Dawn also enjoys out-of-the-office events for athletes, and has provided massage to local races, including the IronMan in Lake Placid, the Tour of the Battenkill, and the Cherry Blossom Festival 5K Race for ALS. Prior to Massage Therapy, Dawn enjoyed careers as a Mental Healthcare Administrator, Kindermusik Teacher, Consultant, and Bookkeeper.
