Hi! I’m Dawn

Think of Me as Your

“Midwife For Your Mom-Life”!

Though I no longer attend births, I’m still a midwife in every sense—caring deeply for mothers in ways that go beyond just physical support. I bring the skills honed through years of midwifery care, combined with my training and experience as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, Matrescence & Motherhood coach, and sex educator and coach, plus 18 years of mothering four children.

I know the overwhelm, the frustration, the rage, and the disconnection—but I also understand the joy, love, and moments of awe that make Mothering such a wild rollercoaster experience.

I’ve been (and still am) there, and I’ve learned from it. I’ve seen and felt the essential need for the kind of coaching support I created. I’m here to offer compassionate guidance, comprehensive education, and practical tools to help you feel seen, heard, and supported—so you can thrive in your mothering journey.

    I get it—sex might be the LAST thing on your mind after having a baby. I’ve been there—feeling touched out, exhausted, and disconnected is common. I’ll help you understand the changes that make intimacy feel difficult after birth and guide you to reclaim pleasure, connection, and intimacy in ways that feel right for you. Together, we’ll create a plan of action that helps you feel in control of your body and your relationships again.

Because YOU

Deserve This Support

  • Dawn’s postpartum preparation coaching made all the difference with my second baby. After feeling completely overwhelmed and miserable the first time around, Dawn helped me create a realistic plan that eliminated many of the stressors I encountered with my first postpartum. With her guidance, I knew what to expect and how to ask for support, which made the transition so much smoother. I felt more confident, prepared, and in control. Postpartum is still hard no matter how much you prepares (Dawn told me this in out first session and I really appreciated her honesty in saying so) but I felt so much better this time around because I was prepared!

  • I’d been seeing a therapist for a while, but I didn’t feel like it was helping in the way I needed with my role as a mom. A friend recommended Dawn and I am so glad she did. Working with her has helped me understand so much more about me as a mom. I still see my therapist, but we work on different things that are not motherhood specific. I like Dawn’s practical, no-nonsense approach and that after each session she gives me specific things to work on to help me with the things I feel like I am having a hard time with, or need support with. She also always sends great resources. I recommend her to every mother I meet!

  • I had never even heard of Matrescence until I started working with Dawn. So many things I was feeling as a mom over the last year made sense after learning about Matrescence. I felt a sense of relief knowing how I felt was normal. She helped me learn things I feel like I should have been told about when I was pregnant but wasn’t.
