Training & Speaker Services
Dawn is a dynamic motivational speaker and trainer who inspires transformational changes in both individuals and systems. Her philosophy of "When we raise the health and wellness of one person, we raise the health and wellness of the community as a whole" was formed from the adversities she experienced in her youth and early adulthood, combined with her experience as a Nurse Practitioner. During her life Dawn has felt first-hand, the barriers to seeking respectful, competent care and what it means to be given negative labels that can further impact one's health and wellness.
