MATRICENTRIC
MUSINGS
AKA OUR BLOG
I’m Dawn, a Certified Nurse Midwife, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am also a mom of four, with 19 years of mothering experience. I’ve spent over a decade supporting women and mothers professionally, through every phase of life, from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.
My work is holistic and rooted in matriarchy, a model of care that honors women’s wisdom, centers mothers’ lived experiences, and values care as the foundation of a healthy society. I approach motherhood as both a rite of passage and a radical act of creation, guided by the principles of social and reproductive justice.
I believe healthcare should honor the full person, not just their symptoms, and that mothers deserve care that reflects their humanity, dignity, and complexity. Through Matricentric Health & Well Care, I’ve created a space for evidence-based, holistic, and mother-centered care that fills the gaps our healthcare system so often leaves behind.
Whether I’m writing, teaching, or sitting with someone one-on-one, my mission remains the same: to make mothers feel seen, heard, and supported in every season of their becoming.
