Dee Dawson

Dee Dawson is a registered midwife with over 27 years of experience. She has worked in multiple roles in New Zealand and the UK however her heart lies in West Auckland.

Her passion has always been in supporting birthing people to have a safe, holistic, loving experience however, she couldn't comprehend why people's experience of birth differed so enormously. Having a new understanding of how traumatic events affect how we experience the world, how we connect with each other, how we work, how we manage challenging situations, how we parent and how we feel about ourselves has been life-changing.  Like other health professionals, Dee thought Havening would add to her existing toolbox; however, it has brought monumental change to her life, practice, and clients.

While Dee continues to work part-time as a midwife, she has embarked on a new therapeutic practice with a midwife colleague (Willowtherapy.co.nz - website under construction). Together they offer Havening, specialising, but not limited to those affected by childbirth trauma. 

Dee brings a kind, loving and compassionate woman-centred wisdom to her therapy and is witnessing incredible results.
