You don’t have to go it alone…

The business of mental health is not something we’re taught in grad school.

Virtual Offerings

Supporting clients in larger bodies

Anti-fat bias is normalized in the field of mental health. This training is available for group practices & organizations to explore body-based bias, to increase competency around eating disorders for people who are fat, and to learn practical tools for reducing harm while working with clients in larger bodies.

Sex: What they didn’t teach you in grad school

Therapists & counsellors are expected to support a wide range of sexual needs, conflicts, and desires with very few tools with which to do it in a non-stigmatizing, client-centric, radical way. This workshop will offer your team a chance to learn, practice, and normalize a wide range of sexual health needs.

Exploring Body Trust

How we feel about our body as a clinician has a significant impact on the way we show up for our clients around their relationship with food, body, and self. As a certified Body Trust Provider, Dawn will guide your team in exploring their own relationship with body trust while providing a range of practical tools that can be used to support their clients.

Hourly professional consultation services include:

Client Consults
