DAWN GOWERY, PUBLISHER/EDITOR
Publisher/editor and founder Dawn Gowery is the creative visionary and driving force of Healthy Beginnings (HB), it’s a Lifestyle Magazine and website, www.HBmag.com.
Healthy Beginnings has become the community hub for all things natural, organic and healthy. Articles cover all aspects of natural health and wellbeing—nutrition, fitness, families, pets, the environment, green building and sustainability, corporate responsibility and accountability, local agriculture and cooperative community efforts.

She is committed to sharing this information with others so that they have choices to make educated decisions. Each person can then feel empowered to take ownership of their own health!
In the magazine, Dawn combines her passion for natural health with her highly successful marketing and sales skills. The result is a unique venue for people who want local, timely, fact-based and educational information about natural health and living, and for advertisers who want to reach this audience.
Dawn has been successful in all facets of corporate and personal direct sales—from Fortune 500 Directory publishing, advertising sales and marketing, to large event (trade show) conception, planning and execution, to on-air sales at TV’s Home Shopping Network. From these experiences, Dawn developed a unique capacity to concretize abstract marketing ideas and breathe life into them with a clear call to action. This skill, paired with her intelligence, drive and discipline makes Dawn a highly effective business visionary, entrepreneur and publisher.
Dawn hails from a military family with roots in ranching and education, people who respected the land, other people and their innumerable differences. She was born in Los Angeles and grew up in a military family; she was a hiker and naturalist, even as a child. She has traveled extensively in the US and Germany, living for longer periods in Rapid City, South Dakota, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Southwest Florida. Her undergraduate degree is in Communications from the University of Texas. She is a mother of four children, and a grandmother of four. She loves nature and the outdoors, and believes deeply in living by the golden rule, having fun and facing life with a laugh and a smile.
She has this to say about health: “In a perfect world, doctors would be our partners, helping us to investigate the cause of our health concerns, then prescribing nutrition, exercise, supplements and/or as a last resort, medicines or surgery. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves. It is up to each of us to keep our bodies running in tip-top shape.
Knowledge is power and unbiased information is key to us as individuals—empowering us to make quality, life-sustaining choices.”
