Acupuncture works with you to find your best health. You become more in tune, aware, and present with your physical body as well as your emotions and connection to spirit. This awareness enables you to take better care of your whole self.

Acupuncture is one facet of Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine is a complete system of medicine. That means it has a treatment approach to, well, everything. Another way to see it is that Chinese medicine is an ancient system of healthcare used to treat everyday discomfort, acute and chronic pain, mild and serious diseases, and all realms of mental and emotional dis-ease.  

Acupuncture is especially equipped to help you handle change in everyday life, offering support through the little stuff like a head cold, and the big stuff like major surgeries or significant life transitions. 5 Element philosophy offers a framework for better understanding the changing seasons of our lives, just as the changing seasons of nature.

“Brooke’s vast knowledge of anatomy and Chinese medicine, in addition to her deep understanding of classical Pilates, makes her a unique and exceptional teacher.” — Gita

Chinese Medicine is a healing art that also helps us connect to our bodies, and in turn feel the connection of our bodies to our spirit and our own self healing. 

Understanding 5 Element philosophy in your Pilates & movement practice helps you to know where to begin and how to grow roots. It’s about tuning in first, progressing your workout, being true to you with new challenges, learning when to go big and where to find the rungs on the ladder leading you towards showing up fully to do really hard things.

  • Water Element , winter season ~ the seed where it all begins. True authenticity, knowing and self reflection. Your deep reserves and unlimited potentional.

  • Wood Element, spring time ~ the strength, tenacity and courage growth demands and simultaneously the ease, flexibility and willingness to bend, adapt and pivot.

  • Fire Element, summer ~ so expansive and playful, expressive and joyful. Here to be seen and feel it all.

  • Earth Element, late summer harvest season ~ abundance, enoughness, contentedness and true connection. The just right feeling of coming home to ourselves.

  • Metal Element, fall season ~ the greatest of all exhales. Release to refine. Let go to know value and honor endings where the richness resides for the life cycle to begin again.

 “I believe in Chinese Medicine and the way Brooke merges Pilates with Chinese Medicine is absolutely amazing and also, it allows me to understand how the practice of Pilates is significant in how we live our life. So as I say, Pilates to me is now a Lifestyle!

The bonus for me too, I have old injuries that limited my range, and all of those have significantly improved in that I move better and hurt so much less.”
