Since doing backpack therapy with Dawn. I have more confidence, and love for myself. I’m able to speak my mind. As my triggers come up, I am dealing with them. 

Dawn’s Backpack therapy helped me uncover childhood trauma that I was not aware of and how these triggers were still affecting my life today. Her unique ability to identify and bring awareness to these traumas is amazing and has helped me greatly on my spiritual journey. It has improved my life and is helping me live a more productive, and peaceful life

I didn’t think I needed it.

I’ve been on a spiritual journey for several decades now. I have seen and experienced alot so I thought I was beyond dealing with childhood trauma because I thought I had released it all! Dawn’s unique approach gave me perspective and understanding to give myself permission to release what I hadn’t before. I highly recommend trying it!! 

I must admit, at first, I was hesitant to commit to having to drudge up old trauma & past wounds. I was so hesitant , I had to reschedule once ...But , I gotta say I Am So Thankful I went through with it. What an impact Dawn had on me! I can honestly say I have a wonderful outlook after working w her. Each week we went over a few things, but I didn't need to drudge up too much and Dawn's Backpack Method is something I will continue to utilize thru out my entire healing journey. I am truly thankful for the experience and would highly recommend to anyone dealing with trauma, triggers, etc. (pretty much everyone on the planet).. she did not judge me at all, I felt very comfortable with her. 

"I’m blessed to have met Dawn through her Tai Chi Gung classes. I was hesitant at first when she spoke about “feeling the energy”, but my soul was curious, and I’m grateful I kept going back. My interactions with Dawn after class felt light and I looked forward to sharing my energy with hers. When she spoke to me about the backpack therapy, I was at a point in my self-healing journey where I wanted to dive in deeper, and I was excited to be able to do it with her. Sessions with her gave me perspective and brought more awareness to my past reliving in current day-to-day triggers. I don’t recommend starting this journey to anybody who is not ready to 1) hear the hard yet simple truth of life, 2) take accountability of their own actions and 3) most importantly, make the continuous (and sometimes strenuous) effort to do better because we know better now."

Again, thank you for choosing me as the first person to start your coaching business with. 

I'm available for any future projects you may have as well!

Meeting with Dawn was truly transformative and empowering. Engaging in "backpack therapy" – writing letters about past experiences, symbolically placing them in a backpack, and then letting them go – it can be a powerful method for processing and releasing emotional burdens. This practice not only allows me to let go of the past but also equips me with insights that can be shared to help others. It's wonderful for self-discovery and personal growth, and that my family has noticed a positive change in my life. I keep embracing this journey of self-improvement, as it's inspiring to see how healing and reflective practices can help me in fulfilling my life.   

It was divine intervention that brought me to Dawn’s Backpack therapy. I knew I had childhood traumas and fears but Dawn gave me the clarity to see them in their true light! I am now able to recognize my trauma's and give myself permission to feel and work positively through them. I thank you Dawn for your gentle approach and guidance through this process! I highly recommend her therapy!

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dawn for her incredible backpack therapy program. This journey has been truly transformative for me, allowing me to unpack deep-seated emotional burdens from my early childhood—ones that I hadn’t fully realized were still shaping my thoughts, reactions, and behaviors throughout my life.

Through this process, I’ve gained a clearer understanding of why certain situations trigger strong emotional responses in me and why I react the way I do. Instead of feeling trapped in patterns I couldn’t fully explain, I now have the tools to recognize and address these emotions with greater clarity and self-awareness.

Dawn’s guidance and support have been invaluable, helping me not only to process the weight I’ve been carrying but also to take meaningful steps toward healing and growth. This experience has given me a renewed sense of hope and the ability to move forward with more confidence and peace.

Thank you, Dawn, for creating a space where healing can truly begin. Your work is making a profound difference, and I am deeply grateful for the impact it has had on my life.
