Meet Dr. Amy Novotny | Entrepreneur, Doctor of PT, Breathing/Pain Specialist, Speaker, Author, Ultra Marathoner, Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Amy Novotny and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Amy, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Social impact: how does your business help the community or the world?

Pain, stress and anxiety are common health issues that affect nearly everyone in the world. There are many resources out there to address these conditions, but most use an external method to attempt to alleviate these issues, often providing only temporary relief. With the PABR ® Method and this business, I help people worldwide learn how to make internal changes to their nervous system so they can lessen or eliminate pain, stress and anxiety. People don’t realize that most of what they have been taught about how to hold themselves and behave contributes to the symptoms they currently have. It’s a process to unwind this but it’s vital to both physical and mental health. When someone feels better, that creates a cascade effect on all the people interacting with this person. The energy we used to just survive can now be used to serve others, be creative and have a greater impact on the world.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
My business is about helping people all over the world who want to heal naturally by learning how to calm their nervous system and transform their existence. This method helps alleviate all types of pain, sleep issues, stress, anxiety and even the need for orthopedic surgeries. We meet through zoom and clients are coached on how to change their body position and breathing mechanics to elicit changes that are often not achieved with other healing modalities and traditional Western medicine. This has worked for clients who are scheduled for joint replacements, those who have ACL tears, rotator cuff tears or even back disc issues. I have one client, a retired psychologist, who is in her 70’s and was scheduled for a knee replacement in 2016. After a few sessions, she was out of pain and cancelled her surgery. She hasn’t had another injection or pain medication since before our work. Another client, a naturopath, tore his ACL, MCL and had minor fracture. He showed up in a brace limping and after one session, he stopped using the brace and after 4 more sessions, he was walking normally. He returned to tennis after 3 more sessions. No surgery was needed. This also works well in conjunction with mental health treatment to assist those with stress, anxiety and panic. I’ve worked with several business owners who are overwhelmed by anxiety, but they learn how to calm their body to be able to handle the stresses of life and business. Because I came from a clinical background, I had no knowledge of how to run a business and market myself. It was hard and I struggled. I learned along the way and realized that my most important assets were my authenticity and my ability to form good relationships based on the needs of others. Being around those who have a growth mindset also allowed me to discuss ideas about my business for feedback. Some of my deepest beliefs and values are life is a gift and we are given the ability to transform our lives, including our health

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Since I’m very nature-oriented, I would take my friend to Wash Park to walk around the beautiful ponds under the big trees early in the morning. We might grab some lunch along Gaylord St in that neighborhood and go explore Roxborough State Park in the afternoon. Another day, we would head to the Rocky Mountain National Park for some hiking and wildlife photography of elk, deer, bighorn sheep and other critters. We might head into downtown Denver another day and grab food at City o City restaurant and maybe a show. One evening we would definitely head to a concert at Red Rocks. If it’s summer time, we would head out to Guanella pass and hike Mt Bierstadt but in the winter, we would go skiing.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to dedicate this shoutout to Kyle Wilson, former business partner and seminar promoter of Jim Rohn, a famous personal development speaker who has since passed on. Kyle became interested in my methods when he found out that I had helped Rich Dad Poor Dad author, Robert Kiyosaki eliminate some pain that had been plaguing him for over a year. Kyle gave me a chance and invited me to begin presenting at his mastermind events. This helped grow my audience and my reach to be able to help people nationwide. From there, I grew to a worldwide audience and I continue to expand this business to help as many as I can.
