Are you looking for compassionate, science-informed care that supports sugar freedom, metabolic and mental health, and a deeper sense of feeling at home in your body, while honoring your body’s innate wisdom?
Metabolic health is the way your body creates, manages, and uses energy. When it’s strong, you feel steady, clear, and resilient. When it’s disrupted, you may experience:
Cravings
Mood swings
Fatigue
Brain fog
Chronic symptoms that feel hard to untangle
My focus is helping you restore this balance so your body and mind can work together with ease.
Many thoughtful, motivated adults find themselves stuck in cycles of cravings, emotional eating, or dependence on sugar and ultra‑processed foods. These patterns can affect:
Mood and emotional regulation
Stress and nervous system stability
Energy levels
Chronic conditions like pain, digestive issues, and metabolic disorders
I help you understand these patterns with compassion, calm your nervous system, and support your body so healing becomes sustainable and whole‑person.

My approach is shaped by both formal training and lived experience. After decades of struggling with sugar and ultra‑processed food addiction, I found lasting recovery through:
Evidence‑based nutrition
Mindset and behavior change
Deep emotional healing
Along the way, I put type 2 diabetes into remission, maintained a 60‑pound weight loss, and healed from depression, anxiety, migraines, chronic pain, and long‑standing digestive challenges. Because I’ve walked this path, I support clients with empathy, realism, and genuine hope.

“Coach MaryDonna is a superb coach. she facilities extremely helpful group sessions on zoom. She listens astutely and reflects back in a caring and constructive way. MaryDonna is highly skilled and knowledgable. Based on her own personal struggles with sugar addiction over the years, she is able to provide empathy and understanding from her own journey. I particularly appreciate her sensitivity and her ability to be non-judgmental and not push her particular area of success on others. She recognizes that this journey is personal for each of us and helps us move forward in a way that is helpful to each of us. She cares so deeply for each of us and often sends a message of support to me after the meetings and checks in to see how I am doing with my challenges. Coach MaryDonna is a treasure!”

“MaryDonna is a gifted coach and her wisdom and knowledge have helped me so much. Over 2 years ago, I had fallen back into the food, and my weight and metabolic health were in terrible shape. I was class 2 obese, pre-diabetic, PCOS, and my anxiety was killing me. Getting back on track was hard, but with MaryDonna's guidance on how to use my CGM, notice how what I eat affects my blood sugar and mood, and taking small steps every day to move forward in a positive way, I got there. She is a loving, gentle spirit, but knew when I needed a push. I can't recommend her enough. Get help. You won't regret it.”
