Mindfulness meditation, Buddhist wisdom, and Somatic Experiencing
Insight helps us see. Practice helps us change.
Hi, I’m Dawn Mauricio.
I’m passionate about sharing the practices of mindfulness, Buddhist wisdom, and somatics because although mindfulness and meditation can help us see clearly and choose wisely, it’s repetition that gives the body the strength to follow through.

“If you have the opportunity to train with Dawn Mauricio, take it. She is the kind of teacher who transmits mindfulness not just through her words, but through her steady presence, her warmth, her passion and her deep embodiment of the path. I’ve seen firsthand her gift for translating ancient wisdom into accessible, relevant teachings—always with clarity, humility, and a lightness of heart that makes even the most difficult truths feel workable.” -

Alia P.
Teacher Trainee Mentee
“For years I struggled to see myself in the teachings, but with Dawn, I always feel safe, welcome and seen in her classes. She models what it means to meet our experiences as they are, and with authenticity and kindness. And each time, I walk away with a new perspective that allows me to lean in and deepen my own practice. I have also learned so much from her as a mentor to help further my own craft as a teacher in training.” -

Miraj J.
Teacher Trainee Mentee
“Dawn has found a way to combine wit, humor, and her warmth with her skill as both student and teacher of mindfulness. Very quickly, she helped normalize and deepen my practice as a beginner and has even inspired me to become a mindfulness teacher myself. I instantly chose her as my mentor for a 2-year certification program and feel grateful to be able to learn from her. Dawn is a true gem and someone who inspires countless others to be better.”
