Exceptionally Thourough
-Natalie “Sunshine” Flores
“Dawns massages are incredible!
She's exceptionally thorough and can feel any bit of tension the body may be holding and she goes for it.
With grace and strength she amends and repairs all the stress and just melts it away onto the table.
Dawn's pressure is perfect, she guides you with your breath to get all the yuckiness and get the best results possible.
Do yourself a favor and get a massage by her. You will not regret it.”
-Natalie Flores, Culver City, CA 2021
Fantastic Results
“Dawn truly has healing hands, an earth angel! She is so knowledgeable about the body and channels her positivity and compassion through her work. She is professional, kind and really takes care in how she handles her session with you. It feels very tailored to the individual needs of the client and really has fantastic results.
Beyond the relaxing benefits of a massage, I was experiencing terrible tension and pain in my shoulders and after a session with her the next day I was pain free and feeling even spiritually lighter. On top of that, she took the time to research some of the pain I was experiencing and provide me more insight into what was happening on a physiological level after our session to help me understand.
She goes above and beyond and is so kind. She is very skilled and really cares about her craft, I would highly recommend her services.”

Instructed Breath & Educated Hands
-Reny Whitcomb
“It started with a song! Dawn has combined the discipline of therapeutic massage with the Hawaiian arts, and other genres. She has intuition and healing hands. She was able to feel where my muscles were hurting and with instructed breath and educated hands, move the energy, relax the muscle and decrease my pain.
I had not been able to raise my left arm without severe pain but after my massage, I lifted my arm without difficulty and the pain had diminished.
She imparted a sense of well being and rest in her massage so I could address the inner conflict I was struggling with, see wisdom come and bring resolve. I am highly satisfied with Dawn and greatly recommend her as a licensed massage therapist for body work.”
-Reny Whitcomb, Kailua-Kona, HI, 2021
Intentionality and Care
“My experience with New Dawn Therapies was amazing. What I thought was going to be a regular massage, was so much more.
Dawn is very holistic in her approach, stretching and working muscles that I wouldn’t have realized carried as much tension as they did. I loved how Dawn worked WITH me, not just on me, explaining each muscle and movement as she went along.
Dawn is very intuitive and made me feel very comfortable as I could feel her intentionality and care. I would highly recommend her!!”
-Nate Hakeem, Kailua-Kona, HI, 2021
I Was Transported
-Bonnie Cornett
Thorough & Attentive
“Today I had my first LomiLomi massage with Dawn. She was so amazing! She worked every muscle group magically using her essential oils. She was very thorough working my body from head to toes.
I was transported by her relaxing music and skillful hands. She was very attentive to the goals I wanted to accomplish through the massage and made sure I had the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Dawn. You won’t be disappointed!”
-Bonnie Cornett, Kailua-Kona, HI, 2021
Totally Integrated & Whole Again
“Dawn is an amazing massage therapist. I receive a lot of massage and this was the best I've had on the island by far. She does neuromuscular integration, Hawaiian Lomilomi, back-walking, and other amazing techniques and is SO skilled.
I had severe neck pain and felt better immediately. I left my second massage feeling totally integrated and relaxed and whole again. It was amazing! And she has an amazing sense of what pressure I need.
Her setting is gorgeous with views of the ocean and you can hear birds the entire time. She's a gem and more people need to know about her. I can't wait to go back! I'm so glad I live here and found an excellent massage therapist.”
-Ana Verzone, Kailua-Kona, HI, 2021
Relaxing and Therapeutic
-Nakia Andrews
Prenatal Love
“I’ve been working with Dawn for 10 years, and every session is uniquely different. As a busy mom now expecting my second child, I highly recommend booking prenatal massage. It’s the best for mama & baby!!
I appreciate how Dawn made sure I felt supported and comfortable during my entire treatment. We discussed the unbearable pain in my hands and numbness in my thumbs that’s been waking me up at night. Dawn found the areas and slowly worked at releasing the trigger points related to the symptoms I was experiencing.
Her knowledgeable techniques were both relaxing and therapeutic. After our session I was completely pain free and finally slept through the night! My baby was happy too!”
-Nakia Andrews, Kailua-Kona, HI 2021
Holistic Mind, Body & Spirit
“As an athlete who holds extreme tension in my body, I’ve had many, many massages in my life. I can easily say Dawn’s massage therapy is the best I’ve ever had. I left my massage feeling like I was floating on a cloud - yet so grounded.
I haven’t felt that relaxed and at peace in many months. It was a holistic mind, body, spirit experience, and I appreciate SO much how well Dawn incorporated breath-work into our session.
Not to mention, she is a ray of sunshine that creates a warm, inviting presence, allowing it to be so easy to receive from her. 100/10. Thank you, Dawn!!”
-Jessica Burns, Santa Monica, CA 2021
A True Gem
-Sierra Quitiquit
Energetically Present
“Dawn has the magic touch!
I’ve been a professional athlete for almost a decade.
Massage therapy is essential for my performance but not all massage therapists are equal.
Dawn’s ability to tune in to problem areas and heal them are truly special.
She is energetically present and a true gem!”
-Sierra Quitiquit, Waimea, HI 2021
15 / 10 Stars
“Dawn is everything you could ask for in a massage therapist and it shows the second you walk through the door. The environment and mood were perfect for one of the best, most relaxing massages I’ve ever gotten.
Not only is the massage itself absolutely amazing but throughout the entire time she led me through meditative steps to ensure I got the most relaxing experience possible. Overall I’d rate my experience 15/10 stars and you better believe I’ll be going back as soon as possible!”
-Max Bell, Culver City, CA 2021
The Best There Is
-Brianna Allen
Dawn is Love
“Hands down the best there is. Pun intended.
Seriously though, Dawn is love. She comes with intention, presence and some insane skills.
Time spent under her care is invaluable.
If you're still reading this, just go book the best massage therapy session of your life already! I'm positive that you'll be glad you did.”
-Brianna Allen, Hermosa Beach, CA 2021
Pure Bliss
“If you ever have an opportunity to get a massage from Dawn Freitas, don't pass it up. Dawn has more integrity than anyone else that I have ever been to. And more skill.
I have a very hard time aligning my neck due to osteophytes ( or bone spurs ) on the 4th and 7th vertebrae, aggravating the spinal cord and causing constant pain. Dawn brought my neck into a position with NO pain that I haven’t been able to for over 20 years. Electricity surged from my neck down my entire body, finally.
She reads a person's body like someone reads Braille. She does it by feel and she said that bodies talk to her. The closest thing that I can come to is a jazz concert, focused on the call and response. Dawn was the maestro and I was the instruments. My body called and she responded.
Dawn takes her time and fully works the muscle. She will reach all the parts that you expect and she will surprise you by focusing on areas that you didn't expect. The end result is pure bliss.”
-Phil Bubar, Venice, CA 2021
The Most Amazing Experience!
-Joanna Abbott Rivera
Floating on Air
“So I scheduled an appointment for a massage and I didn’t know what to expect..
It was the most amazing experience, I have never had a massage like this before!
I’m a hairstylist and I suffer from chronic lower back pain... After my massage I had NO back pain, I was floating on air...
I highly recommend Dawn she has Majic hands...
Can’t wait for my next massage.....
THANK YOU DAWN!”
-Joanna Abbott Rivera, Venice, CA 2020
Unbelievable
“I’ve been having shoulder problems for a few months now and it recently got worse.
I could only lift my shoulder halfway up over my head when I arrived at Dawn’s studio.
My massage with Dawn was unbelievable and by the end of the 2 hour session I was not only fully relaxed but my shoulder problem was gone and I was able to lift it all the way up with no pain.
So thankful for her and for helping me gain back my motion.”
-Matt Dajer, Venice, CA 2020
Lighter and Inspired
-Joelle Shapiro
Regained Mobility
“Dawn is absolute magic! She is so knowledgeable and intuitive about what your body needs.
I went to see her again, because I was having back pain. I was amazed when my hip popped and I regained mobility that I hadn’t even realized I was missing!
I left feeling so much lighter and inspired to flow on my mat the next morning- something I hadn’t been able to do for weeks without pain.”
-Joelle Shapiro, Venice, CA 2020
Reborn After Each Session
“Dawn works with and IN you on a soul level. You feel safe to surrender and be vulnerable with her, so the real work can be accomplished.
Mainly, I released emotions. Dawn holds a safe energetic container that doesn’t disappear when the session is over, which is hugely important when doing this deep work.
A profound amount of peace and joy envelops my being after each session. You are, in a sense, reborn after each session with Dawn.
I highly recommend booking at least 1.5 hours or more to obtain the full benefits of working with this incredibly talented & intuitive woman.”
- Katherine Carter, Topanga, CA 2020
Absolute
Godsend
!
-Arjuna O'Neal
Never felt Safer, More Relaxed & Rejuvenated
“My physical body is challenged with various levels of nerve pain from a major surgery after my femoral artery was severed almost 20yrs ago. I've spent thousands of dollars working with some of the "best" specialists, trauma doctors, and healers, and massage therapists.
I personally feel like she has an extra special gift that her credentials and certifications don't convey fully. Dawn has been an absolute Godsend miracle in my life. My body has never felt safer, more relaxed and rejuvenated than working with her.
Dawn knows the language of the body in such a way that I wasn't even aware of within myself. Her intuitive hands and techniques have allowed me to experience a level of healing no other has.”
Arjuna O'Neal, Venice, CA 2020
I’ve Discovered
The Best
“You haven’t had a massage until you’ve
had one from New Dawn Therapies!
Dawn’s approach is comprehensive, patient, and intuitive to make sure that your body gets exactly what it needs in ALL the right spots.
I’ve had so many massages in my life, and I truly believe I’ve discovered the best there is!
I tell everyone about Dawn.”

Changed
My Life
-Diana Levy
Feel Deeply Loved
“My husband and I have been working with Dawn for over a year and a half, and every time I do, I feel rejuvenated both physically and spiritually.
Not only does she listen to what I tell her feels wrong, she feels it too. She unlocked one of my negative thought circles and how it was effecting my body, with a few simple words, and it changed my life.
I also felt she was very respectful of my space and boundaries that worked during this “new normal.” I’ve received her pre-natal, post-natal, and “regular” bodywork, and always feel deeply loved and cared for.
I referred Dawn to my neighbors, my husband, and his company! I recommend her to anyone who is interested in feeling better, physically and mentally.”
- Diana Levy, Venice, CA 2020
Modern Healer
”Dawn is a Modern Day Healer. But don’t take my word for it! Treat yourself to one of her sessions and judge for yourself.
What sets Dawn apart is her ability to infuse her multidisciplinary knowledge.
Her bodywork is expansive and covers all senses.
No matter your reason for hiring Dawn, expect to be impressed and satisfied."
-Sebastian Hoppe, Venice, CA 2020
Like Jello
-Rae Ceretto
Exactly What I Needed
“All I can say is wow. From the moment I met Dawn her energy of compassion and positivity made me feel completely at ease.
Once I was on the table that energy turned into the most incredible massage of my life. She used all kinds of massage techniques that I recognized from my travels across the world.
From Thai massage to lomi lomi- during my two hour session I got it all, and it was exactly what I needed.
I woke up the next morning with no pain and a smile on my face. My body was happy and I’ve never felt more like jello.”
- Rae Ceretto, Venice, CA 2020
Shamanic
Soul Touching
“Wow. Just wow.
My experience with Dawn was a mixture between deep shamanic soul touching and professional tender massage.
I left her session with a profound sense of softness, in all of my muscles, with simultaneous strength and integrated power pulsing underneath.
She is absolutely the real deal.”
-Balwin Watra, Venice, CA 2019
Perfect Safe Haven
-Oraia Marilyn Monraw
Soul Massaged
Into Alignment
“My intention was to feel safe in my body. Still experiencing the afterglow of our session, I can now share that I found the perfect person to help me anchor this.
Dawn tuned into my needs with great finesse and created the perfect safe haven for my deep dive into shadow and vulnerability. She was with me in every moment, breathing with me, feeling deeply into my body, helping me blast through blockages, so nurturing.
The Hawaiian prayers, the specific insights into the body, the Hawaiian background music, Dawn’s touch and island « mana »... the perfect complete blend.
I even saw rainbows through most of the night following our session! I feel my Soul got massaged into alignment.”
-Oraia Marilyn Monraw, Maui, HI 2018
