Dawn is an internationally recognized, trauma-informed sex educator, presenter, podcaster, and priestess with over twenty-five years of lived experience in Power Exchange, Leather, Kink, Polyamory, Ritual and Sacred Sexuality. For over two decades, she has inspired audiences nationwide with her grounded wisdom, warmth, humour, and practical tools for creating authentic relationships, conscious connection, and deep personal transformation.
Since 2009, Dawn has been a host/co-host of the Erotic Awakening podcast, the longest running kink podcast. She is the co-author of The Polyamory Toolkit, Living M/s, Hearts & Collars, and Lead Follow Love. And author of Birth to Earth, a Priestess’s twenty-year collection of rites of passage ceremonies drawn from her sacred work in community and Behind the Curtain: Setting the Stage, Setting the Table.
Her work extends beyond education into creating spaces where people can explore relationships, sexuality, spirituality, and meaningful connection. She has brought this vision to life as co-creator and producer of BTL: Beyond the Love, Polyamory Summit and Power Exchange Summit, as well as creator and producer of Eros Gathering: Sacred Sexuality for Kinksters and the Subs in Service Intensive. She also served as co-creator and director of The Columbus Space, an alternative community center and dungeon in Columbus, Ohio.
As a Reiki Master and longtime energy practitioner, Dawn brings her understanding of energy into both her teaching and sacred work, helping others explore energy awareness, connection, healing, and erotic energy. Her spiritual work includes co-creating and facilitating the Scarlet Sanctuary, a Qadishti space of Sacred Touch; co-creating Path of the Qadishti and creating POTQ2, sacred sexuality training programs rooted in her Qadishti path; and serving as creator and High Priestess of Sacred Flame Temple.
Whether behind a microphone, in front of a classroom, or holding sacred space as a Priestess, Dawn’s mission is simple: to inspire healing, authenticity, and conscious connection, both in and out of the dungeon.
