I’m Dana—a trainer, nutrition coach, and mom who knows firsthand how hard it is to put yourself first when life feels full. For years, I tried to “bounce back,” juggle everything, and still do it all perfectly. Spoiler: it didn’t work.
After years of starting over, I finally realized what I needed wasn’t another “all-in” plan—it was something sustainable. Something real. Now, I help other women do the same through smart strength training, nutrition coaching, and real-life routines that make you feel strong, confident, and grounded—without the guilt.
You’re trusting me with your health–and I take that seriously. My programs are rooted from evidence-based training and nutrition, as well as real-life experiences. I’ve gone through the stress, overwhelm, and identity shifts that come with motherhood, but I’ve also invested my time and energy into years of continued education to ensure my clients get the best help they can receive.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all plans. I believe in meeting women where they are—and coaching them through habits that last.
This all started after having my second child, when I realized that constantly trying to “get back to my old self” was doing more harm than good. I didn’t want to live in survival mode—I wanted to feel strong now, in the season I was in.
That’s why I built DO Coaching Co.—a place for women to be seen, supported, and challenged in a way that works for real life.
As a coach, I believe in progress over perfection.
As a mom, I know that "perfect" rarely exists.
Everything I offer is designed to meet you where you are—with workouts you can do at home or the gym, nutrition support that fits your schedule (and sanity), and the flexibility to show up imperfectly and still succeed.
Whether you're juggling school drop-offs, chasing toddlers, or finally getting five minutes to yourself, you deserve to feel strong and proud of how you show up.
Early mornings, late nights, and little time for me. Right out of college, I was working as an on-camera morning meteorologist. It looked exciting from the outside—but behind the scenes, I was exhausted and constantly putting myself last.
If you’re in your hustle era and can’t remember the last time you took care of yourself, I see you.
I left my career to follow my heart. My now husband took his professional hockey career overseas, and I decided to go with him. It was during this first year overseas that I decided I wanted to start something new. I got certified through NASM as a Personal Trainer in the summer of 2018.
If you're craving a reset, it's never too late to shift your focus.
I had my first baby and realized how little support actually existed for new moms. My NASM certification didn’t even scratch the surface of what women truly need during pregnancy and postpartum. So I went deeper—studied more, got my Pre/Postnatal certification, and committed to helping women feel strong through every stage.
If you’re navigating pregnancy or postpartum and feel overlooked, I built this for you.
At the end of 2021, I had just given birth via c-section to our second child. It was in this moment that I told myself I wanted to do things differently. I shifted my focus from sweaty, circuit-styled training to lifting weights with progressive overload and focusing on nutrition as well.
If you feel too busy to focus on yourself, I promise—small steps still count.
I became a certified nutrition coach through NASM in 2022, but wanted to dive deeper into Macro Nutrition, so I took another nutrition course through Macro Mentorship to become a certified Macro Nutrition Coach. This opened new doors for my business as a whole!
If you want a better way to care for yourself, you’re in the right place.

Now I coach women around the world through strength training, nutrition, and sustainable routines that actually fit their lives. It’s not perfect. It’s real. And it works.
If you’re ready to feel proud of how you show up—this is your sign.

You don’t need a perfect plan, the perfect time, or a perfect version of yourself to begin. You just need something that meets you where you are—something built on real life. That’s what I’m here for. Whether you’re postpartum, busy with work and kids, or simply tired of starting over, I’ve got your back.
