In 2013, after 15 years in the financial services business, I felt that there is a major piece of the puzzle missing from traditional financial planning. If people are struggling in other areas of their lives, it creates an obstacle to achieve success in their finances. Based on this premise, I founded Donaldson Financial Wellness Network, LLC so that I could pull together professionals from all areas of life – financial, emotional, physical, spiritual – and help my clients realize their true, unlimited potential.
In 2019, the desire to help people achieve total peace of mind led me to an Interfaith / Interspiritual seminary program (One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in NYC) and I was ordained in June of 2021 as an Interfaith Minister. The merger of the financial and spiritual worlds continues to evolve for me and for my clients. My ultimate goal is to help as many people as possible achieve a more peaceful, joyful life. I believe that is only possible by incorporating spiritual growth into our lives.
If you are seeking more than just financial advice and you would like a dedicated partner to help you achieve all that you were meant to be, please call today to arrange for a consultation to discuss how I might be able to assist you.
