Episode 21 - Breaking Through the Dark: Redefining Self After a Near-Death Experience (NDE)
Dawn Christensen’s life has been defined by resilience and reinvention. Born without breath, surviving a near-death experience (NDE) after a car accident, living with chronic illness, and still finding her way back to the light—Dawn embodies what it means to reinvent the self amidst tremendous challenge.
A certified somatic healer, expressive arts counselor, and founder of The Grace Program—a nonprofit bringing the arts to cancer patients—Dawn shares how body, soul, and synchronicity can guide us toward healing and wholeness.
In this episode of Giving Grief Grace, Dawn opens up about her NDE, the transformative power of creativity, and how movement and art can help us persevere through even the darkest seasons. Her message is empowering: you are not broken—you are becoming.
Stay tuned for Dawn's forthcoming book on healing the nervous system to build inner safety and reclaim yourself! You can also find Dawn on Substack - A New Dawn Healing Arts and Instagram @dawnchristensen1111.
