Dawn’s Glow Collaborative was founded to hold space for the people who hold so much for others. Inspired by the quiet strength of a rising sun, we believe transformation happens in safe, co-created spaces, through compassion, embodiment, and community.

Rooted in Care & Community
After more than a decade in veterinary medicine, holding space for others through long days, deep losses, and quiet grief, I found myself craving something gentler. I spent years leading teams, mentoring clinicians, and advocating for systemic change in healthcare, but what I needed most was space to reconnect with myself. Dawn’s Glow Collaborative emerged from that turning point - a desire to reimagine healing not as "fixing" and resolving never to deal with again, but as an ongoing remembering.
Remembering that we’re human, we’re worthy, and we don’t have to do it alone.
Today, I build collaborative spaces that center rest, resilience, and real connection, especially for veterinary professionals and those in caregiving and helping professions. Through peer support groups, somatic practices, and community-based programs, I invite you to come together, soften, reflect, and glow again.
