Brooke Cannon Scott L.Ac.
Brooke Cannon Scott, DACCHM
Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine
Brooke Cannon Scott is a nationally certified acupuncturist and herbalist with a Doctorate in Acupuncture and a specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine. Her practice is rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine and shaped by a deep understanding of trauma physiology, relational healing, and the body’s innate intelligence.
Brooke works with people navigating a wide range of experiences including complex chronic conditions, pain, nervous system dysregulation, fatigue, digestive issues, preconception, pregnancy and postpartum, men’s health and the kinds of symptoms that don’t always fit neatly into a diagnosis.
Brooke’s work is grounded in academic research on the nervous system as it relates to acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. By working with the rhythms of your nervous system, which is intimately involved in every single one of your physiological processes, your body’s natural capacity for healing can unfold. As your system feels more supported, it can do what it was designed to do: your breath can deepen, your tension can ease, your energy can flow more freely – healing can begin. Brooke’s treatments are collaborative and deeply attuned to the individual. Brooke values integrative care and works closely with other healthcare providers to ensure your care is comprehensive.
Brooke holds both masters and doctoral degrees from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM). Her studies at NUNM focused on the role of Chinese Medicine in addressing health inequities for intentionally underserved populations. While in school, she was employed at Outside In as the Acupuncture Clinic Assistant where she learned to integrate the principles of harm reduction into a holistic healthcare model. Her doctoral studies focused on classical herbal formulas presented in the canonical herbal text, the Shanghan Lun, as they relate to nervous system adaptive patterns. Following her doctoral work, Brooke completed an 18 month residency in Classical Five-Element Acupuncture™ with senior practitioners David Berkshire DACM LAc and Kimberly Klingele MA LAc. Her greatest teachers are two wise and wildly-perceptive toddlers who facilitate a constant practice of diverging from and returning to the path of connection again and again (and again).
