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 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 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, cosmetic acupuncture, dermatology, and general wellness. I am a certified Chinese Medicine dermatologist and studied with Mazin Al-Khafaji.
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
