Participant Responses
Ms. Nelson has given several in-service trainings to our staff members and a stress reduction workshop to our family support group. She is able to relate to whatever “audience” she faces on their terms and applies her knowledge and experience to individual needs. I recommend Ms. Nelson’s services to other facilities with highest regard.
B. Allen, Executive Director, Multi-Level Care Facility
Dawn Nelson, CMT, MFA, has conducted several training sessions for our volunteers and helped them learn new and innovative skills. Dawn has brought refreshing perspectives and new ideas to our entire staff during off-site events. We have been deeply moved by her sensitive presentations.

Thank you so much for the wonderful seminar at Hearthstone. Your program, your heart, your work and your love are unsurpassed.

Dawn provided a series of in-services for our staff in conjunction with our Care Of the Dying Program. The knowledge shared and her gentle presentations were pure gift. The sessions proved to be both professionally and personally helpful to all the participants, especially those who provide hands on care.
