Hot Mess and Healing
My Mission
I am a New York State Certified Peer Specialist and a fully certified Clinical Somatics Educator through the Somatic Movement Center. My extensive training spans multiple mind-body practices, including certifications in somatic art therapy and various other somatic modalities. Having navigated both sides of the recovery experience, I bring profound empathy and lived wisdom to my work. I am dedicated to helping you reclaim your autonomy, agency, and self-acceptance through an honest, transparent healing process. By fostering community and delivering true trauma-informed care, I aim to empower you to integrate mind, body, and spirit on your own unique journey. When I'm not helping you on your healing journey or working on my own, I enjoy making art, dancing, listening to 90s pop, and reading Peter Swanson novels. You can often find me relaxing on my deck by the water, watching Downton Abbey, or spending quality time with my three beloved cats: Dobby, Tallulah, and Mr. Thomas Barrow. You are leading this healing journey. Focus only on the Hot of your messy healing path! Sending You Love & Light, Dawnna
