I have seen other acupuncturists, but none compare to Brooke. I went to her for a variety of issues (osteotitis, irregular periods, sugar cravings) and with her gentle and holistic approach she sought to first gain a better understanding on my conditions and then treat them with acupuncture. Her training in Chinese medicine and immense knowledge of the physio and mental aspects of disease along with her non-judgmental and humble attitude really sets her apart. I would most definitely recommend Brooke!

Brooke Moen is one of, if not the best, doctors in San Francisco. A caring, compassionate person, Brooke is also the most capable person that I can recommend. She is well trained, well informed and absolutely spot on when it comes to diagnoses. I can not give her enough praise for the work she has done for me.

If you're looking for an acupuncturist who cares about the little details and takes the time to consider them all, Brooke is the person you're looking for. I went to her last year after being very disappointed with a famous acupuncturist who saw patients in her expensive downtown clinic and had her assistants stick the needles and then ask for the $200 each session.
Brooke offered me what I had hoped to find: a sliding scale to meet my needs, a very individualized, dedicated, attentive, and patient approach in each session. She made time to discuss all my concerns and made very helpful suggestions on my diet while remaining respectful to my own choices.
Brooke has an exceptionally holistic, grounded, and balanced approach to the body as a system that functions as a whole and that and I always left her healing space feeling more wholesome, energized, and centered. In addition, Brooke is one of those healers who won't hesitate to direct you to another provider if she finds that you may benefit more from a different level of expertise.
If you're about to make a choice of a personal acupuncturist who will listen and care, go with Brooke.

Brooke has been my acupuncturist for years. When I was a struggling grad student, her treatments nursed me through multiple colds, chronic exhaustion and menstrual difficulties. I don't know how I would have survived all that stress without such care! Now that I'm less stressed, she provides the perfect treatments to rebuild my immunity and health. She is both warm and caring, and extremely competent. Her treatments awaken my own body's healing capacity, and I always feel energy powerfully moving through my body during session. She also provides awesome suggestions for diet, lifestyle and supplements. I completely trust her as an acupuncturist and would recommend her to anyone.

Brooke is an exceptional acupuncturist and a warm compassionate provider. She is an excellent listener and always takes all the time I need for me to complain about my aches and pains as well as my emotional ups and downs. She is savvy and hip and understands how to use the ancient tradition of Chinese Medicine in our crazy world. I always feel relaxed, rejuvenated and refreshed after a visit with Brooke. The feeling I get after a session is sort of like hanging out with my girlfriends at the bar and eating Grandma's homemade fresh from the oven ginger cookies (minus the cocktails and cookies) all rolled into one.
Really... if you have never tried acupuncture and are interested in seeing what its all about, or have been going for years and want to see what another practitioner is like, I definitely recommend that you make an appointment with Brooke.
ps. Great magazines in the waiting room (although I never really wait more than a minute).

Brooke Moen
has got to be one of the most amazing acupuncturist in our time! She
is so insightful and considerate as well as very educated in the body.
She cured so many of my "issues" and I recommend her highly to any of
you out there who are interested in true health. As a result of
working with Brooke I have seen my energy level and positive feelings
increase substantially. I had problems with my legs that were reduced
to a point I hardly notice. She is very fair and well worth your time
if you care about real healing.

There's nothing better than a kick ass massage, soak in mineral baths, or a good therapy session to get your relax on. Having never tried acupuncture I'd always been curious as to whether and how it compares. When a friend recommended Brooke Moen I gave it a shot. I'm not a huge fan of needles so this was a big step. Brooke took a detailed health and well-being history and made me feel comfortable talking about these personal details. She decided to focus on my symptoms of exhaustion and a slight cold. When she inserted the needles I barely felt it, but, wow! Currents of energy really radiated in my body! After a fabulous rest period I left the office feeling renewed. Working with Brooke is a great way to relax and maintain general health or work on specific issues.

I saw Brooke for both headache relief and stress relief. I was very nervous because I had never had acupuncture before. Brooke created a very healing space and from the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. Brooke was fully present and sensitive to my needs and concerns. She asked important questions about contributing factors to my stress. I had an ear treatment along with other points. My stress headache diminished within the appointment. She gave me the best shiatsu massage ever on my neck, shoulders, back and limbs. She's got the healing touch that finds the exact point of tension. I've seen other medical practitioners, but this is different. Brooke is a true healer- both with her incredible knowledge of Chinese medicine and treatments, but also as a real human being who makes you feel comfortable just letting go and opening up to exploring the deeper causes of dis-ease.

Dr. Moen is a true healer. She is incredibly generous with her time, and extremely thorough. When I first saw Dr. Moen I was in bad shape--a couple years of Mono-like symptoms, constant fatigue, sore throat, poor immune system, etc. I had seen many western doctors who barely gave me the time of day, and I felt hopeless. My first appointment with Dr. Moen she spent 2 1/2 hours with me to get my whole medical history and just listen to my pulse. I was amazed. I have been getting treatments with her weekly for a couple months now, and I feel so much more alive. Literally after a couple treatments all my friends notice that color came back into my face. She is incredibly intelligent, insightful, and compassionate. It is helpful that she will explain things from both the Western and Eastern perspective so you know exactly why she is suggesting certain herbs or remedies. She will also follow up with you, emailing you in between appointments to see how you're doing and make more suggestions. Dr. Moen was my life-saver.

Brooke is a excellent acupuncturist. I am not a consistent acupuncture patient, but turn to it when ailments are extreme and western medicine does not seem to be working. Recently I saw Brooke for several weeks, everyday towards the end of my pregnancy. She helped treat my high blood pressure and platelet disorder. She understood what was happening in western medical terms and could translate it into Chinese Medicine terms. She is competent, thoughtful, listens well, gentle and has great bedside manner. She cares tremendously about her patients and works with you to get the results you want.
