Hi, I'm Dawn Millinder, RN, BSN, HWBC-NC
I am so excited that you found your way here.  I am thankful for the privilege to facilitate your unique pathway to holistic healing and abundance.

I have been an RN for 9 years now.  During my time at the bedside working in several different specialties, I encountered many types of people with many different health conditions and struggles. I quickly became frustrated with a system that treats symptoms with medication and /or surgery rather than exploring the root cause of the symptoms.   I wasn’t very long before I decided to pursue a health coaching certification.  I believe what people need most is for someone to hold space for them to explore what is going on from a holistic approach. I also believe that everyone ultimately wants to feel seen, heard and valued.
 
Having grown up in a situation with a great deal of trauma, I was completely disconnected from myself.  While this disconnection helped me survive my childhood, it kept me from experiencing life fully.  I had worn the mask of protection and other people’s expectations for so long that I had no idea who my true self was.  I struggled with anxiety, low self esteem, and the need to push myself way too hard to prove my worth. I was often exhausted and ended up with auto-immune issues in my body.
 
As I worked to find relief from my health conditions, I learned about the impact diet had on my body, I learned about the mind-body connection, and I learned that there is so much more to who we are than we realize.  Over the years since my original diagnosis, I have taken classes, researched and acquired so many tools to help women heal and connect deeply with themselves.  I love having a toolbox full of various tools because no person or situation is the same.  I enjoy spending time with my clients to be sure that I know their personal goals and can bring the tools and education that will best help them on their journey of self-discovery and healing.
 
I teach meditation, journaling, Internal Family Systems, nutrition, movement, and shadow work.  In addition, I utilize Quantum Human Design, Quantum Alignment System, Emotional Freedom Technique, Story Lab, Astrology and Integral theory.  I believe in the Holistic approach to coaching as we are one system with many interlocking parts.  In order for us to experience true freedom, connection and health, we must heal ourselves on multiple levels.
