About Dawn Ellis, Hello Horizon Coaching & Wellness Founder
Your Guide Through Life's Most Challenging Moments
I'm Dawn Ellis, a certified Life and Health Coach dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complex journey of healing from mental health and infidelity challenges. My passion lies in walking alongside people during their most trying times and helping them discover their own strength, resilience, and capacity for transformation.
My Journey to Coaching
Life has a way of teaching us exactly what we need to know to serve others. My path to becoming a coach wasn't born from textbooks alone, but from my own experiences with anxiety, heartbreak, healing, and ultimately, hope. I have been dealing with anxiety and panic disorder for over 30 years, and I also understand the unique pain that comes with betrayal because I've sat in those same sleepless nights, questioning everything I thought I knew about love, trust, and my own worth.
Through my own recovery journey, I discovered that healing isn't just about surviving the storm, it's about reclaiming your power, rebuilding your sense of self, and creating a life that truly honors who you are. This profound personal transformation led me to pursue formal training so I could offer others the same compassionate, skilled support that was instrumental in my own healing.
My Training and Approach
I earned my Life and Health Coach certification through the Health Coach Institute, where I received comprehensive training in evidence-based coaching methodologies and holistic wellness approaches. This foundation allows me to provide professional, ethical coaching while maintaining the deep empathy that comes from personal experience.
My approach integrates:
-
Cognitive and behavioral strategies to help you identify and shift patterns that no longer serve you.
-
Mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques to support your mental health during recovery.
-
Practical life skills for rebuilding relationships, setting boundaries, and making empowered decisions.
-
Holistic wellness principles that address the mind-body connection in healing.
What Makes My Practice Different
I've been where you are. While I maintain professional boundaries, my personal experience with panic disorder and infidelity informs my understanding of the complex emotions, confusion, and pain you may be experiencing. I know firsthand that healing is possible, and I've seen countless clients transform their deepest fears and wounds into their greatest sources of strength.
You set the pace. Recovery isn't linear, and there's no "right" timeline for healing. I meet you exactly where you are, whether you're in crisis, ready to make major life changes, or somewhere in between.
We focus on your whole self. Mental health and betrayal challenges affect every aspect of your life - your body, mind, relationships, and sense of purpose. Our work together addresses all these dimensions to support comprehensive healing.
Your story matters. Every person's experience with mental health struggles, betrayal, and recovery is unique. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, we'll create a personalized path forward that honors your specific situation, values, and goals.
Faith integration available. As a Christian, I believe healing and growth involve not only our habits and mindset, but also the strength that comes from faith. For clients who desire it, I'm happy to integrate faith-based perspectives and encouragement into our coaching work.
My Commitment to You
When you work with me, you're not just getting a coach - you're gaining an advocate, a witness to your strength, and a skilled guide who believes in your capacity to heal and thrive.
I'm committed to providing you with:
-
A safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings and experiences
-
Professional expertise combined with genuine compassion
-
Practical tools and strategies you can use immediately
-
Consistent support as you navigate the ups and downs of recovery
-
Celebration of your progress, no matter how small it may seem
Beyond Coaching
When I'm not working with clients, I'm passionate about continuing education in mental health and relationship dynamics. I regularly attend workshops and training sessions to stay current with the latest research and approaches in these fields.
I also believe deeply in the power of community and connection. Healing happens not just in individual sessions, but through the relationships and support systems we build along the way.

You don't have to carry this burden alone. You don't have to figure it all out by yourself. And you certainly don't have to settle for just surviving when you were meant to thrive.
I'm here to walk alongside you as you reclaim your life, rebuild your sense of self, and create a future filled with authentic joy and peace. Your healing journey is sacred, and I'm honored to be considered as your guide.
