Amazing coach, kind focused and thoughtful, I found she helped me remove blocks in my life and start to see things differently. Our work set me on a new path which was very helpful. read more

I'm writing this review about a year later after our 2 sessions. After getting laid off from my corporate job of a high position, losing my girlfriend, dog and a list of other atrocities I was lost and broken in my life. I was willing to do whatever it took to get back on my feet after numerous attempts at therapy whether it was through my insurance provider or private practice. I was a bit skeptical at first about hypnotherapy and life coaching because of the heavy price tag attached but here's what happened. We had a counseling session to see what was going on in my life and how we could go about regaining my clarity and confidence. She helped me realize that there was a lot of past trauma that I had to forgive myself coupled with the bitter truth that my self-destructive tendencies may not have been my fault but is ultimately my responsibility to address. I'm not too sure if the hypnotherapy programmed my subconscious that allowed me to take more action in my life than floating around. The month after our sessions I made more progress in regaining my health by choosing healthier foods and cutting out smoking. I also found a new hobby of swing trading and opening myself up to diversifying and growing my wealth from my savings, severance check and Unemployment Benefits. I ended up doing extremely well as I was confident in my buying and selling stocks by reading trends in the market and a little bit of intuition in the tech industry. Even if I was an emotional wreck I didn't let it affect my decision making when it came to trading. After a year later I have made much more progress in my personal development and career. I ended up founding my own marketing business, travel extensively as well as go on to work for other major companies within my career field. read more

It was great meeting Dawn. I quickly perceived that she is a person who resides in a place of accepting well being and walking in abundance. It's inspiring. I found our sessions to be a positive part of my journey and her a person who added no detriment. She has so much creative energy to offer. read more

I had the opportunity to meet with Dawn several times as well as partake in one hypnosis session roughly two years ago. These sessions still resonate with me today and I've moved past an existential crisis as a result. Dawn immediately saw what my real problem was and helped me immediately to begin healing myself to begin to make better decisions, and overall control of my life. I highly recommend Dawn, if it is even for one hypnosis session it is life changing and valuable. Thank you again Dawn! read more

I usually keep my personal business closely guarded, but maybe sharing my insight can help someone else as much as Dawn has helped me. I was going through a rough patch and needed help overcoming it. I heeded the words of a close friend and sought objective advice. I've never been one to seek or want professional help, but setting that preference aside was probably one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I was further convinced I made the right choice from my first phone call with Dawn. My first session left me empowered and, more importantly, a way forward. I fully immersed myself in these sessions--even doing the homework she gave me (this was my life, after all). Dawn is gifted in the way she articulates awareness in yourself and in others. It's been a few months since that first session and I feel like my mental state has greatly improved. I highly recommend her services, you really won't regret it. read more

I had my first session today and words cannot express what I am feeling. SHE IS THE REAL DEAL- you'll know you hit the jackpot once you start working with her. Knowledgeable, genuine, kind and gifted. I'm excited for the next steps on my journey with Dawn. read more

Wow, I can not speak highly enough about Dawn. She is such a fantastic, calming and professional person and she has completely changed my life. With meditation and her methods she has taught me, I have found much easier ways to cope with my stress and depression. Also she's not a pill pusher, which I love, I hate taking medicine and she has been an amazing addition to my life. read more

I have been contemplating seeing a Chinese medicine specialist for a while now. I saw an Amazon local deal and decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did. I have a lot of stress and have tried, therapy, mediation, yoga, etc. nothing really made me feel in balance or that it was relieving any stress at all. My body always felt out of whack with my self. I had my first session today and I left feeling at ease and comforted. I have not had that feeling at all with the methods above. I don't know if this is an answer, but it's definitely something I will be trying again in the near future. Like the other reviews stated, Dawn puts you right at ease and she does not make you feel like you have to continue sessions nor does she "push" her ideas at you. Thank you Dawn! read more

One of the best decisions and investments I have made for both personal and professional growth was to start working with Dawn. I was down in LA, temporarily, and had always wanted to start coaching/talking to someone. I happened to stumble on Dawn through Yelp. I was blown away after the first session with just how much Dawn was able to open me up as a person. I met with her every week after that until I left LA. I can not state how much I have grown, learned, and changed as a person over the last few months. It's hands down the best decision I have made in the past decade as an investment into myself. I currently meet with Dawn remotely and that has been working just as great. She's really flexible and very understanding. Dawn is a great person to go to increase your self-awareness, self-intuition and self-understanding. On top of that, she guides you in the right direction -- in just the right(perfect) way. Whether that's doing specific exercises, meditation, etc. If you are considering, just meet with Dawn once. It's enough to convince you to continue. read more

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. That's all I wanted to say, but Yelp said that I had to put more words down in order to be a review. So here they come. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. read more

Not only is Dawn an awesome person, but she helped me turn my life around in a couple of sessions! She helped me come up with coping mechanisms for my anxiety, and they're actually mechanisms that I can and do use. They are easily applicable to my everyday life. She also recommended a fantastic guided journal which is something I look forward to doing every day. Since meeting with Dawn, I've put my mental health first and have made some changes to my life that I didn't think were possible before. I highly recommend contacting Dawn! read more

The results of working with Dawn have elevated my thinking and released many self-imposed limitations. Dawn is a dynamic & compassionate teacher. Each conversation with her leaves me more in tune with myself and better prepared for continued healing. read more

I was having a particularly tough time with my professional life, but all of the funk lifted when I came to see Dawn. We sat down for a 60 minute session and were able to work through a list of solutions, and I left her office feeling excited to take these challenges head on. Dawn has an incredibly warm spirit and I immediately felt comfortable talking with her. I would and will be recommending her to all my friends! THANK YOU DAWN! read more

I have been working with Dawn for just over a month and would highly recommend her practice. She is professional and dedicated to helping you reach your goals and be successful. My focus recently has been advancing my career and enhancing my personal life. Dawn's guidance and suggestion to start daily meditation have proven very effective and I am already seeing results. So excited about the journey ahead! read more

Dawn is an amazing coach! Everything she has told me to do or recommended me to do, has had a positive impact on my life. She has told me things about my personality that no one else has. She motivates me and always has clear perspectives on everything that I ask. Dawn is very intelligent, and always knows what's best. She has helped me to better understand myself and pushed me career wise. Even my parents have noticed a big difference in my life! read more

I really can't recommend Dawn enough, her insightful and intuitive approach to any issues I had, has helped me enormously. She immediately helped me identify some areas of focus and helped me find a gentle way to begin negotiating these and making a positive change. I'd always been really resistant to meditation but Dawn helped me find an approach and the difference it has made to my life is enormous, I am calmer more focused and able to process more difficult emotions and heal too. A lot of people would view a coach as someone who puts you on a strict timeline with goals but Dawn's assurance learning how to flow with things is a more gentle way to get results is one I have found so helpful. She has a kind but direct way of speaking which I found hugely encouraging, I fundamentally trusted her and her approach and she has a sense of assurance that automatically made me feel better. I would highly advise anyone seeking to make meaningful change in their life to meet with Dawn. read more

dawn is a truly talented individual. she is not just a therapist, but a healer. she takes the time to discuss problem's/issues, and then methodically addresses them with surgeon like precision. i've worked with masseuses in most of the major cities in the country and she is the BEST. she is intelligent, thoughtful and powerful. she will not disappoint. i go as often as possible and recommend her to everyone i know. read more

My session with Dawn was so comfortable and productive. As soon as I sat down she made me feel at home and I was able to talk about anything that was troubling me. I was able to record the session and I listen to it for a reminder of the lessons we went over that afternoon. I can't recommend her enough! read more

I was having a tough time with work and in life, in general. I found myself depressed and overwhelmed most of the time. I am not saying I was without joy, but I knew on the inside something was off. A good friend of mine confessed that he had been feeling the same so he sought out professional help and he found Dawn. He had been working with her for a number of months and he said his mental state had improved greatly. So I finally came to a point where I needed to change or to pivot my trajectory and I realized trying to do it on my own was not going to work, I needed help. Overcoming the fear of how I may be perceived for talking with someone I reached out to Dawn. I will say before even talking with her I was already starting to feel relief for taking steps to heal myself. From our first session I felt empowered and Dawn really opened my eyes to the things standing in my way. There were things I incorrectly believed about myself and about the world. Working with her has given me the ability to zoom out and get a more real picture of my life, more awareness as she puts it. I am feeling more balanced after only a couple of months and she tells me I am progressing well and healing. This must be true because not only do I feel more at peace with myself and more clarity but people around the office have taken notice and commented on how I seem more free and relaxed. Life sure has improved with Dawn in it. If you are on the fence with this and not sure what to do I recommend you give her a call because it has changed my life. "If you are afraid and a little excited of your next move, it's probably the right one." Thanks Dawn! read more

Dawn was absolutely fantastic! I created a Yelp account just to come rate her a 5/5. She is super nice and friendly. The clinic is very spa-like and relaxing. I will definitely be back to see her again. read more

Something was missing in my life and i thought i would go to therapy which i have tried off and on throughout my life, but I knew that I needed something more. I heard about professional and personal life coaches and thought why not. I always knew that my personality would benefit from meditation, but never really did any. For years I would read about how to meditate and its benefits, but that was all. I looked up professional and personal life coaches and was drawn to Dawn. After seeing Dawn for a couple of months I have learned how to meditate and actually enjoy that time. I enjoy talking with Dawn. She really cares about you. Without going into details my life is just better since i have started seeing Dawn. Okay, I will share one detail -- I left a job I hated and found another. Someone recently asked me how i was doing and i said i am smiling more, having more fun in life, and more at peace. Thank you Dawn. read more

Dawn is amazing, very intuitive. While she is an excellent listener, she is usually able to figure out exactly what is bothering me without me saying a word. read more

Dawn is one of the most remarkable people I have ever met in my entire life. When I first moved to Chicago, I was so lost. I had just graduated from college and struggling to find my way. Dawn had taught me the powerful art of meditation and worked through past struggles that began to surface as an adult. I would highly recommend her to anyone for any issue big or small. With all the struggles I have faced in the past, there wasn't anything I felt had to keep from her or worried about being judged for, because she has seen it all. Dawn is an amazing healer and I am positive that she can help you become the best version of you, no doubt. read more

I haven't needed to see Dawn in quite some time. I'm able to move through most of my own healing crises on my own. However, I found myself 3 1/2 weeks into a an acute bout of bronchitis that literally wasn't moving from my lungs. I was getting very concerned about it turning into pneumonia. With the expansion of her practice to incorporate a new device called the NES scanner (I think) -- Dawn came to my rescue. This device is focused solely on frequency. After all, everything has a vibration and a frequency. And when disease sets in, that frequency can drop very significantly leaving us feeling the effects. Well, 3 weeks in, my lungs and ribs felt more bruised than ever. I believed I was only worsening my situation. It hurt to laugh, cough, talk... I was short of breath. So Dawn began to work "on my body" with the scanner. She was quick to comment on how tight my lungs and ribs were. It was as though I had "frequency knots." As she worked and worked on me, the tightness in my lungs, rib and chest began to take a journey as well as break up. We both watched it travel up my chest and into my throat. It was MAGICAL and astounding. I had a few coughing bouts that were pretty intense, but things were loosening. I could feel my vibration rising again. She continued working on my chest and throat, as well as the back of my chest and lungs. We finally finished a little work on my sinuses, because, believe it or not, that's where the congestion had moved to. In 30 minutes!! In 3 weeks, the congestion hadn't budged an INCH from deep in my chest. During the session, one of the coughing bouts caused an intense bruising around my left ribs. (worse than any I had accumulated that week.) Doing some research - I believe it felt like what is described as a contusion. We did some more work on that spot, but felt it needed some time to settle in. We agreed that I would ask my guides what this lesson was related to in order to help me understand and finally release it. The next morning, (Friday), I woke up feeling quite refreshed, but EXTREMELY sore in that one spot on my left rib. It was almost paralyzing. When I got home from work, I did an intense meditation where I asked my guides what this entire lesson was associated with. What came up for me was fear. Somewhat frightening memories from my childhood surfaced.. however, I thought, I don't remember these being THAT frightening or like they would have had such a lasting impact on me. And so I asked my guides... what do you want me to see? What do these memories have in common? And then they showed me. From my MOTHER's perspective. All the memories replayed with her fear attached to them. Fear for her child. And I saw that I had taken on that pain through the emotional cord and unspoken agreement we had between us. And of course it was on the left side of my body, which correlates with the feminine and mother energy. I had an intense wave of energy confirming the revelation that I was having from my guides. I thanked them, and spoke my intention that I was ready to let this go. I then went to an Akashic Gong Journey that evening (Friday still) at 7:30, where my intention was to continue releasing the fear of my Mother. Thanking it for all that it served me. When the journey was over, there was a time for questions. I asked the leader to ask the records if there was anything else I could do to release this. They said no, you have already released it. At this time, the disease is now just dissolving back into you from whence it came. This made perfect sense to me as it only confirmed how I was already feeling. This morning, Saturday, I woke up and felt considerably better in my ribs. It was still a bit difficult to move my left rib. However, I felt well enough to ride my bike to my friend's yoga class. We did a beautiful yoga class and a lot of stretches that opened up the rib cage. At the end, she asked us if we had any poses or requests. Out of my mouth came -- "full wheel" --which for those that don't know is a back bend. I normally DREAD this pose and would never ask for it. However, it's like my lungs and ribs spoke on my behalf. I went into the pose and was able to hold it longer than I ever had in my life (outside of childhood of course ;) breathing and healing my ribs and lungs. Something had completely moved and shifted and made more space for me to open my heart and chest!! Since class was over at 11, I haven't coughed really at ALL. I feel completely healed outside of a small soreness on all of my ribs but that has reduced in intensity by 75% just from YESTERDAY. I am well! I am healed. And Dawn, as always, was there to jumpstart my journey and my healing and help to move something that was really resistant to move. My healer. My friend. Namaste Dawn! So much love. read more

When receiving advice from friends or family is not enough seeking someone outside of your circle can be a good path. Dawn has been my life coach for a few months now and I am so grateful to have welcomed this intervention in my life. She focuses on ways to improve your quality of life and has shaped a better me. Improvement within has made a positive impact in my marriage as well. If you're like me, apprehensive at the idea of seeking some help, I would recommend giving it a shot. It never hurts to receive objective feedback from a professional who holds no judgement and empowers your decisions. read more

I came to Dawn months ago when I was completely ungrounded from a deal off livingsocial. I couldn't make decisions and I was just in a general fog. Dawn cleared all that away with reiki and completely de-stresses me everytime I go in. Her work is amazing and definitely makes you feel better; doesn't matter if it's a bad day/month/year whatever, she can make it better. I will continue going to her as long as I can! I encourage everyone to go and experience reiki/ medical qigong if you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or even depressed, it really helps! read more

Dawn provided the help I was looking for and more. I got to a point where I saw that I need help, I wasn't even sure what kind. It was half personal (life) half professional. I've heard about coaches and went to look for one to meet. I chose to see Dawn, because her message in her website seemed clear and sounded like something I can relate to. Reviews here in Yelp helped as well, since she has quite a big amount of outstanding reviews. I absolutely join to this happy crowd! I came with some points to discuss, but it was comforting to see that Dawn knows exactly what to focus on as she leads the conversation in the right direction. She asks the right questions and knows exactly what to say for whatever concern I have. She always provides an option for a solution but I also see how it is based on figuring out who I am and what works for me. I many times felt grateful for having a person like Dawn to talk to, especially when I've exposed my vulnerable sides - her reaction is always judgment free and reassuring. She is a professional. Most importantly, since our first meeting a couple months ago, I've experienced changes in my life. I've basically went for a promotion thanks to Dawn's encouragement. Before Dawn, I was not sure which direction I want to go and so was stagnant in my professional growth. Now I'm in a new job and am very, very pleased by this transformation. In my personal life, Dawn has helped me to see new sides of myself and new paths for personal growth. This is very exciting and I am very, very grateful for this. I am continuing to have sessions with Dawn as I feel it provides support on the path I've only started. I wish all interested could observe the faces of people leaving her office, because I've noticed about myself that I always leave with a satisfied smile on my face knowing that I've got some positive work to do. I hope everyone who is looking for help in self-realization and growth will have a chance to meet Dawn or as good a coach as she is! Anna read more

Dawn has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on my life. We first crossed paths in 2015 when I was going through a rough spot in my life and career. Desperate for answers to questions I wasn't able to put into words, Dawn helped me find self worth, and focus on the value I'm able to bring to my surroundings. I thought I knew what I wanted all along; turns out I did, but I was complicating everything along the path. My life is much more fulfilled than I ever thought it could be. Thanks Dawn. read more

excellent NMT in a peaceful setting. very attentive. not rushed.

I just got to town from a quick-decision move across country... after two weeks here, I'm uh... a little bit tight and stressed to say the least. After reading the other rave reviews on Yelp, I went to see Dawn yesterday. She was great, gave me some quick relief from the most troubling spots and some good advice. My only complaint is -- I would have liked to stay on her table for a few more hours! I'll be going back as soon as I can. read more

Dawn has been nothing but amazing. I had been hoping to leave my corporate job of three years and had no idea how to do so. Dawn made me feel like my dreams were possible and gave me tangible exercises to do to help me. After only one session with Dawn I had a new job, my "in my wildest dreams" job, due to Dawn putting me in contact with the right people and her coaching. She is the perfect person to see if you want to make a drastic change in your life and have no idea if it's possible or where to start. She'll always make you feel comfortable, and is extremely professional. She changed my life after one session, I can't say enough great things about her! read more

When I first met Dawn, I felt right at home. She has such a kind way of getting right to the core of things. After our first session, she asked if I was interested in hypnotherapy. I was pretty skeptical, but was blown away by the results! I found myself changing with ease, and was impressed by how I motivated I was to make the changes we had worked on. Thank you, Dawn!! read more

Dawn was exactly what the doctor, me in this case, ordered! I went in there with an open mind, knowing very little of her practices or what her therapies entailed. Right from the start Dawn was extremely personal and insightful while dealing with my specific needs. I have never met someone who genuinely cared about my personal well being as Dawn. I would recommend her to anyone who is wanting to figure out more about their spirituality and how it affects them as a person. You should be serious about your commitment though, Dawn is merely there as a guide. She will be with you as long as you need, but you must make a commitment as well! read more

At the suggestion of my career coach, I sought out an energy worker to help me break through to the next steps in my career. After reading Dawn's reviews, I decided to go in and give energy work a shot. I was not disappointed!! Dawn is an excellent therapist and I have been seeing her on a regular basis for life coaching/energy work for the past few months. We talk a bit and then she clears out any of my bad energy that is ready to go and welcomes new, positive energy in. She has been wonderfully supportive and has helped me get to the heart of what will really help me not only in my career, but also life in general. My friends and family can already sense a difference in my attitude and demeanor. Definitely give it a shot if you are stuck on anything and need a little support/boost! read more

Note that Dawn has moved to a new location--3047 N. Lincoln, 4th floor...Dawn pinpointed the exact spots that were causing pain and stiffness and worked out the knots as if by magic. She seems very intuitive. I felt better immediately. I only wish I had booked 90 minutes instead of 60. I want to make this a regular part of my life. It is well worth it! read more

Dawn is amazing. I always feel lighter after meeting with her. She has helped my marriage become stronger and more united. I am beginning to find my voice, both in my personal and professional life. Her energy is calming and peaceful. read more

Dawn is pretty incredible. I've never experienced teaching like this in my life. I went to her initially to help me sort out my career -- I'm finding that her teaching is not only helping me in my career but also in every aspect of my life. I see myself changing through her guidance and the work she has challenged me to do. It made me thankful that my job sucked so bad that it led me to her. She works wonders and I see things differently because of her. read more

Dawn is excellent at what she does, very smart, intuitive and extremely personable. Don't hesitate to make an appointment, you won't find anywhere better and you will be made to feel comfortable right away. read more

Doesn't waste time and knows how to pin point the issue.

Dawn embodies everything you could want out of an NMT! She is attentive and meticulous and really focuses on the individual needs of her clients. I took my mom to see her for her birthday and we were both very happy with our experience. She does a lot of pressure point work and really knows how to work through tight muscles. To be so small, she's incredibly strong! I would highly recommend Dawn and plan on seeing her again in the future! read more
