Brooke Meadows, MAcOM, LAc
Founder & Owner of Vetiver Acupuncture
I grew up in Northern Idaho and Montana and was raised by a mom who believed in the values of natural medicine. Having a love for design, I chose fashion for a career. Along the way, I became acutely aware of what my true calling was, but I pushed it back. I followed my glamorous dream to move to NYC and work in the fashion industry. I lived The Devil Wears Prada glamorous nightmare, which eventually gave me the final push to follow my 'true' dream… to become an acupuncturist. I made the move to Portland, Oregon in 2010 where I attended Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and never looked back. I've been practicing acupuncture since 2013 and I now have a daughter who arrived on my birthday in 2018.
I've incorporated my love for design into my practice space so that you will feel comfortable, relaxed, and hopefully enjoy the aesthetics of the space. Life is stressful and everyone can use a little oasis. I like to incorporate balance and relaxation into my treatments, integrating my knowledge of essential oils, cranial sacral, and Breathwork to further balance your body.
I specialize in women's health, fertility, NAET (allergy elimination), anxiety, facial rejuvenation, and general wellness. I make it my intention to connect with my patients. To allow you to be heard and to find the root of what's going on with you. My technique is gentle, calming, and nourishing... Allowing you to feel your best.
I am amazed daily at what acupuncture is able to heal and its ability to change people's lives. It's ability to naturally balance the body, bring a sparkle to the eyes, the stress to dissipate, the pain to diminish. The list goes on.
It is my pleasure to help your body and mind feel at its best.
Warmest wishes on your path to healing,
Brooke

Lilyanne Mueller, MAcOM, LAc
Lily has a passion for treating psycho-emotional health, menstrual irregularities and musculoskeletal issues. Her treatment style is gentle & soothing. She tailors each session to the individual by actively listening & observing so that each treatment leaves you feeling calm yet vitalized on your personal path to wellness.
Lily graduated from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine with a background in psychology & nutrition. Through personal experience, thousands of hours in class & clinical training, she's gained a thorough understanding of holistic medicine.
In Lily's words, "My interest in the body & health began at a very young age. The way we move, grow, age, & live has always amazed me. I grew up being mesmerized by the way my muscles would ripple beneath my skin when I moved, how the different foods I ate affected me in various ways, & how my complex machine of a body could alternate between health & illness. After years of mysterious symptoms, various trips to specialty clinics, & a handful of misdiagnoses- I tried acupuncture & chinese herbs for the first time and was astounded by the effects. I had been dealing with amenorrhea (lack of a period) for nearly three years. Losing my cycle felt like losing a crucial part of myself, & western medicine had been unable to bring it back. Within a few short months of regular acupuncture & herbs, my cycle returned & my sense of self was restored. After that first treatment & my subsequent healing, I dedicated my life to discovering the methods of ancient chinese medicine & the power of these strange little needles. I simultaneously fell in love with movement as medicine, like yoga & running. I was drawn in by the graceful motion & structured strength these activities offered which furthered my interest & understanding of the body as a whole being with constantly morphing bits that were intimately connected by a strong yet ethereal thread."
