Dawn Papple

Dawn Papple was raised in a loving family by a stay at home mom among frogs, cattails, dragonflies and her two brothers. Now she raises her own three youngsters in an attachment parenting environment with the support of her husband, a tattoo artist named Darl Papple in a little home just 15 minutes from her stomping grounds.

Dawn created, owned and ran a natural parenting store in Historic Downtown Howell Michigan called Mama Gaia's. There she practiced Reiki healing and training as a certified Reiki Master, and sold a wide array of attachment parenting & natural living products. When she discovered her step-son, who was in her fulltime care had fetal alcohol syndrome, she chose to close the store to uncomplicate his life. She still practices Reiki Healing and Instruction independently in her community.

Dawn has been published in The Livingston Parent Journal, The Livingston County Press and other Michigan based paper publications. She was awarded a "Health Instructor" badge by the online writing community, Helium, where she enjoys adding to the ever growing alternative health feature articles section. Dawn blogs professionally twice weekly for the very popular online natural mothering store, Everything Birth. Papple's resume includes webpage content and design and social media marketing. Dawn also has written a book about the stillbirth of her first child entitled, "Aura Lin."
