Dr. Dawson is board certified in integrative medicine, as well as obstetrics and gynecology (one of the first such physicians in the state of Georgia). She practices the art and science of healing by addressing the whole person-body, mind, and spirit. She encourages lifestyle changes, nutrition, complementary alternatives, pharmaceuticals, and/or surgery when appropriate. She encourages women to consider how their “biography” may be affecting their “biology”. In December 2016, Dr. Dawson closed her medical practice, Women for Women, to focus on advocating, educating and consulting on medical cannabis full-time. She works with multiple grass root organizations to decriminalize this amazing plant that has been used for millennia by humans as food, medicine, fiber and more.
