Workplace Wellness
Let's cut through the wellness noise to create meaningful and effective employee wellness programs.
Creating a Workplace Culture of Well-Being
Helping organizations create workplaces where individuals can learn how to thrive
I’m not a fly-by-night wellness influencer or someone who woke up one day and decided to call myself a health coach. I’m the real deal.
My programs are grounded in well-being and public health frameworks to help organizations cultivate a culture of well-being where employees can be well and workplaces actively support their success.
My goal is for employees to leave each session with
greater self-awareness, expanded knowledge, and practical skills they can apply to create meaningful, sustainable behavior change. I aim to create learning experiences that are impactful enough that they feel inspired to share what they've learned with their colleagues, friends, and family.
With more than 20 years of experience in wellness and higher education, I bring expertise in public health, curriculum development, and group facilitation, along with a deep passion for helping people be well. As a board-certified wellness coach, I use the science of behavior change to create meaningful learning experiences that meet people where they're at.

After reviewing your submission, I'll follow up with information tailored to your organization's needs and goals. If it would be helpful, we can schedule meeting to discuss learning objectives, customization options, and the best approach for your employees.
Custom
Wellness Workshops
Using a well-being framework to help employees use a whole-person approach to caring for themselves
All offerings are available as standalone workshops or multi-session learning series that progressively build participants' knowledge, self-awareness, and skills. Each session is tailored to meet the unique needs of your employees and organization.
Workshop Topics Available:
Moving Towards Well-Being
Wellness and well-being are having a moment. This foundational program introduces participants to what it really means to be well. Participants will complete a personal wellness assessment that can be used as an ongoing check-in tool.
Growing a Stress Mindset
Stress is a natural part of being human. Together, we'll shift the conversation about stress from avoidance and fear to understanding and courage, helping participants develop a more supportive relationship with themselves and their stress. They will leave with practical coping strategies to move through life's challenges with greater ease, clarity, and confidence.
Becoming Emotionally Flexible
Many of us were taught to manage emotions by avoiding, suppressing, or controlling them. What if there was a different way? Discover how emotional flexibility can help navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and move toward what matters most.
Using Values as a Pathway to Well-Being
Explore how personal values influence well-being, decision-making, engagement, and workplace culture.
Setting and Sticking to Boundaries
Communication and setting boundaries are essential skills to enhance overall well-being and reach goals. Participants will explore what gets in their way of setting boundaries and how to build this skill to confidently express themselves as they set and stick to boundaries.
Self-Compassion: The Antidote to Perfectionism
Perfectionism depletes our resources - energy, time, relationships. There's another way. Self-compassion can help quiet the inner critic, break free from perfectionism, build the confidence to pursue what matters most, and ultimately save time and energy.
Setting Goals You're Ready to Meet
Goal setting workshops can be boring. Not this one! Explore the science of behavior change to set and start moving towards goals that are personally meaningful.
Understanding & Moving through Burnout
Burnout is more than an individual challenge. We'll explore the personal and organizational factors that contribute to burnout and identify meaningful ways to reduce overwhelm, restore energy, and create healthier, more sustainable workplaces.

Her sessions provide practical advice and actionable next steps that have deepened our teams' understanding of themselves, their wellbeing, and each other."

"Dawn’s presentation on stress was so well spoken and presented. She was vulnerable with us making it feel like she really cared about the topic and us as an audience."
— Participant Employee Wellness Workshop
"Having a chance to reflect on the differences between commercialized "self-care" versus "actual self-care" was helpful. The uncomfortable processes can lead to real change. I was shaking in my boots in the best way. I had to pause and ask myself some serious deal questions."

Benefits of Investing in Employee
Well-Being
Employees are craving opportunities to learn how to support their well-being
Let's be honest: today's workplace can be a challenging place. Employees' time, energy, and attention are being pulled in many directions as they work to care for themselves, support their families, navigate the needs of aging parents, build financial security, and find meaning and purpose in their work.
I am not just saying this. I hear it in almost every session I teach, regardless of the industry or audience. Employees consistently express appreciation for the opportunity to learn more about themselves, while also being amazed by just how much they are carrying and managing each day.
As a result, many employees are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and uncertain about how to move forward with greater ease, clarity, and confidence. This is why employee well-being matters. When people have the knowledge, skills, support, and resources to care for their well-being, they are better equipped to thrive both personally and professionally.
Workplace wellness matters because it helps create the conditions for people to flourish. When organizations intentionally support employee well-being, they foster healthier, more engaged employees while building a stronger, more connected workplace culture.
Ultimately, when your people are well, your organization is well.
