Harmony Brown
AP, L.Ac, CFMP | ACUPUNCTURE PHYSICIAN, CERTIFIED FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONER, MEDITATION INSTRUCTOR, & WELLNESS COACH
Harmony seamlessly integrates holistic and functional medicine with her intuitive understanding of the physical body and emotional health, the root of who we are and their connection to health and healing. As co-owner of Integrative Acupuncture, she has been practicing for over 16 years and still loves every minute of it. By completely immersing herself in holistic medicine, it has taught her so much and brought her so much joy. She is excited to share the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with Functional Medicine’s 21st century approach to wellness with her patients and the community.
As the owner of Reclaim Wellness, she has created a relaxed and nurturing space for patients to slow down, re-center and rediscover their optimal health. Living in a fast paced world with so many distractions, we all need a place that we can retreat to, rebalance and get back in touch with our body and our inner peace.
Deeply embedded throughout the philosophies of both Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine is the principal that all bodies are self-regulating with an innate intelligence to self-heal. What causes suffering and disease are the many factors that disrupt this natural intelligence.
Reclaim Wellness will always be patient-centered and WHOLE PERSON FOCUSED. By this she means, rather than treating symptoms, she will take inventory of the many ways each person has lost balance within their body as well as within their lives and design a plan to re-establish that balance. She is highly motivated to empower and support each patient in making the necessary and positive changes to feel their very best.
PERSONAL STORY
She devoted herself to the study of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine after being diagnosed with cancer first in 1997 and again in 2001, later receiving a stem cell transplant. During her treatments for Lymphoma, she was convinced that there was a missing component to her recovery – a lack of attention to her whole body and mind well-being. She actively sought out and found Traditional Chinese Medicine as the perfect complement to her traditional cancer therapies.
The use of acupuncture and herbal medicine helped her to attain a complete recovery with some degree of herself intact. Fortunately, she can proudly say that she is a cancer survivor
today. Because of this experience, she has committed herself to working with cancer patients like herself to help them in their full body and mind well-being and recovery. She has focused many hours of continuing education in the field of Functional Medicine to combat the growing problem of chronic disease in our country.
This allows her to address the underlying causes of disease by shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient centered approach. She feels strongly that wellness can be achieved by using the time honored practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with the core concepts of Functional Medicine to address the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. She believes that this allows for a better understanding of the origins, prevention and treatment of complex chronic disease.

PERSONAL STORY
My love of acupuncture came out of my own desperation to get relief from my once debilitating sciatic pain. I felt crippled and could barely walk a few steps without wincing in agony from spasms. I had been taking over the counter pain aids for relief and nothing was helping. I remembered always passing by a certain acupuncture practice and decided I had nothing to lose. After receiving a few consecutive treatments my pain was starting to ease. I was sleeping better and wasn’t continuously exhausted due to the pain. The referral pain down my leg was disappearing and I was getting my back. I continued receiving acupuncture and felt like it was my saving grace. When I see patients come in with pain I am not only empathetic but eager to help speed their recovery time and offer helpful advice in prevention.
