Have you been holding on, wondering if things will ever really change? Feeling unheard, disconnected, or like you’re the only one trying to make it work? Maybe you’ve started to believe that deep connection just isn’t meant for you. But what if it is? What if the closeness, safety, and healing you’ve been craving are actually within reach? Others have broken the cycle and you can too.

Inner Strength
Personal, Professional, and Relationship Development Curriculum and Coaching
Are you stuck in the same cycle, thinking “Here we go again,” or like you're holding back from saying what’s really on your heart?
Have you felt like your emotions didn’t matter, whether with your partner, at work, or even in your own family, and you were left carrying it all alone?
Do you ever feel like you're surviving more than you're living? Longing for deeper connection, clarity, or peace, but unsure how to move past the hurt or confusion that keeps you stuck?
How are you showing up in your relationships at work?
Life Balance and Wellness Coaching
Have you ever felt invisible? Like your emotions were dismissed, ignored, or too much to handle? Whether in your relationship, at work, or even in your own family... and somehow, you were the one left holding it all together, alone?
Do you keep finding yourself in the same patterns? Biting your tongue, shrinking your truth, and wondering why it always ends the same way... like you’re stuck in a loop you didn’t choose but can’t seem to escape?
Relationship Coaching
When love starts to feel like walking on eggshells, when your needs go unmet and your voice feels silenced, it’s easy to believe that change is out of reach. But healing is possible. Others have found their way back to connection, and you deserve that too.

ABOUT
I love what I do, let me help you love your life.
Connect U isn’t just a program, it’s a movement.
It’s about real people, real growth, and real connection. Founded by Doni, an ICF-certified life coach and trauma-informed facilitator, Connect U was born from the deep understanding: we often enter relationships with high commitment but low skills or tools needed to succeed. Whether in families, workplaces, or communities, we’re doing our best but we’re not always equipped to navigate conflict, build trust, or communicate with clarity. Connect U helps participants tune in, take back what’s been lost, reinvent how they show up, and redesign their relationships. It’s a space for healing, empowerment, and transformation. Where confidence and connection grow from the inside out.
With over 600 participants and counting, Connect U offers two day intensive workshops and/or coaching that meets people where they are. The curriculum is grounded in evidence based practices and designed to spark self awareness, resilience, and deeper connection with yourself and others. Whether you're part of an organization looking to shift culture, or someone navigating a personal crossroads, Connect U provides tools that are practical, inclusive, and genuinely transformative.
And if you're seeking one on one support, Doni’s coaching is a safe space to unpack what’s heavy, explore what’s possible, and take steps that feel aligned with who you are. Her approach is compassionate, client centered, and rooted in lived experience. Every session is tailored to your goals, your values, and your story.
For the past six years, Doni has also partnered with addiction recovery homes to bring the healthy relationship curriculum directly to people on their recovery journey. She has made it a priority to meet folks where they are, offering practical tools for communication, boundaries, and connection that support long-term healing. By weaving relationship skills into the recovery journey, Connect U helps make the path forward not just stronger, but more sustainable.

"My husband and I took this class during a time when our marriage was really struggling, and it provided us with so many valuable tools. We gained a deeper understanding of our personalities and why we respond the way we do, explored how our upbringing and family dynamics shaped us, and learned practical strategies for clearer communication and setting healthy boundaries.
Doni has such a gift for truly seeing and hearing people. She went above and beyond for us, and I could feel how much she genuinely cared about our situation. Because of her class, I’ve not only been able to communicate more effectively with my husband, but also with my children, clients, and others in my life.
I’ve already recommended this class to several friends, and I’m excited to see how it continues to evolve and grow."
