Dawn Cerino
Dawn is a Holistic, Catholic/Christian Birth Doula and a Certified Body Ready Method® Pro who is deeply passionate about supporting women through pregnancy and birth. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Dawn relocated to Nashville with her family in 2008. She is married to her high school sweetheart and is the proud mother of three grown daughters.
Rooted strongly in her faith, Dawn views birth as a sacred and powerful experience. She is called to walk alongside mothers with compassion, encouragement, and unwavering support—helping them feel informed, confident, and empowered. Dawn is especially passionate about providing the kind of birth experience she did not have herself: one grounded in peace, knowledge, and freedom from fear. While birth is one of the most challenging experiences a woman will ever face, Dawn believes it can also be calm, beautiful, and deeply empowering.
Dawn equips her clients with evidence-based resources and education so they can confidently make informed decisions for their birth and their baby. One of her greatest joys is supporting husbands and partners—showing them exactly how to be effective, confident, and present during labor so they can actively support the birthing mother.
In 2022, Dawn became a Certified Body Ready Method® Pro after witnessing how often suboptimal baby positioning contributed to longer, more difficult labors. This specialized training allows Dawn to bring an added level of expertise to birth preparation and postpartum care. When you hire Dawn as your birth doula, you receive not only comprehensive prenatal support, but also a Body Ready Method® session designed to gently encourage optimal baby positioning through simple, effective exercises.
During labor, Dawn skillfully applies her knowledge of pelvic biomechanics and positioning to help prevent labor stalls and promote smoother, shorter, and more empowering births. This integrative approach is what sets Dawn apart—and why she is so excited to help you Get Your Body Ready® for birth.
