Brooke Higgins\, D.O.M\, A.P\, L.Ac is a Licensed and Board Certified Primary Care Physician specializing as an Acupuncture Physician. She is a professional member of the Acupuncture Association of Florida. Dr. Brooke grew up in a Health and Wellness Industry. Her mother\, Nanci Folk\, was the creator and owner of award-winning lifestyle spas. The environment was rich with Eastern philosophy and whole body healing approaches to health. Any ailments Brooke would have were cured with a gentle integrative approach\, which educated her on the body&rsquo\;s amazing capabilities of healing. Brooke found in passing that Eastern and an integrative approach to medicine in our Western society was foreign to a lot of Americans. With her passion for connecting the mind\, body and spirit to medicine\, Brooke knew her calling was to become a Doctor of Oriental Medicine.

These unique and rigorous medical programs are highly respected\, consisting of thousands of hours of Chinese Medical\, Herbology and Biomedical course work\, as well as extensive clinical training. Brooke was in the first graduating class to be certified in Neuro-Acupuncture and Tension Point Therapy under the guided teachings of the university&rsquo\;s president\, Dr. Han. In 2012\, by exceptional performance to contribute and render public and community health\, contributing to Pastoral Hospital Foundations and to world good\, The Sacred Medical Order of the Knights of Hope honored her as a Medical Diplomat.
\n
\n \; Dr. Brooke practices the practical effectiveness of this ancient art of science and healing. She values every opportunity to help patients\, and passionately shares its power to help people find relief from their ailments on the physical levels and beyond.
