Hey Friend, You've Arrived
You’ve made the very important decision to cut alcohol out of your life & that’s a big step! For some, it’s a long winding path to get here, and for others it’s a sudden rock-bottom that forces them to re-evaluate immediately. But…no matter what your journey has looked like , the good news is that you’ve arrived. You’ve arrived at this new place, full of possibility.
But...Sobriety Isn't Always Easy
Sure, the hangovers are gone, and you’re saving money without all those wine or booze runs, but if you’re being honest…something still feels “off”. It’s almost like you’re faced with a whole new set of challenges now that you’re sober.
Because without alcohol you...
Find it harder to relate with the people around you
Feel uncomfortable in your own skin
Have unpleasant thoughts bubble up from the past
Argue more often with loved ones
Crave sugar & junk food like never before
Because without alcohol you...
Chances are you can relate to some of the things my clients have shared:
“People said life would be better once I stopped drinking. It’s been a year since I’ve had a drink and I’m still struggling with depression and I don’t know why..”
“I’m pretty sure I was drinking to cope with underlying issues, but I don’t know where to start when it comes to healing mental health problems, and dealing with past trauma. It all sounds kind of abstract to me.”
“I miss having an escape. I don’t want to go back to drinking, but I sometimes worry that I will if I can’t find another release.”
“I’m worried life will feel like this forever. And that scares me more than anything else. I’m not happy this way, and I can’t go on like this forever"
“I mostly keep to myself at home, because being social stresses me out, but part of me feels lonely and wishes I could connect more easily with others.”
“I wish I could just feel grateful for sobriety & be happy with this new life. But I just can’t. Things actually feel terrible.”
Whether you’re one month sober, or have a whole year under your belt, these feelings are common.
And...While Traditional Recovery Programs Are Helpful...
They Aren't a "Cure All"
- Your doctor suggests antidepressants or anxiety meds
- Your spouse suggests looking into a therapist or recovery coach
- Your coworker swears by acupuncture, yoga & supplements
- Your neighbor mentioned an herbal tincture you can't seem to find
- Your sister says cutting out gluten changed her life for the better
It can be enough to make your head spin. And honestly, if hitting a yoga class each Saturday and eating less bread was the magic trick, you’d do it, but somehow you feel like there’s a more…grounded approach to be had. 😏
You need something or someone that will:
- Help you sort through your options
- Meet you where you’re at with personalized support
- Be realistic about your existing commitments & responsibilities
- Help you dig into the reasons you were drinking in the first place
- Understand what it’s like to go through addiction
- Help you heal on a physical and emotional level
- Help you make a clear plan of action
Because at the end of the day…
You Just Want to Feel...
alive again
Joyful, Energetic, Inspired, Fulfilled & Peaceful
You absolutely can!
While I know it may feel impossible right now, you can absolutely build a life where you can:
- Laugh easily & smile regularly
- Make peace with your past self & life
- Enjoy intimacy & closeness to others
- Find gratitude & sensuality in everyday life
- Live comfortably, free of mental torture
- Feel connected, spiritually + emotionally

three key components
Based on 20+ years of experience helping women heal, I’ve found that there are three components that lead to deeper healing & restoration in early recovery.
1. Trauma-Informed
Support
2. Naturopathic
Medicine
3. Bodymind Practices
Trauma-Informed Support
The science is clear when it comes to addiction and trauma. They’re undeniably connected. In fact, more than 90% percent of women seeking treatment for substance use report a history of trauma. This is why working with a trauma-informed practitioner is so incredibly helpful in early recovery as underlying mental health concerns make their way to the surface. Trauma can be a confusing word but we can think of it as any insult a person experiences during a time of vulnerability and the meaning one attaches to that experience.
Naturopathic Medicine
Extended alcohol use takes a toll on all systems of the body, but the good news is that you were designed to heal. Eating nutritious whole foods is a great start, but personalized meal plans & supplement protocols are a game-changer in early sobriety. More and more research is demonstrating how essential gut health is for mental health. Your personalized plan will include nutritional recommendations, supplements, and home treatment tools that support detoxification, repair of the gut microbiome, decrease inflammation, and maintain the health of your body for years to come.
BodyMind Practices
If you have ever had a “gut feeling” or a “heartfelt connection” you have felt the body and mind as one. So much of our time is spent thinking…trying to wrap our minds around why things are the way they are. Chances are you’ve spent weeks on end googling for answers, trying to research your way out of your perceived problems. But now it’s time to listen to what the body already knows. With you since birth, the body holds all your life experiences, and therefore all the wisdom you need to fully recover.
(and you’ll find all three in the Successful Sobriety program, but more on that below)
Hi There, I’m
Dr. Dawn Flynn
Naturopathic Doctor, East Asian Medicine Practitioner (EAMP), certified Focusing teacher, and Passionate Healer.
I’ve been sober for 15 years myself with the exception of one year when I attempted to be a “normal drinker”, which I’m always happy to share about with clients, or prospective clients - just ask me. ;)
Before getting sober, drugs and alcohol helped me escape feelings of isolation and hopelessness for years – but only temporarily. After multiple attempts to stop drinking on my own and driving myself so far into the ground that I became too tired to carry on, I checked myself into a 21 day in-patient treatment center, and out of the maze of addiction. It was a pivotal moment in my life, but that first year of sobriety was rough. The emotions were intense & my relationships suffered, all while white-knuckling my way through the cravings that still had a grip on me.
Honestly, that first year of sobriety was about as turbulent as my many years *with* alcohol.
After about a year, things settled down and the turbulence ended. However, the place I landed felt…flat, colorless, uninspiring and totally uninteresting.
No, I wasn't waking up hung-over on the sidewalk plotting ways to end my life anymore but…There had to be more to life than just being sober. So, I paid attention to that little part of me that longed for something more, and enlisted the support of some incredible guides that helped me through this next phase of self-discovery.
I learned how to listen and trust my body. I learned its language so that I could recognize what it needed to be inspired, creative, connected and healthy –– physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually. As life changed around me, I fell in love with my current partner, things at work felt more exciting, my stagnant writing endeavors began to flow, and I discovered joy in dance. Of course at times I still have feelings that are uncomfortable and difficult, but now I have reliable and tender ways of being with them.
From there, I became interested in sharing what I learned from my personal experience and training in working with trauma, addiction, and mental health, so I took a position at a drug and alcohol treatment center providing acupuncture, nutritional counseling and naturopathic care. It was here that I encountered some of the best teachers –– my patients! I learned that women have unique needs that aren’t often addressed in other treatment programs.
(See article below.)
Today, I’ve been helping individuals along their healing journey with naturopathic and Chinese medicine for over 20 years. And I’ve made it my life’s mission to help women find peace & success during this often messy phase of sobriety.

VIP Upgrade Details
How much extra do the labs cost?
If you select the VIP Upgrade, you’ll pay three monthly payments of $685 to cover the program, which covers the extra sessions required for me to analyze and explain your test results.
You are also responsible for the lab fees, which are paid directly to the laboratories and run between $735- $1590 total for all three tests. The lab will then send you a home collection kit with instructions, and you’ll mail the specimens back for testing. The price range reflects the different types of tests used depending on your age, family medical history, symptoms, etc.
Nutritional Assessment test
This test is most helpful for those struggling with alcohol who also have anxiety, panic attacks, depression, ADD/ADHD, Bi-Polar, OCD, fatigue, chronic stress, joint pain, or digestive issues. It helps us create a highly-personalized supplement program to (1) support neurotransmitter synthesis, (2) regulate epigenetic neurotransmitter activity, and (3) reduce free-radical oxidative stress.
Comprehensive Hormone Testing
This test is particularly helpful in recovery when investigating root causes of insomnia, fatigue, weight gain, menstrual cycle irregularities, infertility, migraines, PMS/PMDD, depression, anxiety, PCOS, and menopausal symptoms.
Food Sensitivity and Intolerance Testing
The gut and brain are intimately connected, which means food sensitivities are correlated not only with digestive issues like IBS, but also with depression, anxiety, and addiction. This test can be helpful if you want to support your mental health through diet, and/or find relief from chronic pain, allergies, and digestive symptoms.

Today, I'm over two years sober & living a truly fulfilling life.
Dawn has been such a positive presence in my life throughout this journey. When I first came to her I was in a very dark place, dealing with alcohol addiction, crippling anxiety & panic attacks. Through a combination of emotional support, naturopathic medicine, and mindbody practices, she helped me find my center. Dawn's holistic root-cause approach was particularly refreshing in a culture that seems obsessed with bandaid “solutions”.
Today, I'm over two years sober & living a truly fulfilling life. Dawn is welcoming, compassionate & knowledgable, and she will always have a very special place in my heart.

FAQ
Do you accept health insurance?
I accept all major credit cards & Health Savings Account (HSA) cards. I do not, however, accept insurance. I believe the most ethical + effective way to provide health care is to work directly for YOU. Accepting health insurance severely restricts the type of care I’m able to provide, and therefore negatively impacts your ultimate success.
How much time do I need each week?
My only request is that you show up as yourself each week. Making adjustments in diet & lifestyle does require some time & energy on your end, so I just ask that you do your best to prioritize your healing during the program.
Do I have to be sober to join?
I don’t have a requirement for complete sobriety, although I do feel you’ll get the most out of the program if you have at least 30 days alcohol-free prior to enrolling, and a strong desire to stay sober. If you’re struggling to reach 30 days, email me at dawn@soberdoctordawn.com and we can chat about what’s best for you right now.
What about Support after the program?
Following the program, you’ll have the opportunity to join me in a private online group. This gives you the chance to connect with myself & other women on a similar journey. The group will meet once per week, and membership will be offered at a low monthly cost.
Can I add the lab work later?
If you'd like to run labs, I recommend purchasing the VIP track so that we can get you setup with labs right away. This will give you the most value & efficiency with the program. However, if you are unable to do labs at this time, I will work with you individually to create a plan in the future.
A final note from Dawn
For those of us who have given up alcohol, feeling “good” can seem totally unachievable. Because feeling good has usually involved drugs or alcohol, followed by paying the price financially, legally, physically, within our family, and in our relationships.
Many of us sacrifice so much for those moments of feeling good because the short-term benefit feels impossible to resist. That fleeting moment of intimacy, escape from worry & pain, or the feeling of our wild woman nature that circulates through our veins. Who doesn’t want that?
But, with patience, persistence, and help, you can be free of the struggle, and enjoy committed, passionate relationships. You can connect with an intelligence much larger than yourself. You can find your ground in a culture that distracts, overstimulates, overworks, and demands too much of you. You can experience deep feelings without medicating them.
You can be free of shame that binds you and breathe freely in a world that loves you. You can listen to the voice of your inner nature, naturally as you did when you came into being.
And, I would be honored to embark on this journey with you.
We’ve got this!
Dawn
