About

Hi there! I’m Dawn, a life coach and creative life designer.

Enneagram 8, type A as they come... I live for  chocolate, love the perfect manicure, and swear I liked blush pink before anyone else.

ONCE UPON A TIME

I was a fitness professional and certified health and wellness coach. Until I...wanted to be a life coach! 

I have more college degrees than any one person should be allowed to have! Psychology, sociology, exercise science, kinesiology. You name it, I've wanted to be it. I finally settled on fitness as I neared the end of my college career. Throughout that career I have worked in corporate wellness, health club management, personal training, yoga teaching, health and wellness coaching and functional nutrition coaching. But nothing compares to life coaching women through the process of reinventing themselves and designing the life they want to live! 

So classy, so pink!

Then I finally found my purpose, helping women show up for their lives on purpose, with passion!

I've always had an affinity for listening to people and guiding them to their own answers. The more I talked to women, the more I realized that they were settling, selling themselves short, and living lives that were less than remarkable. 

After going through several coaching programs myself, I realized I wanted to coach women through the process of elevating their self-image. I want all women to want the best for themselves. 

I've been there. I've done it. I started over and rebuilt my life after a mid-life divorce. I decided I wanted to live a remarkable life; built around sophistication, elevated self-confidence, and grace.
