Founder. Coach. Disruptor. Dawn is the Director of Whole Life Solutions, and an executive, career transition, and relationship coach, who supports individuals through life’s major transition points. For over a decade, she has served as a career transition coach for hundreds of professionals and a premarital counselor who has worked with nearly 1000 couples. She has also spent years studying the neuroscience of habits and change and how men and women are wired to process, communicate, and make decisions differently. When the pandemic hit, Dawn began hearing from more and more couples in crisis, and decided to bring together the emotional safe space and neutrality of traditional couples counseling with the solutions-based tools of coaching to offer a shorter-term, neuro-science based alternative to traditional couples counseling. Dawn has spoken at conferences, panels, and events across the country with clients including Vistage, Creative Mornings, ORACLE, WeddingWire World, NACE, ILEA, WIPA, the Society for Simulation in Health Care, UCLA, Intrepid Health, VISTAGE, the Georgia Hospital Association and UNICEF. She is also a single mom to two Awesomers, and ever-perfecting her double-chocolate buttercream cupcakes. She wakes up every day grateful to do the work she loves.
