Dr. Dawn’s hands-on treatment restored my entire system’s balance following treatment for cancer. After all my body had endured with traditional chemotherapy and radiation, I found Dawn’s work to be incredibly powerful in its gentleness. I was amazed to feel not only an immediate sense of peace, harmony and renewed energy, but also to discover a more empowered outlook on my life and health. Thanks with all my heart!”

“How do you describe the experience of a treatment with Dawn – the magic of her hands, and the quality of her therapeutic presence is beyond words. Imagine a physician and a way of healing that uses, collaborates with, and guides your body into its natural state of balance and vitality, and that leaves you empowered with your own health in ways you have never experienced. This is the space that Dawn holds. Weeks after a session, I can still feel the treatment working on me – things continue to integrate,
I feel a renewed sense of calm, openness, and clarity, and old injuries and patterns feel like they are dissolving. As a registered nurse and a martial artist, I have spent a lot of time experiencing and watching different ways of working with the body and healing, and I can honestly say that I have never experienced anything like what Dawn offers – I can’t recommend her services highly enough.”

Dr. Brown not only treats the whole body in the traditional osteopathic sense but her calm, caring and compassionate bedside manner treats the whole person. In fact, she does something that I can only describe as osteopathy of the soul. After each treatment that I have had with Dawn, not only is the heaviness removed from my body but I feel that the gentle intensity of her compassionate spirit actually incites the healing rhythms within my own soul. Whether as a bodily experience or a soul healing one, I highly recommend Dr. Dawn Brown.”

“I came in to see Dr. Brown for a chronic back spasming pain that PT, Massage, Acupuncture and Chiropractic services could not heal. She has a very peaceful demeanor which reflects the still healing inherent in osteopathic work. With her guidance, work and time spent educating me, I was able to get relief from the pain and ultimately access the health of my system so it could work more clearly to nourish the pained area. Her deep belief in the healing system of the body gave me confidence and hope that I was not doomed to chronic pain. It was replaced with an ability to live more deeply in my body rather than 10 feet away from it. I would recommend Dr. Brown in a heartbeat!”

Dr. Brown is uncommonly gifted and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her style is very subtle but the work is extremely powerful. I myself am receiving treatment from her twice monthly. I have not requested this of another osteopath in years, so I can’t tell you how happy I am about her arrival. I encourage you to experience her work if you can.”

— Michelle Veneziano, D.O.



“While in the past I felt hesitant about having healing work done with my body, any resistance I felt was washed away as I observed the sheer purity of Dr. Brown’s intention for my well-being. Having never been exposed to “subtle” work, I felt amazed by her wisdom.
Instead of “forcing” healing onto my body, I came to see how my body really heals itself as her treatments activate my innate healing potential. My experience is that Dr. Brown is facilitating for “your” space to expand into the infinite, as you begin to see the world within you. She has a true gift, and I can only hope that many more get to experience her presence, warmth, and beautiful soul.”

A session with Dawn is an invitation to reconnect with the original, innately healthy ground-plan of your being. Her deep knowledge of the body’s systems, her sensitivity to the body’s subtle flows of energy, and her ability to harmonize these flows with the “great tide” of cosmic energy that surrounds us, make for a rare gift of healing. I have experienced significant improvement of even chronic issues from a single visit. I recommend her most enthusiastically!”

“What do you call it when you’ve been in fairly chronic pain for three years from a back injury and have explored just about every treatment modality available and then you suddenly find relief?  Until two months ago, I would have called it wishful thinking. Now I call it Dr. Brown.  Dr. Dawn Brown is one of those rare practitioners who combines a medical background with profound insight and empathy, and in just a few sessions she has helped restore my body to pain-free “normalcy.”  I highly recommend Dr. Brown; her skills as a healer have transformed my just-getting-by days into enjoying being myself again.”
