Erica Dawson, Holistic Health Practitioner, ABMP Certified Somatic Therapist, and CA Certified Massage Therapist
I am a former foster child, Navy veteran, and mother. My journey into holistic health began when I was a teenager, when I found solace and comfort in the healing touch of my adoptive mother after an unstable early childhood. My curiosity led me to seek out massage as a young adult and I experienced a variety of healing modalities and massage during my travels with the Navy. I eventually settled into this path in 2010 when I began my training at International Professional School of Bodywork, which was located in San Diego, CA. After almost a decade of operation in a chiropractic office, I am now offering mobile holistic health services in the greater East Bay area of California.
My decade-plus journey of self-healing and walking alongside others on their journeys has had a profound impact on my life. I am an avid supporter of wage equity, human rights, ending the prison pipeline, and Healthcare For All. I believe that housing, food, education, and art are integral and necessary components for a healthy society and regularly donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center and Equal Justice Initiative.
I am a mother of one, regularly go hiking (with poles to protect my knee), and have a Psychiatric Service Dog outside of work. I am a fairly open book and believe that trust in healthcare is a two-way street, so please feel free to ask me more about my life. I look forward to connecting with you!
