I’m Dawn- a Certified Nurse Midwife, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and a mom of four (ages 6-19). For more than a decade, I’ve sat with mothers through every season of their lives: pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.

What I’ve witnessed is this: our society does not value mothers and our healthcare system prioritizes profit before people. This leaves mothers unseen, unheard, and unsupported. Appointments are rushed, symptoms are minimized, and mothers are told to “suck it up” rather than offered real care.

I created Matricentric Health & Well Care to be different. Here, your experience as a mother isn’t an afterthought, it’s the foundation. My approach combines clinical expertise with deep respect for your story, your body, and your matrescence (the transformation of becoming and being a mother).

This is health and well care that values comfort, dignity, and truth. That means cozy exam rooms, conversations that go deeper than a checklist, and care that looks at the whole you — mind, body, and motherhood.

I believe mothers deserve more than the bare minimum. You deserve care that sees you, hears you, and puts you first.
