Birth + Motherhood | Ceremony + Community | Birth Trauma Repair | Art

I want you to experience the transformative power of birth and be guided by the spiritual practice that is motherhood.

Birth changes us. Unfortunately, there is too much trauma in birth today! It is as unnecessary as it is pervasive. And the harms ripple out through society. I want your birth to be different, to transform you in an empowering way. But being moved means we must be curious, we must be available to being changed, and we need to be supported through every step of the process. Birth is an undoing. The integration - the putting back together in a new way - must come in and through community.

Sacred Rhythms could be that community for you.

Are you ready to claim your power through birth?
Join us in class, circle, ceremony or for a private session.

  • Dawn creates beautiful, safe, and healing spaces for mothers on their journey through pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. I attended her prenatal yoga classes almost every week in my second and third trimester and have attended her childbirth workshop and mothers' circle. I had a peaceful, empowered birth thanks to the mental, physical, and spiritual preparation from Dawn's classes and have continued to foster a community with other mothers while prioritizing my mental and spiritual health as a new mom. Thank you, Dawn!!!

  • I met with Dawn for a reiki session recently and it was my first time experiencing reiki. Dawn is so generous with her presence and time. I experienced her work as gentle and so grounded. Going in I wasn't sure what to expect and she was wonderful in guiding with clarity. I will certainly love to work with her again.

  • I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the most amazing time I’ve had attending your yoga classes through my pregnancy. I thought they would get more challenging the more pregnant I got, but it turns out I was getting stronger the whole time. I am so so thankful for you and the work that you do. It turns out the timing of my package was absolutely perfect because last night I gave birth to my little girl!! I looked over at my husband last night and said “I’m so sad I won’t get to go to yoga tomorrow night” haha. Thank you so much for everything!! You are amazing and wonderful and such a gift to the community.

  • I started taking Dawn's prenatal yoga class soon after finding out we were expecting again after having experienced a miscarriage six months prior. I knew I needed to take action and up my self care this time. Dawn's class and services allowed me to take a big step in that direction. Every week Dawn would lead us into an immersive experience that addressed our physical, emotional and spiritual journey as expecting and new mothers. I so valued and needed this time after a stressful workday. Dawn's classes always stayed with me after each session and I give credit to her guidance and approach for opening me up to face fears and make difficult decisions that have allowed me to be the mother I wanted to become. I knew I was interested in postpartum belly-binding, so it was great to know that Dawn would be able to provide that service as well! I am so grateful for the path that Dawn's services cleared for us as we became new parents. We can't thank you enough, Dawn!

  • Dawn does a fantastic job tailoring her class to what her participants need. Her experience as a birth doula and a mother herself means she's been there, felt that, and can guide you through what you need to feel grounded, confident, and physically well during your pregnancy. I loved her classes and will definitely be back.

  • I took Dawn's prenatal yoga class from the mid first trimester to birth and loved every one. The positions, visualizations, meditations and breathing exercises were great for my first time mom worries, busy mind and strange body aches. Dawn individualized the the sequences based on my (and other mamas') needs/trimesters and I felt good, mentally and physically after each class. These classes definitely helped me prepare for a satisfying birth experience and gave me better techniques to face the challenges and general stresses that came with my pregnancy. The postpartum classes are great too its just harder to get to those with a new baby!

    Cindy Flowers

  • Thanks Dawn for your wonderful spiritual healing work. I have had a trial to beat all and I don't know how I would have managed with out you. ~Thank you for everything!!

Why you don’t need ceremonial plant medicine
Community, Fertility

I know of a Feminine, earth-based spiritual practice that is accessible in our daily lives, moment by moment. It does not require special equipment or tools or setting.

This medicine is anti-capitalist, deeply Feminine, ecological and community-oriented. It is the deepest level of self care you can practice.

Your menstrual cycle is your medicine. You are the medicine!

Holding the Bones

There is a somatic practice that I have learned called Holding the Bones. This is an intimate practice where I hold your pelvis while attending to the difficult emotions that have been stored there. Holding the Bones is a subtle, gentle birth trauma repair practice.

There are many benefits to practicing yoga in general. And these benefits are even more specific to practicing prenatal yoga. Some of the benefits are quantifiable through research studies. And since yoga is an ancient science, there are probably many more benefits to our lives that the yogis noted than our modern medicine can quantify.
