My Mission
Hello, I'm Dawn
I am a Transformational Somatic Life Coach and Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, devoted to helping individuals break free from cycles of codependency, low self-worth, unhealthy relationships, and stored trauma in the body. My mission is to guide you toward deep self-love, emotional freedom, and unshakable confidence so you can live with purpose and passion. Through a powerful blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Breathwork, Meditation, Somatic healing practices, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I create a safe space for healing, transformation, and lasting change."
If we haven’t met yet, here’s a little about me…
Those who know me will tell you that I have a deep love for people, adventure, dancing, and soaking up the beauty of nature. Life has certainly been anything but dull! As a mother of nine (yes, nine!), I’ve learned how to embrace the chaos while still finding moments of peace and presence.
But life threw me some unexpected curveballs. Within three years, I lost my mother, sent my youngest child off to kindergarten, and faced a heartbreaking divorce. It was during this time that I was confronted with a harsh truth: I didn’t even know who I was anymore. I had become so caught up in my identity as a mom and wife that I had completely lost touch with myself. I found myself asking, "Now what am I going to do with my life?" I felt completely lost, overwhelmed, and flooded with emotions that I didn’t know how to handle. Anxiety took over, and my body began to manifest pain and autoimmune issues, forcing me to face the reality of my emotional state.
I knew how to keep busy, to distract myself, and to disconnect in order to avoid confronting my overwhelming feelings. But eventually, that way of living became unsustainable. It was at my lowest point that I did what many of us do when we’re desperate for a change: I began praying, asking for something—anything—to help me find my way. A few days later, I stumbled upon an invitation to an online Somatic Breathwork session. Little did I know, this opportunity would forever change the course of my life.
I always say I didn’t find breathwork and somatic therapy; it found me. It became the magic that taught me how to reconnect with my body and quiet my racing mind. The combination of breathwork, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic coaching it allowed me to do the deep inner work I needed to create lasting change. For the first time, I felt like I was getting to know the parts of myself that I had been disconnected from for so long. I healed issues around abandonment, low self-worth, and co-dependency, and I began to understand what true self-love looked like.
As I integrated these holistic practices into my life, I experienced profound shifts. My stress and anxiety levels dropped, and my autoimmune conditions began to resolve on their own, without medication. Breathwork and somatic coaching unlocked emotions, unhealthy patterns, and trauma that were stuck in my body’s cellular memory, giving me the opportunity to heal and reconnect with the parts of me that longed for love and attention.
My journey of transformation inspired me to become a certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator and Transformational Somatic Coach specializing in Codependency and Self-love. I’ve found that incorporating IFS and inner child work has been key in facilitating deep healing and transformation. Seeing the positive results in myself and in my clients has been a profound reminder of the power of this work.

What is Somatic Coaching?
While traditional therapy often focuses on understanding our thoughts and behaviors, somatic practices take a different approach—one that honors the deep wisdom of your body. Somatic coaching helps uncover subconscious patterns and beliefs This "bottom-up" approach recognizes that your body carries important messages that can guide you toward healing. Your body holds onto more than you realize—emotions, memories, and experiences that shape how you show up in the world. Somatic practices offer a powerful path to transformation.
With this approach, you’ll navigate your day with newfound confidence, set clear boundaries, and regain control over your emotions. Self-doubt, pain, and fear no longer hold power over you.
