We begin with a brief, no-pressure conversation about your child, your concerns, what you have already tried, and whether Spectrum may be a good fit.
Dawn's Story
A Mother’s Search.
A Scientist’s Determination.
A Family’s Miracle.
Although I have professional training in psychology, services provided through Spectrum Integrative Wellness are offered solely in my role as an Integrative Health Coach and are not psychological services.
As both a mother and a psychologist, I knew I was already doing much of what my professional training had prepared me to do. Yet I knew some researcher somewhere must have figured out how to help with at least some of my children's symptoms, even though at the time I did not hear anyone discussing the possibility of recovery from autism.
That realization led me to begin looking beyond behavior alone. I became determined to understand what underlying factors might be contributing to my children's challenges and what might support their overall health, development, and well-being.
I immersed myself in research, exploring nutrition, lifestyle factors, environmental influences, emerging wellness approaches, and later, advances in genetics and nutrigenomics. My goal was not simply to manage symptoms but to better understand what might help my children thrive and reach their fullest potential.
Over time, I witnessed remarkable improvements within my own family. What began as a search for ways to help my children with severe challenges—including mutism, head-banging, frequent meltdowns, lack of eye contact, and high-risk impulsive behaviors—ultimately became a journey that exceeded anything I thought possible.
As my children healed, I watched them progress through profound autism, then through ADHD-related challenges, and eventually into a level of health, communication, connection, and functioning that once felt almost impossible to imagine.
While I cannot predict outcomes for any individual child, and every child's path is unique, my family was blessed to experience what I consider a miracle: my children progressed from profound autism, through ADHD-related challenges, and ultimately into a level of health and functioning I once could barely imagine. That experience transformed my perspective and ultimately shaped the work I do today with other families seeking answers, clarity, and hope.
