Maricela opened Brook to make acupuncture easy to try. She starts each visit with the pulse and the belly, and she is known for talking a nervous person through every step.
About
A small practice, built around a gentle approach
Brook is two acupuncturists in one quiet room. We practice Japanese-style acupuncture: fine needles, shallow insertion, a lot of touch, and tools that press or tap without going in.
We built it for people who have wanted to try acupuncture and put it off because of the needles. You set the pace. Nothing is inserted unless you say yes, and a visit with tools only is a full visit.
How we work
One acupuncturist per visit
Sixty minutes for a first visit
Tools only, if you prefer
Who you will see
Maricela and Ali
You see one acupuncturist per visit. Ask for the same one again, or for the other.
Ali works slowly and explains as he goes. He likes to begin with the rounded tools and move to a needle only when you are ready.
