About Mind Body Knox

Our mind and body are one of the same, however, we often forget the importance of caring for
this mind body axis. Fortunately, there are scientifically proven methods to care for our mental and physical health, while reducing the impact of chronic stress.

We all know that practice makes perfect, and that’s where Mind Body Knox comes in. Our goal is to provide a structured time and space for individuals and families to come together to practice in a small group setting that educates and empowers.
‍
We have expertise staff equipped to teach evidence-based skills to assist with coping, relaxation, stress management, and emotional regulation.  We strive to make the classes at Mind Body Knox accessible for all members of our community.  We are excited to help support growth and healthy changes in individuals in Knoxville and beyond.

Meet the Founder

Paige Keisler Collins, LMFT, YTT

Paige Keisler Collins is the owner and founder of Mind Body Knox, LLC.  She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, AAMFT Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor, and Certified Yoga Teacher (CTT 500). Paige also has certification in trauma-informed yoga, prenatal yoga, aerial yoga, Pilates, and breathwork.

Paige has worked as a licensed therapist since 2010, treating children and adults with a wide range of mental and behavioral health struggles.  Paige received extensive training on the science of integrated health in graduate school and has been practicing meditation, breathwork, and yoga herself, as well as incorporating these practices into her work with clients for many years.  Science and research have shown us that body-based interventions are powerful tools for mental and emotional wellness

Over the years Paige noticed that clients recognized the need to better manage stress and take care of themselves, as well as understood the benefits of coping and relaxation skills, however, they have difficulty finding time to actually integrate and apply these skills in their daily lives.  This is not surprising, though. Life is hard, and change is hard, especially given how busy everyone is these days. Also, technology has rapidly changed our lives. Our brains do not have time for rest.  We are constantly under pressure, have unrealistically high expectations, and are experiencing negative emotions such as feeling overwhelmed, defeated, and frustrated. Many individuals rarely get a break, and when they do, it is often filled with unhealthy habits or pure exhaustion. 

Paige pursued yoga teacher training in 2017 as a means to provide well-rounded group services focusing on a mind-body modality to help improve clients' emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. She has taught yoga, breathwork, and meditation in community groups, corporate settings, conferences, and residential treatment facilities.

In 2018, after 8 years in private practice, Paige created Mind Body Knox and combined her work as a therapist and yoga instructor. Then in 2022, Mind Body Knox broadened our horizons by expanding our location, services, and our team.   With the help of her husband, Liam, and her long time friend and colleague, Lynn Smith, they teamed up to bring the dream alive. They purchased unfinished commercial space and designed and built an oasis for mental and physical health that they are incredibly proud of. Mind Body Knox is the first of its kind in our a community - a yoga studio and private offices for mental health therapists all in one location.

Our team grew, and we added a second Knoxville location for additional therapy offices in 2025. Today at Mind Body Knox, 19 mental health therapists, 4 interns, a psychiatrist, and an MD provide their expertise from our private offices.  We are a licensed  mental health outpatient facility through the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Service (TDMHSAS).  Our studio is staffed by an additional 12 professionals who offer a spectrum of wellness services, including yoga, aerial yoga, meditation, and soundbath.  Paige serves as our Executive Director, overseeing all clinical and wellness operations at Mind Body Knox.

We invite you to join us in our wellness studio to relax your mind and move your body.
