“From Poverty to Six Figures: The Path to Financial Wellness”

Dawn Santoriello is eager to inspire each one of us to reach a balance with our money dreams.

The author of the new book The Spiritual Path to Prosperity: The Truth About Money Revealed, (July 2021), believes there are simple steps to financial wellness.

“It’s all about getting out of your way,” says the Certified Financial Planner™ an accountability coach and inspiring mentor. “We need to combine spirituality with the financial know-how to figure out how to manifest money, and properly invest it; I keep it simple and I know that it works.”

Santoriello, who currently resides in King of Prussia and is moving to Yardley in August, has lived through her own financial difficulties, from growing up poor and living in and out of foster care as a five-year-old child, because her grandmother couldn’t afford to care for her and her sister and brother. In fact, she developed a black hole in her front tooth because going to a dentist was considered to be an extravagance.

“I learned that I never wanted to be poor again, so I became fascinated with making and saving money,” she explains. “I also wanted to help and inspire others who may be in the situation that they think is impossible to overcome, and show them they can meet any challenge.”

But by using tenacity, determination, and drive as an adult, she was able to turn her own finances around. In fact, she is not only sharing her advice in the U.S. and Canada, but as far as the Philippines, India, and Qatar.

“A few years ago,” she explains, “I was trapped in a parking lot with $200 to my name and I was a financial planner!”

“I knew how to make money for my clients and had all the analytical skills I needed, but because I was spiritually blocked around money, I wasn’t making it for myself,” Santoriello said. “Once I cleared my blocks, used the law of attraction, and used my own principles, I set forth my own financial health and began making 6-figures that year.”

How did she transform her own financial wellness? “I let go of my fear and I let my mess be my message. I am a spiritual/metaphysical person, so, I’m not afraid to show that, and it has actually become my niche: combing spirituality and money.”

Her method was to let go of fear and have faith that everything would work out for the best. “The prayer that I teach in my webinars are “Releasing the 5 Biggest Money Blocks That Are Holding You Back: How A Prayer for Abundance and Real-World Investment Strategies Changed my Life and Change Yours, Too!”

Santoriello is more than a typical financial adviser, she is a coach and a guide. For many individuals, this is an extremely confusing, complicated, and daunting process.

So, she helps them “reach their financial goals with peace of mind. “I simplify financial topics for my clients including budgeting, investments, and insurance. I educate them, and help them create a flexible financial plan that ebbs and flows as their needs change.”

She also helps her myriad of clients, with diverse backgrounds, implements the solutions that she recommends for them. “Money doesn’t have to be a scary or taboo topic. I am passionate about helping people gain confidence and clarity around their finances.”

What sets Santoriello apart from others in the financial planning industry is clear.

“I am passionate, as anyone who has spent 10 minutes with me can attest to,” she explains. “I am committed to the success of my clients and I put my whole heart into what I do. I help my clients with their money mindset, and I give them the tools to clear any of their money blocks.”

When she hears that her clients have made a major leap in their financial health, her heart swells with joy. “It is truly one of the greatest feelings when others achieve something based on my advice.”
