Seminars
Mindfulness ~ Balance ~ Self-care
These are the buzzwords of today’s workforce. We are bombarded with texts, with emails. People come to us demanding answers. How can we manage?
With 20 years of Town Clerk experience, Dawn can relate to the hectic, demanding needs of the workplace. After almost 25 years of studying Acupressure, Reflexology, and Energy Medicine, she has realized these ancient practices have an effect on our mind and body. This is what we know as our fight-flight-freeze response or in medical terms, the SNS (sympathetic nervous system). The key to Dawn’s seminars is to show ways to calm ourselves quickly without anyone noticing using subtle tapping on the hand, specific holds with our arms and diaphragmatic techniques with our breath. All proven methods to activate the PNS (parasympathetic nervous system): the calm side of our brain.
Introducing herself, Dawn speaks about her medical issues she had in 2002, including migraines, chronic pain, imbalanced thyroid. Today she has no symptoms. She attributes her health, her high energy to the daily practice of Eden Energy Medicine.
“[Dawn is] always fantastic as a presenter. I never want to miss one of [her] sessions. The last exercise with the lights low really got to me. Thanks for all [she does] to continue to support Municipal Clerks.”
“You always present such great information that is tangible and applicable for us. So glad you could be part of the program. ”
— Kathy Montejo, MMC, RP, City Clerk & Registrar of Voters, City of Lewiston, ME and Region I Director for IIMC (International Institute of Municipal Clerks)
Dawn’s Approach to Seminars
Dawn’s style is to translate these protocols into easy, simple ways that people can use at work (or home). These techniques can help manage anger, reduce anxiety and stress. They are effective in shifting our mind to a calm state. The result is balanced energy in the workplace, more productivity and a more focused outlook. Dawn’s life changes since her medical issues and the testimony of her private clients and seminar attendees are a testament to its effectiveness.
Know your audience.
Present material which is easy to learn and share with your staff or administration back at the office.

Keep it simple.
