“I was very inactive and had little to no ambition to do much. My weight was 355 pounds. I had tried some "fad" diets in the past and after 1-2 weeks after no sudden results I would stop them. I had to make a change in my life or I would not be around too long."

"Donna has opened my eyes to a wellness world I never knew. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a healthier life."

"The best complement I think I can give Donna for helping me along this path is ---- I think she is more excited about me hitting my goals more than I am. Several times during our zoom chats she danced in her chair when I hit a goal or had a profound thought about the process. To be able to work with someone like that is incredible! I know Donna is a coach, but I wanted to meet my goals for me almost as much as I did for her.
I can simply say Thank You."

“Donna’s very easy to talk to and is an extremely effective listener; an honest and pleasant person to know and to work with.”

“Some of the things I most appreciate about Donna and her style is that she’s on-task about checking in and making sure I’m comfortable and ready to work. At every session, she reminds me all the agreements and processes we both agreed to the first time we met and doesn’t proceed further until we’ve agreed to them again. She asks me to bring my whole self to the session and to “play full out.”

“She’s a very attentive person and has a natural ability to make connections between our different sessions to make it all very natural and complete.”

“I really enjoy working with Donna and feel that her influence has led me to making better choices for myself. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to make simple yet effective changes in their life, body, and mind. One of Donna’s best gifts to me during our sessions was when she had me imagine myself at the weight I want to achieve. Seeing myself at 160 pounds, feeling less pain in my knees, keeping up with my partner, and just feeling more comfortable in my own body was a gift that I'll cling to until it actually occurs!"

“Donna is patient and attentive. Each session, she allowed me to verbally process; in doing this I was able to investigate my own inner knowing. When I was done with my (sometimes unorganized) brain dump, she would reflect back to me my own thoughts with such organized clarity. This action would restore my confidence in myself. She truly listens to understand.”

“I would definitely recommend Donna to anyone truly motivated to make a change or improvement in their life. She works with high achieving growth mindset people who are ready to do the work. She is dependable and so very educated. I will absolutely be continuing this container. Continuing to work with Donna as my coach is one way for me to ensure my health and business will thrive. I have nothing but love, respect and gratitude for Donna."

“In each session, Donna created a space in which I felt safe, heard, and understood. Her compassion and humor made it easy to open up and feel at ease, even when discussing potentially uncomfortable topics. The coaching sessions became a highlight of my week and have had lasting results—most notably the ability to separate myself from the anxiety I experience, having gained the understanding that it is something I perceive, but NOT who I am.

I would recommend Donna’s coaching to anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed and needs help to get moving in a better direction. If you have the desire to make healthy changes in your life, Donna will help show you the way!"

“I was apprehensive at first. I don’t particularly enjoy being honest about my heath or well-being, but Donna was incredibly accepting and open to whatever it was I felt like sharing. It got to the point where I was so comfortable during our sessions that I would tell her just about everything. I’ve been in therapy before, but this was different. It felt a lot more like talking to a friend who encouraged my progress to better health. She helped me look deeper into myself to figure out exactly what path I needed to take. She wouldn’t tell me how to live my life- she asked questions that helped me come to realizations as to what would work for me.”

“I would recommend her to anyone - whether you’re in similar shoes as I was, or an athlete that wants to push themselves more, or a busy parent that has a hard time prioritizing themselves. Whether you think you need it or not, nurse coaching with Donna will improve your life - point blank period."

“I was really struggling to stay consistent and applying a lot of the things I already knew about, but was having difficulty staying committed. I knew there were things I could do that would improve my overall success and needed a kickstart.

“My experience being coached by Donna was excellent. It is important to be 100% present. When she said I am here to guide you and you are the driver, it is absolutely true. By doing this, she allowed me to really come to my own realizations about where I really needed to focus my efforts in the pillars of health.”

"I appreciated how organized and grounded Donna was during our sessions together. She comes with a wealth of knowledge both in modern medicine and Lifestyle Medicine which gives her an edge and above all a huge knowledge base to help her clients. I felt safe, secure and trusted her ability to help guide me on my healing journey. You will not be disappointed in working with Donna. It will definitely be life changing."

"I really enjoyed working with Donna around applying mindfulness and meditation during our coaching sessions. Donna is so passionate about her life’s work and it was a great pleasure working with her. I loved witnessing the ways she creatively shows up and the way she is constantly open to learning and improving her skills in her practice. I really appreciate that she comes into a session fully prepared and ready to serve her clients in the best way she can. Donna sets a tone for an open and relaxing coaching session with her grounded energy."

“Before working with Donna, I was having trouble with sleep – falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking feeling rested. In addition, my struggles with career satisfaction for a few years affected my mood and sense of self-actualization. While I had a foundation for supporting my health, I lacked motivation in areas that I knew would improve my mood and other areas of well-being.

Through tools such as the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, Donna coached me through identifying the barriers to improving well-being and setting goals to overcome those barriers. Her calm and thoughtful approach inspired me to focus on actions I could take, such as establishing a bedtime routine, incorporating movement into my schedule, and practicing mindfulness to support my ideal of well-being. As a bonus, during each session, Donna led a brief meditation to create value and inspiration for our time together.

Through the process, I could focus on achieving balance, identifying priorities, and implementing new behaviors to support the needed changes. Donna helped me gain insight into how one or two areas of my life spilled over into other areas. I would recommend Donna to anyone that wants to grow and make fundamental changes to promote both personal and professional satisfaction.”

"Before our sessions together I was thinking about switching to being 100% WFPB and was dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety related to my teenage daughter. Our coaching sessions really helped me take a step back and evaluate how I was handling these situations. The sessions led me down another path with her that seems to be helping me cope with her behavior now. Also, the coaching sessions have showed me I’m more than capable of making the choices I want to in my life. You also helped by providing me tons of WFPB resources which truly helped in this change!

The benefits of our sessions together allowed me to make my own goals which helped me become more WFPB, reduce my stress levels, and has me motivated to do the things I want in my life. I’m not a morning person and the last 2 weeks I’ve been getting up at 5am to get my workouts in which is huge for me. I can do anything I set my mind too!

Overall, it was a great experience. You have a very calm and caring demeanor which really allowed me to open up to you about my life and struggles. You listened and gave me space which in the end led me to dive deep into my own feelings and thoughts. Thank you Donna for helping me discover this!"
