Welcome
Brandon came to know Chinese Medicine as an integral part of his own healing journey. He left a successful career in engineering as well as the western model of care to seek out help for his own state of dis-ease by traveling the countries of Asia. It is there that he discovered the efficacy of Thai massage and witnessed firsthand the massive power and simplicity of the acupuncture needle that almost instantly cured him of an ailment that western medicine had been unable to effectively remedy in over a year of treatment. In addition to obtaining the Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine, Brandon completed a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Classical Chinese Medicine where his continued study of the classical texts and cultural arts inform and deepen his practice of this ancient art form.
His story and that of his clients has consistently been one of transformation. He is committed to connecting with you and providing you the safety and healing you need to move through whatever healing challenges you may be facing. He believe that when the body and mind are balanced, you have the ability to heal naturally without harmful side effects of modern pharmaceuticals.
As a practitioner of an ancient craft, Brandon can offer you a different perspective than what you would hear in a western doctor's office. More and more this is an invaluable service for his clients, as it allows them to make an informed decision about the myriad of healthcare choices available. Because Chinese Medicine is a complete form of medical practice it has a variety of applications. Please explore the links to the left to learn more about this unique and powerful medicine.
Brandon Brown lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Ashlie Hempstead, ND, LAc and their daughter Maizie.
