Lymphatic Drainage 101: Facial Acupuncture vs Botox, What Your Tongue Says About Your Health & The Power Of Chinese Medicine with Brooke Taylor

Hailing from Austin, Texas, Brooke is an acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner. In March of 2018, she founded The Road, a zen space where many can find treatments that help them reach their individual goals around the pursuit of health and well-being through Chinese Medicine. Brooke began a career in skin care after she found her own skin in accelerated aging after spending years in the sun as a flyfishing instructor and guide. She became an esthetician, and eventually moved to Seattle, then Australia where she worked as a global educator and brand manager for a range of organic skincare in the spa industry. She chose to study Chinese medicine to further her skills, knowing she needed the benefit of treating the skin from the inside out – treating the body as a whole allows healing to take place in systems that have a direct impact on the skin, not just topically. Her holistic approach and system works for improving health, skin and wellbeing – you will find yourself sleeping better, have improved digestion, less stress, less pain, less inflammation.
