This week’s guest is Dr. Amy Novotny, Founder of the PABR Institute which focuses on a treatment method that she developed while studying the nervous system and breathing.

Dr. Novotny was a practicing physical therapist when she came up with the PABR method after experiencing extreme stress and drama in her own life. She was preparing for the Boston Marathon at the time. She started testing the method and process on others and now has her own practice.

Additionally, Dr. Novotny is an ultra-marathon runner. Astoundingly, she once ran 102.88 miles in 24 hours! She has done many races including an Iron Man Triathlon. Besides her practice and her running, Dr. Novotny is also an accomplished nature photographer. She even traveled from Arctic Norway and Finland to Antartica for 6 months with a photographer, hired on to treat him using the PABR method and also doing photography herself.

We talk about all of this and how she used the 6 months she was away to explore what she wanted to do next in her life and how facing unexpected adversity let to her building up her resilience.

Note from Rabiah (Host):

I think what I really enjoyed about speaking with Dr. Novotny was that she is another great example of a person who pursued what she wanted and found the resources needed to make things happen. I think we all do this more than we realise but don’t think to celebrate it very often. I appreciate that she took the time to acknowledge her own achievements with me but also that she was honest about struggles along the way. That authenticity makes for an episode I’m very proud to share with you!
