About Donna

Hello! A little bit about me: I am a full time mom of 3 energetic kids! I have lived a roller coaster with my health, my hormones, and walked with loved ones on really difficult mental health journeys. I am passionate about seeing people live in full freedom, the way we were created to live: a healthy body and a healthy mind.

Approach to care

I am a compassionate and huge cheerleader to see you at your FULL potential. I would love to partner with you to see your breakthrough, however big or small that may be. I like to find the root cause of the issue and go from there. Little lifestyle changes can make a huge impact and we can work together to begin your new journey.

Your first session with Donna

I want to get to know you. What are your strengths, what are some areas you find challenging, and what areas have you struggled with that seems like it has lasted "forever." I will ask you about your eating habits, your physical activity routines and what you do that gives you joy. We will come up with short terms goals for you to focus on and go from there!
