Introduction

In my health coaching practice I help people uncover the root causes of their symptoms and achieve better health with nutrition and lifestyle changes. I will guide you to make sustainable changes that improve your health and happiness. I do a thorough health history, symptom questionnaire, lab review and listen to your story. I put together the puzzle pieces of what might be contributing to your symptoms and health issues. I recommend dietary and lifestyle changes, a few at a time and help you incorporate them into your daily routine. We'll discuss how those went and how they made you feel. Then we'll talk some more and we'll add on a few more goals. I share the science behind my recommendations and share supporting documentation from national thought leaders and experts. Everything is customized to you and you have access to message me in between sessions for an unparalleled level of support and accountability. You'll get: Two 50-60 minute sessions per month Support between sessions Simple healthy and delicious recipes Handouts specific to your needs and goals I have dozens of recommendations and a five start review on my Facebook page - please check them out.

I met Dawn and we had an instant rapport. Our conversation somehow guided us to talking about food and we found we both were gluten and dairy free. It was great to find a kindred spirit. Someone who understood the trials of dietary restrictions (in my case - due to celiac disease). When I learned she is a Health Coach, I wanted to learn more, so I became a client. When I started seeing Dawn in January, I was suffering from GERD, digestive issues, and chronic headaches. These symptoms had greatly improved in recent years by removing gluten and dairy from my diet, but I still suffered set backs (from travel) and it was clear there were other triggers. I had not been able to figure them out. Our first meeting Dawn listened and asked a ton of questions. In future sessions, she reviewed my recent lab results and identified areas where I was deficient. She recommended supplements (in addition to ones I was already taking). Furthermore, she told easy ways to add more Iron into my diet. Each time we met, I left with a checklist of things to do and I tried not to waste any time, so I'd have time to see if the changes helped before our next session. Every meeting I was able to discuss changes I've made and gauge improvement. It wasn't until our last session when I realized I hadn't used all my migraine pills that month. Typically, I would need a prescription refill every month and would even get fearful that I might run out before I could refill. When we calculated the number of pills remaining vs. how many I would normally use in a month, we determined that my headaches improved roughly 75-80%! It was unbelievable! Additionally, I was taking prescription medication for GERD. I had tried in the past to stop taking medication and instead use healthier alternatives to treat my GERD, but I was never successful. Dawn helped me approach it from a different angle. She explained the science of it. We discussed what I normally ate and drank. She explained the obvious food and beverages (coffee) that I should avoid and also helped me discover other triggers that upset my reflux. In time, I have improved tremendously. I have not taken my prescription medicine since early January and my symptoms are 95% improved and getting better every day. I came into this 100% committed to doing what was right for my body, but frustrated because I still was struggling and couldn't find the answers to conquering my headaches, GERD and digestive issues. Dawn's recommendations made sense. They were simple to do. She followed up each session and made me accountable. In between sessions, she sent follow up emails and texts. She provided me tips on delicious and healthy food, locally sourced foods, educational articles, and recipe. She taught me about harmful GMO's, pesticides, toxins and gave me a better understanding of how to read food labels so I could avoid unhealthy foods. I've been able to quietly implement so many changes in our household and I feel better about the meals I am preparing for my family. The experience has been invaluable and life changing and I cannot recommend her services enough! Thank you Dawn for helping me find better health!
