Meet Donna Pivnick

Hello!  I'm Donna Pivnick, the name and face behind Donna Health Coaching, and I'm happy you're here.

Since a viral part of health and wellness coaching involves learning about my clients, I thought it was only fair that I share a little bit about myself here as well.

I have always had a passion for learning about and living a healthy life, but it has not always been my profession.  For nearly thirty years, my "day job" was working as a real estate broker.  I sold houses, managed offices, and mentored over 100 agents to successfully meet their annual goals.  After selling my business the year I turned 70, I knew I wanted to put my time and effort into something different.

I found health and wellness coaching, a path which I felt could combine my curiosity for and love of healthier living with my success in real estate coaching in order to assist and empower others.  Never one to do something halfway, I immediately looked for the most rigorous and thorough program I could find to educate myself in this new and exciting field.

I spent two years studying at the Institute of Integrative Health, earning first a certificate as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and then completing my Intensive Coaching Practicum to become a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.  I am thrilled to use all of the knowledge I gained during my studies to better help my clients on their journeys to create more positive and healthful lives for themselves.

That's my professional background, but I would love to share some of my personal background as well - let's get to know each other!

I live with one human - my husband, Jay - and one miniature goldendoodle pup named Maxie.  All three of us love to eat, to travel, and to visit my two adorable grandbabies who are growing up very fast.

My favorite color is purple.  My favorite ice cream flavor is coffee.  I believe if you set your mind to something you can achieve it, and if a dessert has fruit in it, that means you can eat it for breakfast.  I also strongly, strongly believe that I can help my clients with energy and empathy to create the fulfilling lives they're looking for, at whatever stage of life they're in.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, to book a session, or to tell me why you agree that coffee ice cream is the best ice cream.  I'm excited to hear from you.
