Her family frequently used Chinese herbs alongside Western medicine, which gave her a broad perspective on health and healing and sparked the desire to delve into the world of complementary medicine as a practitioner. She studied Human Biology and Dance as an undergraduate at Stanford University and, after a professional dance career in NYC, Brooke fulfilled her early aspirations by attending Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and earning her Master's in Traditional Oriental Medicine. She is currently a Licensed Acupuncturist in the state of New York and is nationally certified in Chinese Herbology (NCCAOM).
