Rewire Your System
Open yourself to trust, healing, safety, and transformation through the practice of Reaching and Holding with Dawn Herbertson, AKA Sue
What is Reaching and Holding?
Trust
Healing
Safety
Transformation
Reaching and Holding is an embodied practice that provides an opportunity to re-wire your parasympathetic nervous system and learn what healthy co-regulation is. It is a powerful tool for transforming trauma, chronic stress, and unhelpful belief systems into healing. This practice teaches you how to meet the world with calm and equanimity instead of being pushed into the fight or flight response.
If you’re looking to transform trauma into healing, learn how to connect with others in ways you never thought possible, or come into a better understanding of yourself, my name is Dawn and I am here to guide you.
I am a Reaching and Holding practitioner with the skills, training, and open heart to make your experience rewarding. Folks have been trusting me to lead them through this powerful practice over a decade.

Here’s what clients are saying
Sue holds a wide range of gifts and skills. How a session with Sue nourishes me is hard to describe. I know she’s got me. I am held and not judged. I can see my wholeness reflected through her listening, touch, gentle humor and understanding. Her sessions are ceremonial and fluid. Her energetic clearings have brought me relief and also served as templates for me in my own work as a healer and body worker.

Has worked with Dawn since 2016
For over ten years, reaching has been one of my go-to self care practices. It helps me reset my nervous system, quickly and efficiently, so I can function at my best. Dawn has been my preferred “holder” because the space she creates and holds is superb; safe, real, tender, and full of possibility.
Peter
Has worked with Dawn since 2014
Dawn was an absolutely wonderful guide through a very narrow passage in my life. I originally reached out due to some mind states that were coming up related to sexual abuse in my childhood. I was in a relationship and subsequently the relationship came apart during the time that I was working with Dawn. She was just incredible at creating a rich, beautiful container full of earth energy, and she tied together lots of different dimensions and offered the warmth of human touch in a safe space. Both my very young one could feel what it was like to be separate, connected, and held, and feel safe and not need to worry, and also my adult self that was grieving the loss of a very beautiful and intense relationship was nourished. She helped hold space, calling in lots of support and meeting me with a very warm, open heart that I am forever grateful for.
