supportive and loving environment.
Everyone deserves a life of health and happiness, enriched by the benefits of daily mindfulness practice.
Our group classes welcome people of all ages and backgrounds, united by a shared purpose:
-To breathe with intention
-To deepen their connection to their inner self
-To release limiting beliefs
-To move forward with clarity and renewed spirit
Through mindfulness, we learn to embrace our paths with patience and understanding. Healing is not just an individual journey—it is a collective experience. When one person commits to healing, they inspire the group to heal. At Breathe Deep Within, we focus on community healing both individually and collectively, with love, respect, and support.
Community is unity. CommUnity.
Mental health is essential. Amid rising stress and uncertainty, prioritizing well-being is critical. It’s time to come together as a collective to build a community that uplifts, supports, and inspires us to nurture health in all forms.
Enrich your life with daily breathwork, meditation, and sound healing. Not just to survive—but to THRIVE!
Join our vibrant community of meditators today. Together, we can build a healthier, more connected world—one breath at a time.
