Founded by the visionary Dawn Warner in August 2020, we began our journey as a beacon of hope and knowledge in the online world back in 2019. This is the first Myasthenia Gravis holistic organization that was founded by a Black woman in Georgia. Our roots are deeply embedded in the philosophy that holistic wellness is not just an idea, but a way of life. This conviction was born from Dawn's personal battle and triumph over myasthenia gravis, a journey that not only challenged her physically but ignited a passion to bridge the gap between traditional and alternative health practices.
Dawn's remarkable story, showcased in her inspiring TEDx Talk and shared on her blog at www.Snowflakewellness.com, reflects her indomitable spirit. Diagnosed in 2003 after two years of unexplained symptoms, Dawn faced the daunting world of health disparities and biases head-on. Her commitment to the myasthenia gravis community is evident in her decade-long advocacy, during which she not only co- led support group meetings in Atlanta but also played a pivotal role in raising awareness and funds through the MG Walks.
Drawing from her previous corporate marketing and recruiting experience, entrepreneur endeavors, coupled with 20-years expertise in managing both holistic and internal medical practices, she was driven to create an organization that truly made an impact in the everyday lives of people diagnosed with MG.
" I believe that when we experience personal growth and wellness, it is our responsibility to share that knowledge and support other on their journey. I didn't strive for success in isolation; my goal was to empower my MG community with the tools and wisdom I've acquired. Making a positive impact on even one person's life makes every step of the journey worthwhile." - Dawn Warner, CEO
Dawn envisioned a society where the collective wisdom of traditional naturopathy and modern medicine could coalesce. The MG Holistic Society Inc. is the realization of that vision, focusing on six key initiatives designed to nurture the whole person:
Our inclusive approach has led to the creation of support group chapters that cater to diverse communities, including Black with MG, an Autoimmune Pride support group, and a general myasthenia gravis group that welcomes individuals from all walks of life.
Innovation is at the heart of our mission. Our unique offerings, such as the Vision Board Program, Hope's Pantry, Health Coaching Scholarships, Eye Patch Program, Wellness Retreats, and Farm to Table Workshops, are crafted to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives despite their diagnosis.
Our commitment extends beyond individual wellness to community engagement. In partnership with two medical schools, we aim to foster awareness and understanding of myasthenia gravis among future healthcare professionals. Our dedication to community outreach was demonstrated through our successful completion of 16 engagement events in 2024, surpassing our goal of six annually.
Our support group chapters include:
