Dawn started her career as a therapist after receiving her first Masters of Arts from Hazeden Graduate School. For seven years she treated men and women with addiction and mental health issues at Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, Pride Institute and Lino Lakes Prison. Through her work in the mental health system she discovered that she wanted to incorporate a more holistic approach to her patient care.  She decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine from Northwestern Health Sciences University. She is board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and licensed by the Minnesota State Medical Board. She has experience in giving acupuncture treatments at Salvation Army, Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Center, Penny George Institute for Health and Healing, Fairview Hospital, Bloomington Natural Care Center, and Pathways Health Crisis Resource Center.  In addition to treating women’s health issues she has a special interest in working with male factor infertility.
