Heart-led, science informed coaching for whole person healing
Personalized compassionate care for sugar freedom, metabolic and mental well-being
Welcome to my coaching practice. My deepest hope is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and create a life of joy, balance, and freedom. After decades of struggling with sugar and ultra-processed food addiction, I found lasting recovery through evidence-based nutrition, mindset work, and deep emotional healing. Along the way, I reversed type 2 diabetes, maintained a 60-pound weight loss, and healed from depression, anxiety, migraines, chronic pain, and longstanding digestive challenges. The same holistic, science-informed, and compassionate approach that transformed my own life now guides the work I do with clients every day.
True healing begins when body, mind, and spirit are supported together. If you are ready to break free from sugar and emotional eating, calm your mind, restore your energy, and feel at home in your body, you’re in the right place. My approach blends sugar addiction recovery coaching, metabolic and nutritional therapies, and lifestyle and mindset practices that nurture your nervous system, support brain health, and honor your body’s innate wisdom.
Healing is always possible, no matter how long you have struggled or how many times you have tried. Lasting change happens with the right guidance, encouragement, and care.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Whether you are looking to heal your relationship with food, support your mental health naturally, regulate your nervous system, or address the root causes of chronic health issues, I'm here to support you. It’s about balance, restoration, self-love, and coming home to yourself.
Nourishment is an act of love.
By listening to your body and honoring its wisdom, you can begin to rebuild peace, strength, and trust within yourself.
Let’s walk this path together.
With compassion and curiosity, we’ll create a personalized way of living that fosters peace, resilience, deep healing, and lasting change.

"MaryDonna has always shown the perfect combination of sincerity, inquisitiveness, and intuition that I think is so critical in a coach. As metabolic health has come to the forefront for many, she has made this a primary objective for her clients as well. She is a valued and cherished colleague."
— Katrina Jong
“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.”
