The first-born of three daughters of Dr. Logan and Maryanne Brooks, I grew up in Tallahassee playing tennis and basketball. Even as a child, I had a desire to help those hurting, and began my undergraduate training in Pre-Med. However, after my first year at Furman University, a hormonal imbalance forced me to take a leave of absence.

During this time, I sought the care of experienced practitioners in multiple fields. Under Acupuncture Physician Min Tian, I found restored health. This novel experience impacted me greatly and caused me to reassess future training.

After earning my Psychology degree, I decided to pursue a doctorate degree in Naturopathic medicine from an accredited institution. I recognized that acupuncture was a powerful tool in my healing, and pursued a Master in Acupuncture simultaneously.

During training, I completed an acupuncture internship and additional hours in the Pain Clinic at Cook County Hospital. After graduation, I treated patients with medical issues including addiction, infertility, weight management and depression at Health Up Wellness Center, a private practice.

I have studied individualized nutrition, acupuncture, supplementation, homeopathy, Western and Chinese herbal medicine and hydrotherapy. I look forward to helping all our patients, especially those suffering from autoimmune conditions, thyroid disorders and women’s health complaints.

When I am not working with patients, you may find me practicing yoga, shopping at a thrift store or singing at the top of my lungs!
