Dori C. Brown

Owner,
Physical Therapist &
Certified Nutrition Response Testing Practitioner

I have always been a science-and-math-loving girl. As a child, my mind was already connected to dissecting and problem solving. I loved the challenge of figuring out how things worked, and most especially…how they could be made to work even better.

I went to college at Iowa State University. I then went on to earn my Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Iowa, which was the #1 School in the nation for PT at that time.

I started out as a PT staff person for a large corporation and quickly realized that this was not for me. I decided to become a business owner just one year out of graduate school. Seeds of Change was founded in 1998.

From the beginning, Seeds of Change (SOC) offered a unique approach to Physical Therapy. I have always done things my own way and created my own path and SOC was no exception. I believe that everyone has unique needs, a unique path and a clear yearning for something more.  I have never been interested in the one-size-fits-most. I believe there are many ways to get where you want to go. So my approach has always been: “Let’s figure out what is best for you and go that way.”

For 15 years or so, I ran SOC solely as a Physical Therapy practice…a unique, caring and successful one. After the birth of my son, my new direction for my work became clear to me through a very personal experience with his health. Through seeing the radical, life-saving results offered by Nutritional Response Testing (NRT) in my son’s situation, I knew I wanted to add NRT to my own list of treatment options.

At SOC, I offer both PT and NRT as it allows me to address a wider array of health concerns and support more people in healing. It is my expectation that every client will receive exceptional care and experience outstanding outcomes. My goal is to treat each client as if he or she was a member of my family. I care deeply about the people in my life and am driven every day to offer them the very best opportunities to optimize their health. I believe that all of the moments in my life have led me to this place and time, so that I can utilize my unique gifts and experiences in support of healthier community.
