Donna's Health and Life Coaching, Holden, MA (2025)

A few years ago, I was EXACTLY where you might be right now—overwhelmed, exhausted, and wondering why prioritizing my health felt impossible. My energy was drained, my stress levels were through the roof, and I was struggling to feel like myself again. But I turned things around, and now I’m PASSIONATE about helping other women do the same. My clients often come to me feeling stuck, struggling wit

h weight, stress, and an unhealthy relationship with food. Through my TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATIONAL PROGRAM, I empower women to reclaim their energy, renew their relationship with food, and step into a life of balance and fulfillment. My mission is to guide you toward a healthier, happier version of yourself—without restrictive diets, overwhelming plans, or impossible expectations. As one client, Deb, shared: "Before Donna’s fabulous coaching, I was struggling with a weight I could not budge, a feeling of hopeless addiction to sugar, and the frustration of not achieving the health I wanted. Through Donna’s coaching, I lost weight, gained energy, and transformed my mindset, body, and spirit!"

My TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATIONAL PROGRAM combines personalized plans, individual support, weekly resources, and ongoing encouragement. I offer unconditional support, enthusiasm for your progress, and compassion for your struggles. Together, we’ll create a step-by-step roadmap to help you thrive.

✨ If you’re ready to prioritize yourself, rediscover your vitality, and create a life of balance and fulfillment, let’s connect. You deserve to feel amazing every single day.

Bones Matter: Nutrition Strategies to Prevent & Manage Osteoporosis Zoom Workshop

Thursday, May 29th 6:30-8:30pm

With Certified Health Coach Donna Franklin

Osteoporosis is a common health problem worldwide, especially among older adults. According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), an estimated 200 million women are affected by osteoporosis globally.

While osteoporosis affects both men and women, it is more prevalent in women, particularly after menopause. This is because estrogen, which helps protect bone density, decreases significantly during menopause.

Osteoporosis increases the risk of fractures, particularly in the hip, spine, and wrist. Fractures related to osteoporosis can lead to significant morbidity, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality, especially in older adults.

Workshop Description:
Join us for a comprehensive virtual workshop on bone health and nutrition, held live via Zoom. This session is designed for anyone looking to strengthen their bones naturally, boost mineral absorption, and better understand how nutrition impacts bone density.

Whether you're aiming to prevent osteoporosis or actively manage your bone health, this workshop will empower you with practical, science-backed strategies to support your skeletal system at every stage of life.

You'll learn:
Which nutrients are essential for bone strength (and where to find them)

How to enhance calcium and mineral absorption through food and lifestyle

The role of inflammation, hormones, and gut health in bone loss

Simple changes you can make to your meals to support long-term bone health

Perfect for women in midlife, caregivers, health seekers, and anyone looking to take charge of their wellness journey.

Testimonial: I found the course given by Donna extremely informative. Much information was provided, and Donna was sensitive to each person's food situation. Since I am vegetarian, she researched vegan alternatives to supplements and foods she discussed. Even though I have studied on various osteo websites, I still gained more knowledge from participating in the course. I would highly recommend taking the course to enhance your own health. Loretta
