Donna Maltz

Donna Maltz was born and raised in the suburbs of New Jersey but after graduating from Evergreen State College in 1982, she found herself on a soul-searching journey of self-discovery to Alaska. Here she founded the first natural foods bakery and café in the state, which she successfully ran with her husband for 37 years. In this time, she also pioneered a variety of other successful and ethical eco-businesses including AH!LASKA, a company which produced the first organic hot cocoa mixes and chocolate syrup in the nation.

With an ongoing passion for all things natural and ethical, she loves to encourage others to live in a way that betters not only themselves but the planet. Donna now lives on the lush tropical island of Hawaii with her husband and a variety of beautiful plants and animals, yet refuses to retire because, in her own words, “Why retire when I can inspire?” She has a successful Life and Business coaching practice, and offers healing retreats at their beautiful upcountry farmstead.
