TESTIMONIALS

" I am looking forward to returning home and finding all the foods you mentioned in your talk and including them in my plan for improving my health." Anna
"Dawn has been such a positive presence in my life since I started seeing her over a year ago. When I first came to her I was in a dark place, dealing with addiction, crippling anxiety, panic attacks, and a number of other health concerns. Through a combination of targeted supplements, herbs, focusing sessions, and regular acupuncture, she has helped me back to a place of balance, where I now feel healthy and happy. I continue to see Dawn for regular acupuncture which has been a stabilizing force in my life. Her holistic approach to care has been refreshing at a time when many physicians seem to focus on the symptoms rather than the root cause of illness. Dawn is welcoming, compassionate, and knowledgeable, and my trust and appreciation for her continue to deepen. I feel so lucky to have found her!" Chelsea
I started seeing Dr. Dawn Flynn to help with my fertility and continued through my entire pregnancy. Dawn’s holistic approach to treatment and knowledge of natural medicine is better than any I’ve ever experienced. She took the time to listen, truly cares and makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend Dawn for anyone considering acupuncture or treatment options as an alternative or complement to western medicine. Fallon
"I have been seeing Dawn Flynn for acupuncture treatments over the past few months. The reason for my visits was due to suffering from severe headaches for more than 30 years and no other treatments helping, i.e. physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic treatments, diet changes and prescription pain killers. Nothing had helped reduce the number or frequency of the headaches." "Dawn has been a great listener to my issues and has treated me with the appropriate methods for me to realize steps to be taken to mitigate the pain besides the acupuncture treatments. She has a very gentle and kind approach to her work. This has been one of the best courses of action I have taken in my many years of suffering from these debilitating headaches. I feel that she genuinely cares about my well being." Maggie
" While at the retreat, I used a glucose meter to measure my blood sugar levels. My doctor told me to keep eating the way I was eating at the retreat because my levels have never looked so good." Sarah
" I now know how to attend to my gut health, especially when I have had a medical treatment that may negatively impact my microbiome. I truly got so much out of the retreat and am easily implementing what I learned daily." Elanore
