My Purpose…

Hi, my name is Donna, I see people suffering and thinking its normal. I am here to help create empowered individuals who can make informed decisions.

I am 56 years old - yes, that’s right! I am a living example of my teachings. I suffered greatly as a child and young adult. This lead me to ask questions of our current medical system and general society habits from the age of 16 years.

Our society systems are complex and overloaded. I pride myself in bringing you simple yet powerful teachings that strip away the cost and confusion.

I am a mother and Nana Donna! I aspire to be a vibrant, energetic example of health and contentment, not only to my family, to the community at large.

Today I see people coping with their day in a blur filled with energy drinks, alcohol and fast food. Time poor, unsatisfied and unwell.

Whose life are most people living? Not the one they dream of! Why not?

25 years of continual study and working alongside the best I could find in each profession, has given me a wealth of knowledge, strategies and ability to teach…from a place of experience rather than theory.

I continue to explore, learn and study as the world of science and health shifts daily.

I love helping people improve their health and lifestyle. This is my life purpose. When I’m mentoring, teaching, guiding - it is from the heart, fully present, and passionate.

What life throws at you, is not who you are. Its how we respond, how we see our world that matters.

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

Dreams come true with the right knowledge of how to pursue them.

Let me be your guide. I look forward to connecting with you.
