Dawn specializes in both therapeutic and prenatal massage. Therapeutic massage techniques include Swedish (relaxation), deep tissue, myofascial release integration, trigger point therapy, and gentle stretching.
Dawn works with individuals with chronic neck, back, and hip pain, has had a great deal of success in treating migraines and headaches, provides massage for general relaxation to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and much more.
Dawn provides massage for expecting women from conception to birth and the postpartum phase, including fertility massage and cesarean section scar massage. She also provides prenatal massage instruction and labor preparation classes for couples.
As a labor doula, Dawn provides not only physical support during childbirth, but emotional and information support which comes in the form of evidence-based information regarding childbirth education and resources, common medical interventions, and breastfeeding support and resources.
The practical side of her job in the labor room may include, but is not limited to massage, assisting with positional changes, aromatherapy, verbal encouragement, breathing exercises, as well as enhancing her birth partner’s involvement.
It is Dawn’s goal to meet the individual needs of each client. Whether you pulled a muscle working on the shed, you need some relief before or after a big race, you have chronic pain, or you just need to escape the everyday craziness of life, Dawn is here to help you meet your health and wellness goals!
