Working with Donna transformed my life. She guided me through one of the most turbulent, difficult decisions I've ever made—a decision that put me on a track to living a life that now feels authentic and alive. Working with her I've noticed that the lingering struggles I had with food have left me almost completely. I feel a freedom and strength that I have never before felt as a woman.

She is a deep listener. She connects all the dots. She’s not afraid to tell you the hard truths, because she knows your strengths. And: she understands how your relationship with food is a greater analogy for your relationship with life itself. If you struggle with food, someone like Donna is essential for your healing.

Donna sees me as a full human. I feel she is genuinely invested in helping me become an empowered woman, a woman who is strong enough to ask for what she wants, and a woman who deserves everything. —J.P., Oregon

My experience with Donna has been life changing. I am no longer stuck in the perpetual dieting cycle and have stopped villanizing food. Donna helped me gain an awareness of my eating patterns including emotional eating. Each and every session with Donna brings me new and helpful insight which has greatly improved my life. I could not have done this work on my own. —Lisa K., No. Cal

I entered this year mentally drained and significant weight gain. I didn’t want another New Year’s resolution or diet—I wanted something real, something that would last. I found the Intuitive Eating book and it really spoke to my heart. I went online to find an IE coach and picked Donna out of a list of over 100 coaches. Her values and methods stood out to me and after our first call I knew she was the right person to help guide me through the beginning of this journey.

I worked with Donna for five months and it was truly transformative, I uncovered traumas and mental blocks that held me back from food freedom and peace with my body. I found the courage to draw boundaries with toxic people in my life. I released a new passion for true self love and care that inspired me to move my body for strength instead of calories burned. I embodied the idea that food is for pleasure and nourishment, not for punishment or shame.

I am very grateful for Donna’s wisdom, insight, patience, and ability to bring out “ah hah” moments. She always takes the time to really digest what you are saying and responds thoughtfully. She asks the right questions to get to the heart of your mental blocks. She makes you feel heard and seen.

I would recommend Donna if you are ready for change, if you want to understand why you self sabotage, and if you want freedom from an endless cycle of crash dieting. — D.S., California

What an absolute godsend it has been working with Donna. It has been said, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear,” and Donna is one of the few people I’ve worked with in my life who have shown up and helped take me to a new level of clarity, insight, understanding, and freedom. Every session with Donna has been filled with her trademark sincerity, pearls of wisdom, and nonjudgmental acceptance of wherever I was with the transformational work that is intuitive eating. My work with Donna has allowed me to understand the value of truly accepting myself where I am, not because I should settle for less than I aspire to do, be, or have, but because it is the willingness to surrender that allows for metamorphic shifts to occur. Donna has been akin to an intuitive eating shaman for me, and I am so thankful for her invaluable support on my journey. —Gen, CA

Do you need a coach to assist you in the intuitive eating process? Maybe not. Do you want a coach, and specifically Donna, to assist you? Absolutely, yes.

While I was able to make some progress on my own by reading books and articles on intuitive eating, it wasn't until I started working with Donna that I felt real hope for lasting change. Donna's gentle, probing questions along with her "homework" have helped me see connections and patterns in my relationship with food I wasn't able to see on my own. Perhaps just as important, when I don't trust in myself or the IE process, I can fall back on Donna's experience coaching others and rely on her guidance and expertise. The lessons I am learning cannot be "unlearned." I am so grateful to have found Donna. I feel like I can exhale. —Meghan, CPA, Montana

I don’t know where my life would be today if I had never met Donna. I started seeing her for my food issues; I could not commit to lose weight or work out.

We got to some underlying issues about my childhood, but when we got to my marriage I closed up. Donna’s coaching woke me up to take an honest look at my life and take action that supported my well-being. As a result of this work I lost 30 pounds.

Today I’m in a loving and committed relationship, and I’ve managed to keep the weight off. I have Donna to thank. She’s amazing! —Jean, Realtor, Westchester County, NY

Working with Donna has been eye opening. Seeing myself more clearly along with my actions and the outcomes they provide. I find myself feeling more hopeful as well as more confident that I can make good choices or at least be aware I am making choices rather then just being a player in my play.

Donna’s warm and direct communication is comforting but not leading, she allows me to take the conversation where I need to with out an agenda, but what feels to me like a clearer idea of what is happening emotionally and physically in my world.

Having Donna beside me in this journey is life changing and I hope everyone takes the opportunity offered to them by working with her.  —Julie L., UX Designer, Philadelphia

Donna helped me clear away the unhelpful “debris” floating around in my mind. She was able to listen beyond my circular thinking, asking probing questions that led me to valuable insights. She provided me with tools to continue this process on my own. As a result, I gained the clarity and trust in myself to make important changes in my life. I now have a renewed sense of adventure, confidence and joy. —Susan, NYC

I could not have made it through a major career change without her coaching. I was stuck in a job I hated, wearing golden handcuffs, and paying college tuition bills with no end in sight. I had an inkling of what I really wanted to do but no roadmap. Donna’s intelligent insight helped me both create a roadmap and stay on course. I am forever grateful and finally love my job. —Amy, Financial Advisor, Morgan Stanley, NYC

Thank you so much, Donna for helping me understand my patterns and choices and learn new ways of eating and thinking about food. I am grateful for your kind, thoughtful feedback. Thank you for your unfailing confidence in my ability to navigate my life and for your gentle reminders to practice loving self care.

Thank you for your wise, inspirational, sometimes funny followup “thoughts during your morning walks.”   Thank you for helping me find CLARITY! —Anonymous, Southern California

Donna is a great coach! She has the ability to ask questions that go deep, that really get to the crux of the matter. I know that I am a better person, and a better coach, because of her coaching me. —Janette, Life Coach, Australia
