Meet Your Educator

Hi, I’m Dawn, the founder of Ravens Moon Holistic Wellness and your guide through this HTMA Self-Study Course. My work weaves together mineral balancing, functional bloodwork, herbal support, and the often overlooked emotional and energetic layers of healing. Over the years, I’ve supported hundreds of clients in understanding their unique mineral patterns and creating sustainable paths toward balance. This course was born from a desire to make HTMA approachable and practical for individuals and families. I believe healing is most powerful when it starts with awareness, curiosity, and small, consistent shifts. My teaching style reflects that: clear, grounded, compassionate, and deeply practical. Here, you’ll find the same frameworks and tools I use in my own practice, adapted so that you can apply them to your own results with confidence. My hope is that as you move through this material, you not only gain knowledge, but also feel more connected to your body, your energy, and your healing journey.

What People Are Saying

Discover how the course is transforming lives and empowering individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing.

This course has been wonderful and so easy to follow. It’s thoughtfully organized into logical, digestible sections that never feel overwhelming. The material is so fascinating that once I started, I couldn’t stop — I finished the entire course in under three days! It’s absolutely worth the investment for my family’s health. The insights into emotional aspects and personality tendencies have been eye-opening, and I’m especially excited to see how the child-specific emotional patterns Dawn describes relate to my daughters.
Heather

 

I have devoured every section of this course! Dawn presents the material in a way that is incredibly thorough yet easy to understand, which has made it simple to pick up even with a 4 month old at home. The journal prompts were a favorite of mine, helping me reflect on what my body and HTMA are really communicating. I now feel much more confident in interpreting my family’s HTMAs and believe this course is absolutely worth the investment. I know I’ll continue referring back to this knowledge for years to come.
Jessica

 

I'm so happy Dawn started offering the self-study HTMA course. We've been doing HTMA work with our entire family for awhile now, and every time we run a new test and start a new protocol, I find myself craving the how and why information that can be quite hard to learn as a novice. Dawn's course is both easy to understand and incredibly deep in information. The ties between minerals and both physical and emotional presentations are fascinating. I am moving slowly through the material, so having something that is self-paced is wonderful. This is going to be an incredible investment in our family's health. It's yet another way learning from Dawn has helped me feel empowered over my family's health, and in today's world, that is invaluable.
Katie

 

This in-depth study course is so comprehensive! I have a family and have always wanted to be able to help each kid with symptoms and long-term healing but can't afford to have each one work with a practitioner right now. This will be something I can get started sooner and get each child the help they need. I believe this is so valuable that it will easily pay for itself pretty quickly with being able to treat my family with a long-term impact. I have really enjoyed working with Dawn personally running 1:1 HTMAs and this is giving me such a more in-depth look at minerals than I could ever get in a call with her. I'm so glad I joined the course at the beginning and looking forward to updates that Dawn makes!
Laura

 

HOLY COW!! This course is absolutely amazing!!!! I can definitely tell that so much thought and time was put into this! The course is so easy to follow and is broken down and laid out in a simple way to understand it. This course compliments working with you soooo much but I feel that I would also be able to use the information on my own as well!! I love how it correlates symptoms to mineral patterns. Reading over this triggers so much that I see in my children and just gives you that ah ha moment. It is soooo good to have on hand. It gave me explanations for symptoms that have been popping up with my daughter that had both stumped my husband and I. Not only does this guide teach you how to resonate with mineral patterns but is just so good to have on hand for reference. I just want to thank you for creating this course! It provides so many answers especially in a time where life is very busy and noisy. There are so many simple and free ways to support ourselves and our children.
Kelsey

 

I took this course so I could better support my family, and it’s truly next level. The way it bridges science, intuition, and real-life application is groundbreaking. As a mother, it’s incredibly empowering not only to manage illness at home, but to know your family and children on this level. Every module makes complex information clear and practical, and I’m already using what I’ve learned daily. This is essential knowledge for any mother who wants to move from guessing to truly understanding what the body is communicating. It helps you see symptoms not as random or scary, but as meaningful signals guiding you toward balance. It shifts the way you see your family’s health entirely, bringing a sense of calm, confidence, and deep connection to your role as the nurturer and healer of the home. The calcium and magnesium module in particular was so impactful for me. I’ve always known that sodium, potassium, and magnesium play huge roles in health, but I didn’t fully understand how ratios reveal the story behind our energy, regulation, and resilience. Having taken HTMAs with practitioners before, this course helped me finally connect the dots. I now feel capable and confident in supporting myself and my kiddos with a deeper understanding of how our bodies communicate through minerals.
Hannah

 

I’ve really loved taking Dawn’s HTMA course! It was exactly what I was looking for. I already had a solid understanding of HTMA, but I didn’t have one complete, reliable source with all the information needed to properly analyze my own results. This course fills that gap perfectly- it’s a truly holistic, comprehensive guide that gives you everything you need to confidently interpret your own HTMA results. The material is very well organized and structured, making it easy to follow. I’ve especially appreciated that it’s self-paced, allowing me to balance taking this while working full-time easily. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of HTMA!
Emily

 

I bought this course because I was interested in helping myself and my family understand their health better. I had previously had a few HTMAs done and the information I received was mind blowing. I felt like I had no clue about the human body and its amazing abilities and components. I was hooked. I wanted to learn MORE. I wanted to understand how minerals worked, then Dawn offered this course. I jumped on the opportunity immediately. Then I got in my own head about it, did I make a mistake? Did I really just spend this money? So I procrastinated starting the course because I was nervous and I doubted my abilities to actually learn something new. BUT THEN...I did it, I opened the first module and dove in. I wasn't prepared for the amount of information we are actually given in this course! I am a slow learner, I like to take my time and absorb everything, so I am still slowly working through the course (so thankful it's self paced), but my oh my...It sparked something in me. I pulled out old Anatomy & Physiology textbooks from college, I'm cross referencing things when I might not understand a term or just as a refresher. This course is amazing and totally worth it!! I love learning about how things work together. The human body is complex and fascinating. Dawn has been a dream to work with (and I'm not that great of a patient) and I feel honored to be taking this course with her. It is laid out nicely and in a way that does not feel overwhelming. I know I am going to be so proud of myself when I get to the end :)

Frequently Asked Questions

-What is the difference between the Self Study Course and the Practitioner Course? The Self Study Course is designed for individuals who want to use HTMA for themselves and their family members. It teaches you how to understand mineral patterns, interpret HTMA results, and think more clearly about what the body may be communicating. The Practitioner Course goes much deeper and is intended for those who want to use HTMA professionally in practice. It includes a more advanced level of interpretation, practitioner specific training, clinical application, and additional resources designed to support work with clients. In short, the Self Study Course is for personal and family use, while the Practitioner Course is for those who want to develop practitioner level skills and pursue certification. -Can the Self Study Course be used as a stepping stone toward certification? Yes. For many students, the Self Study Course is a wonderful place to begin. It allows you to build a strong foundation in HTMA, become familiar with the language and patterns, and decide whether you want to go deeper before committing to practitioner level training. If you later decide to join the Practitioner Course, your full pre-tax purchase price of the Self Study Course can be applied toward the Practitioner Course during a future practitioner enrollment period. This means you can begin here with confidence, knowing that your investment can carry forward if certification becomes a future goal. -Who is the Self Study Course for? This course is ideal for individuals who want to better understand HTMA for their own health, their children, or their family members. It is especially helpful for those who want more context around mineral patterns, stress patterns, and the “why” behind common recommendations, without needing practitioner certification. You do not need to be a practitioner or have a clinical background to benefit from this course. -Do I need prior experience with HTMA to take this course? No. The course was created to be approachable for beginners while still offering meaningful depth. Whether you are brand new to HTMA or have already run tests and want to understand them more clearly, the material is designed to help you build understanding step by step. -Will this course teach me how to read my own HTMA results? Yes. The course is designed to help you understand how to interpret HTMA patterns in a deeper and more meaningful way. Rather than only focusing on what supplement to take, the course helps you learn how to look at the overall mineral picture, identify important patterns, and understand what those patterns may reflect in the body. -Can I use this course to help my children or other family members? Yes. This is one of the main reasons many students join. The course is designed for personal and family use, so it can absolutely help you better understand HTMAs for your children, spouse, or other close family members. -How long will I have access to the course? You will have access to the course for 12 months, and your student benefits continue for the life of the course. That means your discounted HTMAs and 15% off supplements remain available to you not just while you are actively working through the material, but for as long as the course exists. -What student benefits are included with the course? Students in the Self Study Course receive: HTMAs for $100 for themselves and family members, instead of the usual $200 15% off practitioner grade supplements Ongoing access to these benefits for the life of the course These benefits often become one of the most valuable parts of enrollment over time. -Can I take this course even if I am already a current client? Yes. In fact, many current clients find that the course helps them better understand their own patterns and get more out of the work we are doing together.If you are a current or past client who has completed HTMA or bloodwork with me, you may also be eligible for a special client discount on the Self Study Course. Please email me if you are interested. -Will this course certify me to work with clients? No. The Self Study Course is not a certification program and is not intended to train students for professional client work. If your goal is to use HTMA in practice or pursue certification, the Practitioner Course would be the more appropriate path. -What if I am interested in the Practitioner Course but not ready yet? That is exactly why the Self Study Course can be such a helpful place to begin. It gives you the opportunity to start learning now, build a strong foundation, and explore whether you want to continue into practitioner level training later on. And if you do, your full pre-tax Self Study purchase price can be applied toward the Practitioner Course in the future.
