-Sarah Manolson, Montreal, QC, Canada

"I've had lots of acupuncture and stopped it years ago because it was so painful. Now I've changed my mind. Collyn's touch is so light and sure that I receive all the benefit without pain. She's amazing!"

"Collyn is a practitioner of tremendous skill and intuition. I trusted her immediately and felt that she was able to go deeply into the places in me that needed healing, but cared for me so tenderly that I was not left feeling too raw. The work she does is a brilliant combination of skill and intuition and guidance. She knows how to listen to my words but also to my body. In turn, I always feel extremely cared for and set right again after my sessions with her."

-Arianne Shaffer, Toronto ON

"Collyn has a very subtle and powerful way of healing. I have always liked deep, intense body work, shying away from anything too gentle, but even when she hardly touched me, collyn had such a deep healing force and presence that I felt transformed. I don't know exactly what it is she does, but she's amazing!"

- Batinah Dawdy, Portland OR

"I went to the ER after days of debilitating foot pain, they assured me that is was not broken; but there was nothing else that they could do to help. I then went to Collyn for a treatment, my pain was completely gone by the next morning. Since then I've been telling my friends that I am a believer!"

“Collyn Brown was integral in my survival, helping me through a near-fatal blood clot and then surgery for a benign tumor in my pancreas. I had been extremely ill for some time, couldn't travel, and she came to the house with her box of needles and Chinese medicine. I didn't really know what to expect - I'd just heard marvelous things about her. She was magnificent; her outlook, her questions that directed my attention to healing, her gentle and positive nature, her mind-boggling knowledge of her subject and also of people, gave me confidence that I could heal. I had an extremely long and complicated surgery, and she was a crucial part of the healing team; she came to my surgery and stayed until she knew I was okay. She talked with the surgeons so that she could…”

Diane Huling Reed, NEK, VT

“Collyn is a source of incredible light and positivity. I spent most of my adolescence struggling with my weight. This continued into adulthood. I was no stranger to exercise or a healthy diet. I got to the point, however, where what I was used to doing wasn't effective anymore. That's where Collyn came into the picture. She opened my eyes to a whole new world of medicine and nutrition. Collyn approaches her work with a healing love and energy that I had not experienced. She listens attentively to every need, every concern, every question and puts 100% of herself in every minute she spends with you. I found great success with my weight loss through Collyn's guidance.…”

The Art of Intuitive Eating

By Kristen Lavigne When I was younger, in my teens and twenties, eating was only about survival.  I ate healthy to stay thin, and when I ate out of pleasure it came along with the guilt of possible weight gain.  Eating had nothing to do with nourishing my body and enjoying the wonderful foods that [...]

The Meditation of Movement
