LIANA

My Story

I began my career focused on Israeli-Palestinian coexistence and subsequently dedicated over a decade to refugee protection and assistance in the Middle East and South Asia with the State Department.

My early work was rooted in a deep commitment to humanitarian efforts and global peace. Despite the rewarding nature of this work, the intense stress and confrontations with the harsh realities of conflict zones began to manifest physically and emotionally in me, leading me to seek solace and healing in yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and herbal medicine.

This personal healing journey sparked a PASSION and steered me toward a path that would BLEND my vast international experience with a more INTIMATE approach to addressing personal and collective trauma.

In 2013, I made a pivotal shift, opening my own clinic as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine.

This was not merely a career change but a calling to deepen my impact on individual lives through the transformative power of healing. Trained in Classical Chinese Medicine and initiated in the potent plant medicine traditions of the Amazonian Shipibo-Konibo tribe, my practice is a synthesis of my broad expertise, intuitive gifts, and a heartfelt desire to guide others toward wellness and self-discovery.

True healing encompasses the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects of being — a philosophy that has been shaped by my diverse background and profound understanding of human resilience and interconnectedness.

Biography

Liana Brooks-Rubin, a beacon in the realms of healing and transformation, brings a rare blend of ancient wisdom and modern insight to her work as a medicine woman, teacher, and spiritual coach. Her journey began when she sought healing from the physical and emotional impacts of trauma, during which she cultivated a profound respect for the body's innate capacity to heal and ultimately followed a deep calling to explore the more mystical dimensions of healing.

This quest led her to the rich traditions of Chinese medicine, where she immersed herself in the study and practice of yoga, acupuncture, herbalism, and Taoist healing arts, emerging as a licensed practitioner with over eighteen years of experience. Her 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 medicine.

Liana's approach is a testament to her understanding, informed by ancestral and indigenous cosmologies, about the interconnectedness of all life. She skillfully weaves together the precision of Chinese medicine with the spiritual depth of Amazonian plant medicine, creating a holistic framework that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. Her sessions, whether in the form of one-on-one healing, group ceremonies, or online courses, are infused with the intention to guide individuals toward their highest potential.

Through her work, Liana not only shares her extensive knowledge and experience but also embodies the role of a bridge-builder, connecting her clients to the deeper truths of their existence and the universal wisdom that flows through all traditions.
