Meet Dawn Preisendorf, MA, CNC, CHWC
Functional Nutritionist / Mindful Nature Guide / Wellness Coach

21I free people from low energy and digestive distress. I combine principles of Functional Medicine and Holistic Nutrition to uncover the root causes of why you're not feeling as well as you'd like. Once we understand the root causes, we harness the healing power of food, nature and joy to reclaim health.

I use a personalized, integrative, results-oriented approach, but we'll only move as fast as you (and your body) want to. I feel proud that through working with me, clients are able to solve health problems that have plagued them for months, if not decades. By being thoughtful about what actions taken to re-balance the body, symptoms disappear. People are able to transcend their health problems, instead of "managing" them. This opens up new possibilities in their lives, and enables them to pursue dreams that were previously out of reach.

I began studying nutrition and holistic health 21 years ago. Unwinding years of living an over-stressed, under-nourished life in the corporate trenches, I worked through my own health crash and found vitality again. I followed this personal experience with formal education, and earned a master’s degree in holistic health education and nutrition from John F. Kennedy University. I also completed two health/wellness coaching programs, and am a Certified Wellcoach. I am completing my board certification in holistic nutrition. I became a certified Hormone Cure Practitioner after participating in a 9-month Women's Health program with Dr. Sara Gottfried. I have also completed more than 120 hours post-graduate of training in functional nutrition. I am a member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals and the Institute for Functional Medicine.

"Dawn changed my life!  I suffered from IBS for the last 20 years. Six months later, the results are spectacular and totally exceeding even my wildest expectations.  I am a totally different person. I am IBS free (OMG, I still can't believe it). Not only that, I have less body aches.  I am less tense and feel much more at peace.  Dawn is so knowledgeable, supportive, caring and thorough." ~Jean

What Our Clients are Saying

"I have struggled with digestive issues for decades. I've been through many different diets and practitioners, and Dawn is the first person to truly listen to me and not try to push a solution that seems like a catch-all for lots of people."

"I was exhausted. I had lost vitality and interest in things that used to bring me joy. My digestion was a mess and constant struggle. Dawn offered warmth, compassion and genuine empathy that is unmatched by anyone. After working with Dawn, I was a new person. My energy had returned, my digestion was back on track and most importantly, I had answers and tangible solutions for the issues that had been burdening me for so long."
