Hi, I'm Donna

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.
