From surviving
to thriving.
Manage chronic illness, pain & fatigue without burning out. Move beyond survival and embrace confidence, resilience and hope.
"You deserve to feel seen, heard & supported."
— Coach Donna, MA
I've sat on both sides of the exam room.
I founded From Surviving to Thriving Wellness Coaching to help working women manage chronic illness, pain and fatigue without burning out. With over 29 years as a Medical Assistant — and 18+ years navigating my own chronic-condition journey — I bring a deeply patient-centered perspective rooted in compassion and real-world advocacy.
This practice focuses on the person beyond the diagnosis — whether you're living with a chronic condition, supporting a loved one, or seeking compassionate guidance.
Support for the whole you.
