Through our coaching Dawn reminds me that I have the power to make changes in my life. She guides me towards healthy living and pushes me to be curious about paths I wouldn’t otherwise notice. She empowers me to be confidently authentic. I highly recommend Dawn as an empowerment coach.

This pandemic has taken a toll on me. I was set on an emotional roller coaster and my family had to deal with the brunt of it. It wasn’t fair to them and it was a daily challenge for me.
Shortly thereafter, Dawn at YesToLife Coaching was recommended to me.
Dawn offered me her listening, powerful questions, and amazing guided visualizations to center myself and help me discover what life values bring comfort and beauty to my world. I experienced her coaching regularly for over six months and every session left me feeling refreshed and renewed. I have learned and experienced a number of tools from Dawn to ground myself and live intentionally. She has walked me through every step at a pace that I set for every session. I have never been more aware of myself and my needs before. It has really been an incredible experience and I would wholly recommend her coaching services to anyone.

Working with Dawn and YesToLife Coaching has been a most profound experience for me--one that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Dawn has keen insight and extraordinary listening skills. Her calm demeanor put me at ease right from the start and enabled me to open up to her in ways I had never been able to do with anyone else. After 10 coaching sessions with Dawn, I have been able to overcome some lingering issues and move forward with courage and determination. Dawn's caring nature and authentic personality lends itself beautifully to the art of coaching. My investment was life-changing!
