I have been the recipient of soul care from Dawn Strobeck at a staff retreat and have sent members of my team to her retreats. When I or members of my team, meet with Dawn, we're often struggling with secondary traumatic stress due to the nature of our work with survivors of human trafficking. Dawn's leadership has allowed me to see recenter my focus on the true source of strength -- the Lord. She speaks to the heart of each person she works with and infuses her messages and lessons with humor and resolve, and I'm always left feeling cared for. Dawn's relatability and inspiring insight give me everything I need to reframe, restructure and regain my peace and my sanity. I can speak for my whole team when I say that we have all walked away from Dawn's retreats better leaders, better mothers, and with more love and grace for ourselves.

~Dee Coleman, Executive Director of Samaritan Village

Dawn offers an integrative approach to healing and restoration. She weaves her robust background in theology and psychology along with years of experience in inner healing prayer and contemplative practices to create an welcoming space for transformation. Dawn has led numerous conferences over the years and has created a comprehensive program for victims of human trafficking that bring together her rich understanding of complex trauma as well as her strong spiritual discernment. Dawn has the gift of hospitality and creating safe spaces. The compassion and care she gives to others is an extension of the ways she’s received the generous love of Jesus and her community throughout her own journey. Be expected to be deeply impacted through her wise and gentle presence.

"As the Executive Director with The Nurture Place, my goal is to ensure all staff/volunteers keep a healthy life-work balance. Secondary trauma impacts us directly as we engage in the hard stories of our clients. Burnout and emotional exhaustion can happen easily, if we don’t take time to rest, renew, process, and keep a healthy life-work balance. Dawn Strobeck serves on the Board of Directors, she brings with her a list of experiences, knowledge and skills, invaluable to our Board. Dawn has been a critical and strategic resource for The Nurture Place. As a mental health therapist Dawn provides us with a specific support needed for the overall sustainability of the work we do. Dawn provides a yearly retreat for our staff with the focus of renewal, in addition she occasionally joins our staff meetings bringing great insight, wisdom, and guidance to our team. She is also available to meet with our staff individually, if needed. Dawn is a powerful speaker, teacher, leader, therapist and human! Every Organization would benefit from inviting Dawn to be a part of keeping overall organizational teams healthy and vibrant!”

—Angela Gonzalez, Executive Director of The Nurture Place

Dawn has a unique gift for creating life giving experiences where we are invited into a journey of deeper communion with the Father and a greater sense of wholeness and purpose in our lives.
