what is ascendvie?

Hey! I’m Jessica Donovan, the founder of AscendVie- my strength training and wellness program built on intention, progress, and passion. I’m a CPR/AED certified personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, and nutrition coach, but more than that, I’m someone who’s deeply invested in helping people feel better, move better, and get stronger fast.

Life can be hard to navigate, but I believe that when you choose to move through life with intention, everything changes. We can facilitate our own healing by incorporating meaningful movement into our lives. My approach to strength training combines progressive overload, yoga for flexibility and mobility, corrective exercises, resistance training, and personalized nutrition so you can gain real strength and energy, inside and out—no matter your starting point.

Whether you’re a total beginner or looking to level up, this is a space where you’ll be seen, supported, and challenged in the best ways. Watching my clients transform and grow—not just physically, but in confidence is why I do this.
