Read what her friend and colleague Dr Jane Jamieson has to say about her:
"Fiona Brown has the uncanny ability to spot where the body may be in stress and how to help the person resolve it.
She draws on her extensive experience in the fitness industry, as a dancer, a personal fitness trainer, a fitness teacher and a Pilates educator. Fiona has worked with osteopaths, physiotherapists, personal trainers, fitness coaches and all have benefited from her experience and knowledge.
Fiona has an excellent eye and knowledge of the body and can see where posture is out of balance and what is necessary to correct it. Fiona is the consummate teacher who can explain what she is doing in simple terms that make sense.
Many people have Aha! moments when they work with Fiona and they may never see the body in the same light again.
Once you have your eyes opened, they cannot be closed again". ~ Dr Jane Jamieson
