Meet Dr. Colleen Brown
A balanced healer...
When Dr. Brown is not treating patients her favorite past time is creating art. She is a local mixed media artist with art in local shops and galleries in the valley. Her favorite subjects to paint are angels and horses. Sometimes the healer needs healing and art truly heals!
Dr. Brown believes in pursuing all her creative passions. She became a best selling author in January 2019 with the publication of "When I Rise, I Thrive". She won a Rising Star Award from As You Wish Publishing for her work in the best selling book, "Healer".
​
She also enjoys yoga, tennis, travel and spending time with family and friends. Dr. Brown has two cats named Sally and Roker, a new puppy named Hope Hollyhock and a horse named Wyatt.
