Hear From My Clients

"Thank you so much for walking us through our breastfeeding journey.

Words can't express how much it meant to us."

“I had so many questions every single time I left my prenatal appointments. It was so great to have Dawn as a Nurse Coach to help me understand what was going on.

One of the best parts was the resources she shared! Everyone should be able to have a nurse coach throughout their pregnancy and postpartum!”

"Dawn is incredible!

We did a condensed childbirth class with her and it armed me with knowledge and the confidence to advocate for myself.

I had a very long induction for medical reasons and Dawn helped me become confident in understanding risks, benefits and alternatives for each medication and procedure. I eventually felt so comfortable declining things that were just to “speed things up” and when the epidural wasn’t working I was able to keep speaking up for myself until it was resolved.

I don’t think I would have had that confidence without Dawn's class.

Hi, I am Dawn Hancock!

I am a Student Nurse Midwife, Registered Nurse Certified in Obstetric Nursing, Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Board Certified Nurse Coach.

I am married to my husband, Jared, and together we have five amazing adult children and nine beautiful grandchildren. Our family story is a blended one, and it's one of my greatest joys. Much of our time is spent traveling to visit the out-of-towners and doing everyday life with those who live nearby in California's Central Valley.

We also love to travel for adventure, and one of my long-term goals is to serve as a travel nurse midwife after I complete midwifery school — combining my love for birth work with my love of exploring new places and communities.

I have a deep passion not only for serving families, but for serving midwives themselves. Midwives pour so much of their hearts into others, often without taking time to rest and renew. I want to help create space for them to step away — to experience joy, peace, and restoration — so they can return to their calling refreshed and supported.

I am happy you're here.

Truly,

Dawn Hancock RNC-OB, BSN, LCCE, CLC, BC-NC
