Dawn opened her first practice in 2002 with a single treatment room in Santee. Over 24 years she has built one of the longest-standing NP-led integrative medicine clinics in East County San Diego — treating more than 18,000 patients across hormone optimization, peptide therapy, regenerative care, and medical aesthetics.
The pattern she kept seeing — patients with normal labs, abnormal lives — became the foundation for everything THE WELLNESS CO. does today. Conventional medicine reads labs against population averages. Dawn reads them against the patient sitting in front of her.
Dawn personally reviews every CLARITY lab panel. She leads the optimization appointments for Elite and Transformation members. She designs every hormone, peptide, and metabolic protocol her patients receive. And she trains every provider on her team.
Outside the clinic she is the lead designer behind the CLARITY clinical methodology — the continuously-adapting, biomarker-driven approach to optimization that distinguishes the practice from conventional and even most functional medicine clinics.

Every protocol Dawn designs starts the same way: comprehensive baseline labs, individual interpretation, continuously-adapting calibration. The CLARITY methodology in practice across every clinical specialty.
Bioidentical hormone replacement and testosterone replacement therapy calibrated to individual biomarker data. For women and men. Full estradiol, thyroid, adrenal, and metabolic monitoring.
Read about hormone therapy →17+ peptide stacks for tissue repair, cognitive performance, metabolic optimization, and longevity. Provider-prescribed, pharmacy-compounded, protocol-managed.
Read about peptide therapy →Hormone-driven and GLP-1-supported metabolic optimization. Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and peptide-supported protocols calibrated to your metabolic markers.
Read about weight management →Clinical-grade IV protocols designed alongside hormone and metabolic optimization. NAD+, glutathione, Myers' Cocktail, and targeted blends.
Read about IV therapy →20+ years of NP-led aesthetic practice. Botox, Morpheus8, dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser, microneedling, PRP. Clinical precision, not a med spa aesthetic.
Read about aesthetics →Non-invasive thermal imaging for breast health, thyroid, inflammation, and full-body screening. Built on the in-house thermography workstation Dawn helped design.
Read about thermography →The CLARITY clinical methodology is Dawn's framework. It is what every protocol she designs is built on. Three principles govern it:
Every protocol adjusts as the patient's labs adjust. Re-test at 8-12 weeks. Adjust dose, form, or supporting protocol. Re-test again. The plan evolves with the patient — it does not get filed and forgotten.
Patients do not advance to deeper optimization until their biomarkers earn it. Labs uncover, labs gate progression, labs validate outcomes. Symptoms inform but do not override the data.
Every CLARITY patient gets the same clinical methodology. The membership tier governs how often Dawn personally reviews their case — quarterly, monthly, or continuously — not what they have access to.
Dawn personally reviews every CLARITY lab panel and designs every protocol. The team she has built around her is what makes the practice possible across 18,000+ patients and growing.
