At The Dawning Institute, we are embarking on a transformative journey toward holistic wellness, where healing transcends mere physical health to encompass the entire being; body, mind, and spirit. Our innovative approach recognizes that true wellness is not just the absence of illness but a harmonious balance that nurtures every aspect of an individual's life. By providing tailored programs and resources, we empower individuals to confront and overcome life's challenges with resilience and grace. Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone possesses the innate capacity for healing; our role is to guide them in discovering their own strengths while fostering a supportive community. Through workshops, therapies, and personalized coaching, we create an environment where individuals can thrive and awaken their full potential. At The Dawning Institute, we envision a world where holistic healing becomes a way of life, inspiring each person to embrace their journey towards wholeness with courage and hope.
Kathryn Annis is the heart and mind behind The Dawning Institute, a holistic wellness initiative born from her passion for uniting body, mind, and soul through transformative healing.
The Dawning Institute holds a profound, personal significance for me, tied to my birth name, Dawn, in honor and memory of my late father, a gentle, kind soul whose gregarious laughter could light up any room. Although I changed my name in 2013, I chose to embrace "Dawn" in the institute’s name as a tribute to him, capturing the warmth, joy, and hope he brought into my life. The word "dawning" felt perfect, symbolizing renewal, a fresh start, and the vibrant spirit he encouraged me to embrace.
Every aspect of The Dawning Institute reflects my father’s presence: his laughter, filling spaces with joy, inspires the welcoming and uplifting environment we strive to create. His kindness and gentleness shape our approach, while his strength as a provider and protector reinforces our commitment to offering a safe, inclusive space for healing. Through this institute, I aim to extend his legacy of warmth, joy, and compassion, supporting others on their path to wholeness with the same light and strength he brought into the world.
