Inspired by the Raven’s meaning in Pacific Northwest Coastal Indigenous communities—knowledge, transformation, and creation—Dawn Slykhuis founded RVN Wellness in 2019 as a community-centered initiative designed to support people through life’s changes.
As the owner of RVN Wellness, Dawn has worked as a registered social worker for more than 15 years. For over a decade, she has also held leadership roles, offering clinical supervision and guidance to a wide range of helping professionals, including teaching in a Bachelor of Social Work program at a local post-secondary institution.
Dawn discovered yoga about 10 years ago and quickly came to see her mat as a place for reflection, processing, and stepping away from the demands of everyday life. In 2019, she deepened that path by completing yoga teacher training.
Today, with gratitude, Dawn brings together counselling and yoga to offer a more holistic way of navigating life in Port Moody, BC, and the surrounding area.
If you are seeking support with mental health or substance use concerns for yourself or a loved one, or if you want to grow your yoga practice in an inclusive environment, you are welcome here. There is a place for you.
