  Do you think you really connected, but now it’s suddenly over, and you don’t even know what happened? It was going so well! How could someone’s feelings change so fast? Well, unfortunately, it really can be as simple as one wrong statement. We are seeing that happen everywhere in …

I have known Donna Barnes now for 3 years as a coach and she has been such a valuable resource and listening ear in terms of developing how I approach and overcome different challenges in my life and long term relationship. She is such a compassionate person and is very attentive and supportive in helping me progress well. I value highly her wealth of advice which has enabled me to enrich and make the foundation to my long term relationship and general life goals stronger. Thank you so much Donna!

An Easy Testimonial To Write! Donna is a true pro. When I met Donna last year and enlisted her help in my own dating journey, I felt like I struck gold. Donna took the time to get to know me and my unique dating and relationships goals. We worked collaboratively to make a plan. I felt like I found a coach, advocate, and a friend. I would gladly recommend Donna to anyone looking for insight and guidance in any aspect of their dating life.

I been watching Donna's videos, and also spoken with her on the phone. I felt like she gave the most honest and real answers of all the relationship coaches that I have listen to, and talk with. I would recommend to anyone going thru a breakup to listen to her. Her advise is real!! Thank you

Donna is an excellent, insightful life and relationship coach. She guided me through personal and professional obstacles including heartbreak and a career change. I have worked with her now for many years. What makes Donna unique is that she has so many life examples from her own experiences as well as long time client experiences that she can help relate too. She is also a wealth of resources, from tools to working through anxiety to healthy processes to overcome heartache. Un-judgmental and supportive, she uses a plethora of knowledge to work with you to achieve your goals. You leave your sessions feeling like you can or have accomplished overcoming whatever issue you brought to that session. Her guidance has proven priceless over and over.

I reached out to Donna after a tough break up with my girlfriend last summer. I think I hit her with some heavy, dark stuff in our very first session but she didn’t even flinch! I immediately felt hopeful “here’s someone who has heard it all..! maybe she can actually help me!?” And she did! Over the ensuing months she was there for me when I needed her; offering advice or just listening to my RANTS! I was feeling hopeless (obsessing and ruminating). Donna was able to help me feel better about myself and actually gave me hope that I would recover and of course get to a place where I could meet someone else. Thank you Donna!!

Change is not the hardest part of the process when it comes to growth and bettering yourself. Realizing what you need to change and understanding how to do it is where real skill is required. Donna takes the time to get to know the real you and has a unique way of making you feel comfortable about looking at yourself through a third person omniscient lens. She helped me realize that I was attracting the wrong people and worked with me to figure out the root issue of why this was happening. Now I can confidently say that, not only my love life but, my personal life has change for the better. Thank you Donna for giving me the tools and confidence to set my ship on the right course to success!!! Dave Queens, NY

I came across Donna’s YouTube videos in 2017 while going through issues concerning the breakup of a relationship. I found her videos answered most of my questions, however, I was still seeking answers. I contacted Donna for a couple of coaching sessions and I was amazed by her candor and her friendliness! It truly is like talking to a best friend! Her advice has been relevant, her stories and anecdotes insightful and her willingness to stay connected and available extremely helpful. Four years later, I still have dating questions and go to Donna for answers...and she still remembers my past issues! LOL! I truly recommend Donna for help in all relationship areas - especially where there is doubt a relationship is right for me. Sometimes the best thing to do is “hit the pause button,” remind myself of my value and the goodness of my heart - and consider a breakup!
