Founder of Living Influence
Dawn Fleming works as a public speaker and therapist at her organization, Living Influence LLC, in Minnetonka, Minnesota. In both her roles as a speaker and a therapist, Dawn's greatest passion is for others to vividly experience God in their own lives.
Her desire, as stated in the Living Influence Mission statement, is to challenge a movement of people to discover and then relay their own insatiable hunger for God to others, thereby creating a generation of living influences.
A dynamic presenter, Dawn presents workshops on such topics as spiritual disciplines, eating issues, self-image, chemical dependency, parenting and authenticity in relationships. Those who have seen Dawn present comment on her humor, genuineness, practical application, and ability to connect with her audience.
In her work with individuals, couples, and families, Dawn strives to apply a holistic model, treating the emotional, relational, and spiritual aspects of a person's life.
Her goal is to offer hope and healing to those experiencing difficulties in their lives and relationships by helping people identify patterns and beliefs that prevent them from being whole.
Along with her numerous speaking engagements and thriving private practice, Dawn offers a wealth of experience and expertise. She received her master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Bethel Theological Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2002.
Since completing her Masters, Dawn had worked as a parent and family educator in the chemical dependency field. Dawn's passion for both people and excellence has led her to become president of the Christian Association for Psychological Studies Minnesota chapter, as well as a Midwest Regional Board Member. Dawn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota and a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
Dawn considers her work with others an honor and a privilege. She is grateful for the opportunity to incorporate into her work today the emotional and spiritual healing she has personally received in the past. She looks forward to assisting others in vividly experiencing the healing power of God in their own lives.
