You're doing everything you've always done, training consistently, watching what you eat, but something has shifted.
Your body isn't responding the way it used to, and the harder you push, the more exhausted you feel.
You're not broken. You're not failing. Your body has changed, and the approach that worked in your 30s simply isn't designed for where you are now.
That's not a problem to fix with more effort. It's a signal that your body needs a different kind of support.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Nutrition Coaching
Practical, sustainable nutrition support without restrictive diets or rigid meal plans.
We work together with your appetite, your lifestyle, and your hormones to create a way of eating that supports your energy, your body composition, and your long-term health.
Online Personalised Coaching
A fully personalised online coaching program combining strength training, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle support. Built around your body, your hormones, and your real life.
This is for women who want more than a generic program, who want a coach in their corner who understands what's actually going on and knows how to help.
In-person Coaching
This is for my clients local to Adelaide, South Australia.
I offer personalised one-on-one sessions at the gym, working through your goals, checking in on your progress, and coaching you through your training in person. Session length is flexible and built around what you need.
Hi, I'm Donna!
I'm a personal trainer, nutritionist, and menopause coach with over 16 years of experience working with women.
I've spent the better part of my career helping women build strength, understand their bodies, and create habits that actually stick. And I've learned, through my own experience and thousands of hours coaching others, that the biggest thing standing between most women and the results they want isn't effort. It's strategy.
Through Bia Wellness, I work with women online to build strength, support their hormones, stabilise their energy, and feel more at home in their bodies. Without the extremes. Without the burnout.
There's a way forward that doesn't require you to do more. It just requires the right approach.
Donna has been supporting my fitness program for at least 10 years and throughout the whole time she has been highly professional very innovative and very positive in her personal training sessions. The sessions are always fun and well structured and I have seen a definite improvement in my general fitness and health. More recently Donna has provided very practical dietary advice and encouragement which has neatly complemented the fitness program. Throughout all this time Donna has always been very positive and encouraging with natural cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

Donna is truly incredible. She’s not just a personal trainer- she’s a cheerleader, a support system, and someone who genuinely cares about you as a whole person. She knows when I need to be challenged and pushed to do my absolute best, but just as importantly, she recognises when I’m tired, stressed, or overwhelmed and shifts the session to support my nervous system instead.
She listens, she understands, and she meets you exactly where you’re at. Her knowledge around strength, nutrition, and women’s health (especially navigating your 40s) is amazing, and it shows in how she tailors everything so thoughtfully.
I genuinely love working with her and always leave feeling stronger, supported, and more grounded. Highly recommend.

Donna is an incredible instructor and a genuinely lovely person to know. I have been training with her for nearly four years and it's one of the best decisions I've made. My work involves a lot of manual handling and Donna is the reason I stay fit, healthy and injury free. I'm always grateful for her structured, effective and safe sessions delivered with such a friendly approach. Highly recommend.

I was fortunate to begin working with Donna on my strength training journey in March 2026. Having recently being diagnosed with osteoporosis, I had always maintained an active lifestyle to help manage my condition, but I realised I was missing a vital component — strength training.
After my initial assessment, Donna created a personalised program tailored to my needs. I originally planned to try just a few sessions, however after my very first session, I immediately knew I was in the right hands. Donna’s experience, knowledge, and supportive coaching style gave me complete confidence.
Prior to training with Donna, I struggled with chronic nighttime reflux following an esophagectomy five years ago. Working with her has truly been life-changing. Not only have I been able to reduce my medication, but I also feel healthier, stronger, and more energised in my daily life.
Donna is far more than an exceptional strength coach. Her broad knowledge and genuine care for her clients’ wellbeing have had a significant impact on my overall quality of life. She intuitively understands my body, knows exactly how much to challenge me, and always ensures I train safely without pushing me to burnout.
I genuinely look forward to my sessions each week and am incredibly grateful for Donna’s passion, expertise, and commitment to improving people’s wellbeing. She is truly an amazing person and coach.
