About Donna

I am passionate about wellness and feel everyone can achieve their best self through a healthy lifestyle involving improved food choices and activity. I have a background in exercise and am a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. Combining this with nutrition is where the magic happens! I have worked clinically at a diabetes management center and also in the community as a director of Health and Wellness in the YMCA. I am a positive and motivating person and would love nothing more than to be at your side to empower you to be proactive and successful in your own health outcomes.

Approach to care

I believe everyone needs to be an active participant in their own health. We will work together to set tangible goals. I will provide guidelines, education and motivation. We will take successes one at a time and build on them. Often there are set backs, and it is my job to be there and help you get past them and move forward. It is all in your attitude and belief that habits CAN change!

Your first session with Donna

In our first session I will first find out all about you: your health history including medications, current medical conditions, prior nutritional counseling and outcomes. We will find out what your goals are and set up a road map for success. You will receive educational material customized to your needs and we will decide best times for follow up for ongoing assessment, motivation and education.
