Dawn Deiman is the Owner & CEO of Rising Dawn Yoga Studio, Meditation & Wellness, LLC in Locust Grove, Virginia. A native New Yorker from Long Island and a single mom, her journey led her to Virginia in 2021.  She is not just a highly trained instructor & holistic healer but living proof that it works!  Dawn is a Certified Meditation Teacher with over 30+ years experience as a practitioner and is a Registered Member of Meditation Alliance International.  Having overcome severe Anxiety, Panic Disorder & Agoraphobia at a young age by learning meditation, she was able to stop taking high dose prescription medication and heal herself through her practice.  This life changing experience inspired her to heal others.  She is often quoted as saying, " no one should be suffering at the hands of their own mind!"  

Dawn completed her Yoga Teacher Certification with the Yoga & Ayurveda Center in Pennsylvania and is a Registered Member of Yoga Alliance.  Her passion in Eastern Medicine led her to deepen her training, becoming certified in therapeutic Yin Yoga, where she combines traditional yoga with the principles of Chinese medicine.  She holds certifications in Chair & Restorative Yoga and in a deeper desire to heal others, not just with mental disabilities but physical ones too, she completed Adaptive Yoga training with the inspiring paraplegic Yogi Matthew Sanford at Mind Body Solutions.  Here she learned life is truly experienced beyond the limitations of these physical bodies we are born into.

As a NCCAOM-certified professional acupuncturist, I will help you create a treatment plan that addresses your lifestyle, dietary and emotional well-being. Together we will transform your vitality and entire well-being for the better, helping you look and feel your best. I will also help you enjoy yourself along the way.

In addition to acupuncture, cupping, Gua Sha, electroacupuncture and all of the traditional modalities of Chinese Medicine, I am also a 500 hour E-RYT® and YACEP® Instructor with Yoga Alliance, a Reiki Master and Thai Yoga Therapist Level 1. These experiences help me address your whole being, not just your symptoms. I am also trained and experienced in facial acupuncture, micro-needling and nano-needling which are used either in lieu or in conjunction with Botox and fillers for more natural results. Furthermore, during my doctorate courses I studied menopause and fertility treatments, cancer care, orthopedics and mental health.
