Meet Your Facilitator

Sometimes life doesn’t crack you open to break you —
it cracks you open to set you free.

Hi, I'm Christie Dawn.

I've always been a little bit of the black sheep — someone who felt deeply, questioned things, and wanted to understand what was happening beneath the surface.

Like many of us, I spent years trying to make life fit the way I thought it was supposed to look. Marriage, motherhood, relationships, work, and all the unexpected experiences along the way became some of my greatest teachers.

In 2018, a car accident changed the direction of my life. Years of chronic pain, personal challenges, and learning to advocate for myself led me to question my patterns, beliefs, boundaries, and what it really means to feel safe and connected within myself.

That curiosity opened the door to years of exploration — from Reiki, somatic work, Yoga Nidra, breathwork, meditation, movement, and restorative practices to travel, workshops, ceremonies, and personal reflection.

My formal training includes Reiki, Yoga Nidra, and Psychodynamic Somatic Life Coaching, alongside years of lived experience and ongoing learning.

For a long time, I was gathering tools, experiences, knowledge, and pieces of myself.

Now, I'm learning to integrate them.

Because understanding yourself and actually living what you've learned are two very different things.

I still get triggered. I still make mistakes. I still have habits I'm working on.

I'm not sharing from the other side of being human. I'm sharing from inside it.

And that is where The Soul School began.

A space inspired by my own journey, created to offer opportunities for rest, movement, reflection, self-discovery, and reconnection.

I don't believe any one teacher, practice, or tool holds all the answers. I believe we learn through experience, question what doesn't resonate, and gradually discover what genuinely supports us.

The Soul School is an invitation to slow down, become curious, and come home to yourself.

I'm still learning. Still practicing. Still becoming.

And that is part of the point.

Warmly,

Christie Dawn
