Hi, I'm Donna Crossen. 

I am a wife, mother and nurse who has spent too many years working too many hours, spreading myself too thin and not doing enough self-care.  This unhealthy lifestyle led me down a road to obesity, low self-esteem, depression, stress, sleep apnea and food addictions. I was heading toward diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis. I have experienced the pain of not feeling comfortable in my own body, longing for a better life, but not knowing where to start or how to get there. I was so tired, trying and failing over and over, and at times feeling helpless and almost hopeless.

​

But I am resilient and curious, always looking for a better way. Through trial and error, and hours of research and self-exploration, I changed my lifestyle and overcame all of these afflictions. Then one day I discovered a specialty for nurses that I previously didn’t know existed - nurse coaching. I studied and practiced with beautiful, like-minded nurses from many specialties, of different ages, backgrounds and experiences. This was truly a life-changing experience, and I realized then what my true calling was.. So I decided to embark on a journey where I could use my knowledge, life experience, struggles and successes to help others who are fighting these same battles.  Welcome to crossen2wellness!
