I worked with Donna when I was starting my own business. It was such a positive experience that was completely transformational. Together we were able to work through my limiting beliefs and refocus my mindset for my business. By the end of my program, I had a new-found confidence. I gained clarity and was clear on my goals. Mental blocks had gone, my business values were affirmed and my overall mindset was really positive. Donna is a brilliant coach and wonderful person to work with. I gained my first 5 clients during this program!

Donna recently ran an amazing leadership program. She was insightful, engaging, combining practical leadership skills with the knowledge of mindset -the key to working smarter not harder to get results. The individual coaching provided post program was instrumental to overcoming individual mindset challenges and embedding permanent change.

Every time I have a session with Donna I leave feeling refreshed, focussed and calm. In my initial sessions she helped me achieve a 7kg weight loss over 5 sessions. Changing my thoughts about myself and food was so powerful.
Donna worked with me a second time to help me stop avoiding studying. I hadn’t studied since school and the self-doubt and fear of failing kept me stuck. After one session I was motivated and no longer had a nervous tummy when I sat down to study. I just handed up my first assignment!

I highly recommend working with Donna and her Rapid Results Program in 5 amazing weeks I have gained confidence in moving forward in a new career change at the age of 50 that had been my identity for 30 years. That light that I couldn’t identify with at the beginning of our program has now been switched on!
I gained new mindset skills , a new found clarity , confidence and motivation that was being hindered and challenged by my old thought processes and limiting belief patterns
Donnas program was a fun , relaxed empowering approach whereby I found my inner confidence , to believe in myself , my strengths , to identify my values and goals and what motivates me and how to channel this into all aspects of my life , not just professionally but personally as well .This new found business mindset has flowed into my personal goals and relationships as well as my health and wellbeing . Goals are being met, I am growing, I am confident , I am more productive in life and business .
Thank you Donna !!
