Reviews 

Dawn is wonderfully intuitive about the body and what it needs to heal and feel whole. I highly recommend her as a bodyworker. She is gifted, personable, generous and knows how to free the body’s energy. She is a great asset to her field. 

~ Kathy G.

I realized I was completely attached to trying to be perfect in all areas of life. This was a huge awakening for me. I started allowing myself to put me first, to listen to my soul, and to let “my best” be good enough. Working with Anne taught me that I have the ability to bring about any change that I desire - enjoyably and effortlessly. Now I feel safe to shine my light out into the world and be me.

~ Annabella

What an empowering journey!!! After all the self-help spiritual work I have done over the last 25 years, nothing really touched the depth of self-forgiveness and how it relates to manifesting in the way this 6 week journey did for me. It gave me the powerful enlightenment to what it means to be truly forgiving to myself! The layers keep revealing and healing. I feel light and free. It has given me such clarity of purpose!  Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful light with the world, Anne!

~ Charlene

Through her skill in deep massage, insight into the chakras and wonderful humor Dawn guided me to higher levels of performance and connection. Truly a joy-filled experience! 

~ Kathleen K.

I started working with Anne because I was struggling with a lack of clarity around my business. But through the process of working on that, I realized how disconnected I truly was from my soul’s desires. My biggest shift in thinking was realizing that I am worthy of being seen and heard - and now I feel more connected to my greatness! This journey has been the most significant work that I have done, EVER.

~ Brenda R.

Hawaii has a primal energy to enliven naturally.
