Meet Dr. Lucy Brooks, DAOM
Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine
Serving South Florida from Boynton Beach — where doctoral-level TCM training meets over 20 years of hands-on healing experience.
A Journey Rooted in Healing
Dr. Lucy Brooks' path to becoming a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine began with over 20 years of therapeutic massage experience. This foundation gave her deep understanding of the body's soft tissues, energy pathways, and the profound connection between touch and healing.
Seeking to expand her ability to help patients at a deeper level, she pursued formal education at the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, one of the region's most respected TCM programs. She earned her Bachelor's in Health Science, Master of Oriental Medicine, and ultimately her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM).
This unique combination — doctoral-level TCM training paired with decades of hands-on therapeutic experience — gives Dr. Lucy a rare depth of understanding. She doesn't just treat symptoms; she sees the whole person and builds treatment plans that address the root causes of health challenges.

The philosophy behind the practice
Rooted in a 2,000-year tradition
Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the world's oldest and most continuously practiced medical systems. Its core principle — that every symptom has an underlying pattern of imbalance — is what separates it from symptomatic treatment alone.
Dr. Lucy trained at the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine (大西洋中医学院), where she studied classical theory, herbal pharmacology, acupuncture technique, and diagnostic pattern differentiation — earning the highest clinical degree the field offers.

Treatment Philosophy
Dr. Lucy's philosophy is simple: target the root cause, not just the symptoms. In her practice, this means taking the time to understand each patient's unique health history, lifestyle, and goals before creating a personalized treatment plan.
She combines the precision of her doctoral training with the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and infrared therapy to support the body's natural healing processes — without the use of pharmaceutical interventions.
“Most clinics treat your symptoms. I treat you — the whole person, not just a collection of complaints.”
— Dr. Lucy Brooks, DAOM
