Whole Person Healthcare

Dr. Dawn Brown is a physician who has trained to work with her hands, diagnosing and treating the whole person.  She feels honored to have received a medical training in osteopathy, which teaches not only what western medicine has to offer in conjunction with an Eastern/holistic philosophy, but in the core of its curriculum it teaches the physician to listen deeply into the dynamic stillness of the therapeutic process, to find neutrality in oneself and ones’ patients, and to uncover the cause of the lesion rather than mere symptom management, leading to a full integration of the lesion back into the therapeutic process and returning the person back to herself as a whole human being.

Through biodynamic and cranial osteopathy, Dr. Brown synchronizes with the rhythms of the patient and the natural world.  And through this synchronization, her practice is to serve as a witness for the innate healing potential of her patients, allowing within them the restoration of health and homeostasis, as tissues adjust reorient and breathe, blockages and traumatic imprints dissolve, and fluids rebalance.  Transformation and transmutation occur throughout the whole.

Through a training in Spacial Dynamics™, Dr. Brown offers movement and spacial awareness practices to assist in relational, educational, social, pedagogical, and therapeutic situations, as well as to encourage artistic, athletic/physical, mental/emotional, and ecological wellbeing.  She combines her background in therapeutic movement with a decade of training in linguistics, through which she support patients in cultivating mindfulness around communication and offers tools for enhancing perceptual awareness and the ability to use language effectively, and in a manner supportive of health and healing.

In addition, Dr. Brown encourages the proper nourishment of the individual through offering nutritional and supplemental support. She sees a variety of patients who are interested in whole-person health care, spanning the age spectrum from newly-born infants to senior adults, including but not limited to children with developmental challenges, athletes, dancers, musicians, writers, individuals with history of accident or trauma, repetitive use strain, chronic fatigue or chronic illness.  See below for a more complete list of conditions treated.

Dr. Brown received a medical degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, and an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from Pomona College. She is adjunct faculty at Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Vallejo, CA, and considers herself fortunate to study under the osteopathic lineage following from Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O., to William Sutherland, D.O., and finally to her current teachers (including James Jealous, D.O.).
