Welcome
It was through the search for her own healing, beginning in 2001, that Colleen discovered not only a way to survive, but to thrive. She realized that she needed to strengthen her inner world to fully engage in the world around her. By studying ancient practices in meditation, breathwork, yoga, mindfulness, and more, Colleen learned the skills to move more freely through her heartbreak, health issues and the everyday challenges of the modern world.
Colleen Reilly was a typical “Type ‘A’” personality. Working on Wall Street in a high-pressure job, traveling for business, always on the go. Until one day her life was forever altered, as were all of ours, when the World Trade Towers came down. Colleen’s life path was fundamentally changed that day. The events settled in and, with few coping skills to deal with it, her mental, physical and emotional health began to suffer.
These time-tested methods for grounding one’s self and modulating the nervous system healed Colleen’s decades old immune diseases, helped her lose over one hundred pounds and, most profoundly, brought her heart and soul back to balance.
From this work, Colleen developed the Awareness Based Operating Systems programs and, in 2013, began offering a series of classes to cancer patients at Yale New Haven Health to allow them to participate in their healing. Several years later, she expanded the programs into Norwalk Hospital. At the nurses request, Colleen has since developed interactive resilience programs specifically for the nursing community. These programs are currently being rolled out across the Yale New Haven Health Systems Oncology Centers. Additional programs for other groups of medical professionals are currently in development
Colleen is a Master Integrative Coaching Professional and former Global Trainer at the Ford Institute of Integrative Coaching at JFK University, a Certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor, has studied Self Discovery Conscious Awareness Techniques, attended the Strozzi Institute, is a Certified Montessori Teacher and is a graduate of the Academy of Inner Science: Timeless Wisdom Training, Group Coherence Practice and Collective Trauma Integration.
“She has shown me how to reprogram my nervous system; how to release toxins in my body through various breathing techniques, including body scan relaxation techniques…It allows me to deepen my awareness of me and the world around me- which enhances my thoughts and emotions.
Colleen has brought our group of men and woman to become more caring for each other & closer-there’s a special bond amongst us. I know that I am in a healthier place because of her…I am forever grateful!”
