A Little About Dawn Paulson, Founder

With over twenty-five years of experience as a healthcare practitioner, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families thrive. My approach is creative and holistic, and I intuitively bring an integrated perspective to my work. 

Clients describe me as an insightful communicator, a compassionate space holder, and an enthusiastic cheerleader for change—often all at once! My style is direct yet collaborative, playful yet professional.

I’ll challenge you to step outside your comfort zone (because that is where the growth happens) and support you through the process, making sure to find joy and laughter along the way.

Balancing Act Collective's Services

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING

Every superpower has its own kryptonite, and neurodiversity is no exception. Although neurodiverse individuals often exhibit brilliant and creative thinking, everyday tasks such as time management, organization, prioritization, and self-regulation are sometimes a real struggle.

CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle form of bodywork that releases tension in the fascia that surrounds your muscles, organs, nerves, blood vessels, brain, and spinal cord. Because the body is an interconnected web, relieving tension in one area can enhance the functioning of your entire system.
