Center for Transformational Coaching

Donna, a Registered Nurse in the state of WI, USA, holds safe and confidential space for inspiring humans to reconnect with their inner wisdom, rediscover peace, and create vibrant lives rooted in self-care. Many are drawn to her personal journey of transformation, and through working with Donna, they begin putting themselves first—often for the very first time. What often begins as a desire for weight loss and/or health improvement becomes a path to deeper energy, clarity, and purpose. It’s about so much more than goals—it’s about coming home to your true self and creating the life of your dreams.

Donna has educated thousands of patients and families in a hospital cardiology setting – lovingly supporting people facing some of their most challenging moments.

“…There is no doubt that she pours her heart and soul into her work. Almost every session, I would already have an entire agenda in my head of all that I wanted to review with her. I would be overwhelmed by all that I wanted to discuss, dismantle and achieve. She would remind me of previous statements I had made when I was in a more empowered state. I always walked away from our sessions relieved and rejuvenated. She has a gift for helping her clients recenter…”

“…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…”
~Heidi F.

“…I am a board-certified health and wellness coach and will also just say that sometimes even coaches need a coach, and Donna is able to skillfully provide that level of expertise. It was such a pleasure to work with Donna and I know I will continue to benefit from our powerful time together for many years to come!...”
