Drawn to the unique ability to impact the quality of life through massage, I signed up for Massage Therapy School immediately following High School Graduation in 1996.  I have a passion to help others achieve pain free living through the art of touch.  


In 2014, I attended my first Myoskeletal Alignment Technique seminar and it has become my primary treatment tool in massage sessions. The focus is to understand muscle patterning through repetitive daily activities as well as the impact of injuries and surgeries to the body and treat the root causes for pain or movement dysfunction.  This allows me to have more impact in fewer sessions.

I have also increased my knowledge and experience with the impact of the emotional cellular memory in the body and energetic imbalances.  I have experienced the freedom and joys of releasing the old 'junk' and soaring to new levels of healing and restoration.  I am a Quantum Crystalline Energy Practicioner, and I offer Level I balancing.

My clients have become my biggest fan club and they are so pleased to the results we achieve together that they send all their friends and family to me for some time on my table.

I believe that the body is very powerful on its own and it craves healing and balance.  It is a joy for me to join you on your healing process and facilitate breakthroughs and increase.

Myoskeletal Alignment Technique Therapist

I attend workshops every year since 2014. I've been to Nashville, Boston, and Denver as well as watched hours of online education and have studied three of Erik Dalton's books. I integrated this technique into the majority of over 900 massage sessions last year alone.

Hot Stone Massage

Attended 16 hours of hands on training with Eric Stephenson at the beautiful Body Therapy Institute in Silk Hope, NC. I have been practicing hot stone massage since 2001. I now teach others the technique as Lead Therapist at Hand & Stone Massage Spa in Chapel Hill, NC.

Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa - Lead Therapist

Interview and Train new therapist in Hot Stone massage, as well as other spa techniques we offered including Hot Towel Cold Stone Facials, Hand and Foot Scrub Treatments, and Aromatherapy.

Quantum Cystalline Energy Healing Practitioner

Renata McConnell of Chapel Hill, NC developed and teaches this system. Similar to Reiki and Eden Energy Medicine, this system works with the intricate energy of the body to increase the vibration and through the use of a specifically attuned set of crystals placed over the energy centers of the body as quantum crystalline energy infuses the body.

Orthopedic Assessment and Treatment of Neck Injuries

Attended a live workshop taught by Dr . Ben Benjamin. Workshop Overview: Cervical Anatomy, Anatomy Palpation, History Taking and Referred Pain, Assessment Testing, Theory, Myofascial Techniques, Ligament Friction Therapy, Muscle Energy Techniques, Active Isolated Stretching We use these principles and techniques to effective evaluate neck injuries to rule out soft tissue injuries in the muscle and ligaments of the cervical spine versus more serious underlying disc issues then treat common neck injuries just as whiplash.

Facial Movement Taping Practitioner

Orthopedic Assessment and treatment using kinesiology tape to improve performance and mobility as well as reduce inflammation, edema and pain. The tape is a woven cotten blend that stretches lengthwise to create lifting of the soft issue. Once applied, it can be worn for 5 to 7 days while you go about your normal daily activities (including showering and exercise) before removing, or until it falls off.

She listened to what I wanted done and the areas I requested and worked directly on the areas of concern as well as adjusting pressure to my needs . She did not argue her opinion or decide to do her own version. She has a very soft demeanor. Thanks Dawn!

Dawn took the time to hear what my issues were. Then explained the techniques that she would be using prior to starting the massage. I had immediate relief from the symptoms I was exhibiting. It’s been a couple days now and I still feel really good. I would highly recommend Dawn and Holistic Healing Experiences for your next massage treatment.

Giving me some of the science behind the things she knew could help me and also just how easy going Dawn was with meeting me for the first time.
