Meet Dawn Gaden | Owner of Mind Body Counseling & Coaching, and self image expert

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dawn Gaden and we’ve shared our conversation below.

What should our readers know about your business?
As a licensed counselor, I am also certified in complementary medicine and wellness. Since the beginning of my career, I had a passion for understanding the connection of mind-body-spirit. By eliminating panic attacks with meditation, I discovered first hand how my thoughts and emotions were impacting my physical being. And I learned how to interrupt the negative feedback loop that was getting in the way of my happiness and health. After two decades of working with clients and seeing the success through the tools I was teaching – and their personal dedication to creating positive change – it was time to take the next step. I created a group coaching program focused on helping creatives align heart, body and mind, break through blocks and step into their power. I don’t believe any entrepreneur can say that success came easy. And the mistakes, mishaps and missed opportunities are what makes the success, wins and opportunities even more worth savoring. Challenges can only be overcome in one way – passion and support (ok, thats two!) My network and community is what helps me keep the passion alive. Having a team to cheer you on when the flame is about to go out, and knowing when to pause, reset and reignite the passion key. My coaching program, The Image Shift is not just for my clients. I learned a lot about my values, what fuels me and how to live my best life during the creation of the program. Shifting into your best self takes insight, desire and of course the willingness to adventure into a new life! When we release blocks, gain clarity, and take inspired action, we align with our highest good. One of my favorite tools that I introduce to my clients is a unique practice called intenSati. This mind, body, spirit practice combines movement, mantras, and meditation. Its the opportunity for you to practice what success feels like – what it feels like to love your life, feel empowered and take inspired action every day!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I live in a beautiful area in Michigan that has tons of trails, lakes and hot spots to visit. One of my favorite cities is Ann Arbor. We would head there for lunch at the Detroit Filling Station for the best vegan lunch in town. Of course that would be after visiting the local market and gathering up some fresh veggies, sourdough bread and sweets for a fantastic dinner. During my friends visit, we would take a road trip to Lake Michigan and walk the beach for hours, watch the sunset and head into town for dinner. Saugatuck is one of my favorite beach towns on Lake Michigan. Of course we would grab our bikes and take the trail through the dunes. Nature is where my heart sings and I connect with my hearts calling. And to end our trip, we would find the local yoga studio and take a class to savor the final moments of ease and joy.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d love to shout out to The Collier Collective, Tommy Collier and Manifesting with Friends. The partnership, support and community with MwF provides a space to network and build our genius and connect with like minded, heart-centered people.
