Justine Dawson

Justine Dawson is a teacher and guide of intimacy and awakening. A 27 year practitioner of Insight Meditation, she completed training as a teacher under Jack Kornfield in 2012. In addition to her training and practice in traditional meditation and Buddhist psychology, Justine has devoted 18 years to engaged practice and teaching in the realms of the erotic – embodiment, sex, desire and relationship.

From the inside out Justine works with people to unburden the trauma, fear, and shame that prevents them from intimacy with all aspects of life. The therapeutic modalities of Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems and relational mindfulness are integral to her liberating, trauma-informed approach.

Justine currently keeps it real in Los Angeles, CA where she lives with her kitty-queen Bella, mentors new teachers through the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, and maintains a private practice working with individuals and couples around the world.
