I've been where you are
tapped out & torn between love and exhaustion
Welcome to DAWN
If you're reading this, you're probably exhausted.
Not just tired, but soul-deep depleted from coordinating complex medical care while putting everyone else's needs before your own. Whether you're managing aging parents' healthcare, working as a professional caregiver, or navigating insurance mazes, you know what it feels like to lose yourself in the process.
I'm Dawn (yes, that's really my name), a Registered Nurse and Certified Case Manager with 28+ years of healthcare experience. I've been both the professional on the medical team AND the family member in the waiting room. I understand the weight you're carrying from both sides.
After caring for my mother through cancer to end-of-life and now supporting my oxygen-dependent aunt, I learned what no nursing school taught me: you can't provide sustainable care for others without caring for yourself first.
That's why I created the DAWN approach, not just support, but a path that addresses both the practical overwhelm of care coordination AND the personal burnout that comes with caregiving.
This is where you stop surviving and start thriving.
