Testimonials
A few years ago Dawn was reintroduced into my life. We grew up in the same part of northern MN. She was working with peoples health and I decided to reach out to her about working on losing weight and getting confidence back with self image.
Dawn set up a program geared to my personal attributes and habits, good and bad.
After creating a program and discussion, Dawn set out and initiated a physical regiment with equipment to work on muscle strength. Then, Dawn added a mental component to help me understand how to look at myself; a person that is worth it and valuable to others.
The final component is changing current eating habits and what to work. Examples of this are: replacing food items, such as, snack eating from chips and salt/sugar foods to crunchy replacements of celery or carrots. This was important because it is difficult to work through when one learns they are a stress eater. Part of this is dealing with the size of a meal and over eating. Over time and changing habits, I was able to feel comfortable with the new life style and weight loss happened.
It was not instantaneous nor fast, but over time baby steps of weight loss happened.
I appreciate Dawn for her heart for people, her desire to reach into ones life, and not judge or ridicule. Dawn has a heart of Christ and only desires to lift others to a positive new level in life.
Thank you Dawn for caring for people as your do. You are a blessing

Dawn has helped me through the ups and downs of weight gain and weight loss. My first pregnancy, I gained over 50 lbs and I swear my body has never been the same! Before children, being overweight or obese wasn't an issue. I now have three wonderful children, blessings. However after my third pregnancy, I found out I have severe PCOS! My OB doctor shared she was surprised I was able to even have children, I have been on the yo-yo roller coaster of diets, weight loss medications with side effects, and exercise workouts. some I saw great success and some not so much. I pause right here to share, I haven't met my ultimate weight or Fitness goals, I am a work in progress. I have learned there is no pill, drops, or workout for immediate results. you have to work at it! What I have always had though is Dawn’s willingness to steer me toward a healthy lifestyle. She doesn't judge me with my ups and downs. I have seen her consistently eat healthy, exercise, and use nutrition for over 15 years. She is always the first person I go to and trust with health. time after time, she has steered me in the right direction. I rely on her and I trust her wholeheartedly, you should too!

Dawn came across my path when I was struggling with a miscarriage. Dawn was sharing her story of also having this loss 3 times and how her faith in God helped her through it and how blessed she has been. I couldn’t understand how she could say that! So I asked her if she would me work through this. She listened, got know me and heard my hurt authentically . She cried with me, encouraged me and helped me work through this painful part of my life. I am now a mom of 3 and I share my story now to also help others. Thank you Dawn.

My brother and I were dealing with our elderly parents. We had just lost our mom and dad was not doing well. We were completely lost with where to start with everything. We met with Dawn and with her knowledge we found elderly care for dad and information in other programs for his care. Thank you Dawn!

Her compassion, dedication, and unwavering support provided Patti with the highest level of care and comfort. Dawn kept us motivated and was with us through very difficult times. She made every trip to emergency rooms and rehabilitation facilities. Her presence always provided strength and comfort, reminding us that we were never alone.

I met Dawn at a conference yrs ago. She was on stage sharing about forgiveness and how it grows us. My wife and I talked with Dawn afterwards and felt an instant connection with her peaceful and gentle spirit. I ran into her awhile later and shared that I had lost my wife and struggling. She shared how she also had lost her husband . I asked what she was doing these days. She shared she was coaching and counseling people through life changes and brokenness. I signed up for 4 weeks and added 4 more as I was dealing much better with the changes in my life. Dawn helped guide me with patience. She listened and was immensely helpful. I check in every so often. You won't be disappointed. Dawn truly cares.
