Client Transformations
Real stories of strength, confidence, and holistic well-being.
"HEALTHIEST"
“The Academy of Automatic Health gave me a blueprint with step-by-step playbooks for each module clearly outlining what I need to do to put my health on autopilot. Warning! Side effects of this course may include firing your doctor.”
- Sam L
"A LIFE SAVER"
"During my first meeting and fitness assessment with Donna, she advised me to see my doctor to re-check my blood pressure before training and although she was very polite about it, I got very mad at her and stormed out. But what she said to me was on my mind and when I went to the doctor a week later, he told me that my blood pressure was dangerously high and that If I did not get it taken care of, I would be in serious trouble with my health. I felt so bad about the way I reacted to Donna so abruptly, I went back to the health club to apologize to her and then hired her to be my trainer. Thank you, Donna, you truly are a lifesaver to me."
- John R.
"HIGH PRAISE"
"Donna earns high praise from me!!! At 40-something I “was” a sporadic exerciser at best, yet I signed on to ride in the PMC, the challenging 192-mile cycling fundraiser . . . and then panicked! I contacted Donna via email in the very early morning hours and received a call back that day. She is a great listener and reassured me that my goal could be met in the very few short months we had before the event. Donna designed a plan specifically for me! She helped me work out the kinks, overcome my limitations with ease, and develop a positive mindset; and she made it fun!!! Donna is extremely positive, has a “whole”-istic strategy to health and wellness, getting it done with patience and enthusiasm! She really turned this anti-gym, anti-workout person around. I use Donna’s techniques daily and feel like a new person. I’m very thankful I found her!!"
- Chris R.
"MISS FIXIT"
Donna's holistic approach to care was unparalleled. Her diverse skills, from physical fitness and life coaching to household management, creative encouragement with artistic flair, and genuine compassion, made her an indispensable part of my well-being journey. I am immensely grateful for her support. An adept problem-solver and revolutionary, Donna, who I fondly referred to as 'Miss Fixit,' offered invaluable troubleshooting and encouraging resolutions."
– Deborah A.
"THANK YOU, DONNA”
Thank you for your extreme knowledge of physical fitness. Your passion for the human spirit motivated me. I am stronger and healthier because of your training."
