Liana Brooks-Rubin brings a rare blend of ancient wisdom and modern insight to her work as a practitioner of Acupuncture and Classical Chinese Medicine. Her journey with Chinese Medicine began as a patient in 2004 when she sought healing from the physical and emotional impacts of trauma. During this time, Liana developed profound respect for the body's innate capacity to heal and a deep curiosity about the interconnectedness between lifestyle, environment, and health.

​

 

In 2009, Liana left a career at the U.S. State Department to study Chinese Medicine. In 2013, she completed her Masters of Acupuncture and Masters of Oriental Medicine at Tai Sophia Institute. From 2013-2023, Liana maintained a private clinic in Washington, D.C. where she provided high-quality, individualized care to thousands of clients using the time-tested principles and modalities of Classical Chinese Medicine, including Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Cupping, Gua Sha, Dietary Therapy and Tui Na Bodywork.

Liana’s holistic approach is designed to uncover the root of symptoms and empower clients to identify and ultimately resolve blocks to living in alignment with their highest health and wellness potential. While she is experienced in treating a range of physical, mental, and emotional issues, Liana specializes in treating complex internal medicine conditions, autoimmunity, women’s health, and psycho-spiritual disharmonies. Her clients often continue in treatment after the resolution of their initial symptoms, reporting improved immunity, decreased stress, better sleep, greater clarity, and an enhanced quality of life.

Liana is a devoted learner on the medicine path with a deep reverence for the ancient and indigenous roots of Classical Chinese Medicine. In 2025, she is immersed in mentorships in Classical Chinese Medicine and Esoteric Acupuncture. In 2021, Liana’s path took a transformative turn in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, where she was initiated into the Mahua-Lopez lineage of the Shipibo-Konibo tribe, deepening her connection to the Earth and its sacred plant medicines.

​

 

Liana's approach as a practitioner is a testament to her understanding, informed by ancestral and indigenous cosmologies, about the interconnectedness of All-of-Life. She skillfully weaves together the precision of Chinese medicine with its Taoist spiritual roots, creating a holistic framework that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being.

Liana is thrilled to have recently returned to Tucson, her childhood home. When not in the clinic, Liana loves spending time with her family and friends, traveling the world, writing, hiking, swimming, and singing to plants.
