Loocie Brown, MEd, MAc
Loocie came into the practice of Chinese medicine as a patient twenty-three years ago. Receiving acupuncture for the first time was an experience of both welcome relief from pain mixed with a sense of deep relaxation. It is from that experience that she views each of her patients. Loocie has been in private practice in Lexington, MA for fifteen years and has hosted over seventy-five NESA clinical assistants in that time.
Loocie graduated from Lesley University with a master’s in education in 1982, and worked in AIDS research and treatment until 1995 at Fenway Community Health Center in Boston. She joined the faculty of NESA that same year and is currently an assistant professor. Loocie has also worked with a range of groups to promote acupuncture as a first-line treatment approach. Her current focus is on advanced auricular therapy techniques for pain control as well as scalp acupuncture treatment of motor/sensory disorders related to Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
