Why Natural Flow of Life Acupuncture and Herbs?
I have always been a big advocate of going with the natural flow of life when it comes to deciding what my next move will be or if I should move on a new opportunity. Through my love for nature and spending countless amounts of time within nature, I have learned that nature can teach us so much about how our bodies naturally connect with each of its individual organs and systemic connections. Nature also has a natural way of dealing with imbalances and disharmonies using natural tools that it already has. Our bodies also mirror this concept when dealing with disharmony. We already have the tools within us to deal with disharmonies, but sometimes those natural signals are impeded and need to be redirected or told to focus on a certain imbalance. This is where I come in with my approach. Utilizing Traditional Chinese Medicine and all of its modalities (Acupuncture, Herbs, Cupping, Moxibustion, TCM Nutrition, Lifestyle Changes, etc), the body can be told and directed to where it needs to focus its attention on re-balancing itself thus restoring the natural flow within the body.
Meet Dr. Corey Brown, DAOM, M.S.TCM, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM)
Dr. Corey Brown is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. He is a Licensed Acupuncturists in Denver Colorado. His journey into this awesome world of Chinese Medicine began years ago. He initially took the path of becoming a Western medical doctor as helping people was always a passion of his. Growing up, he always took interest into natural healing remedies such as the healing effects of certain teas and herbs. He would do countless research and reading on the benefits and healing of natural foods and teas. It was always a passion deep down within him for knowledge of holistic healing, but he didn't know how he would be able to utilize a holistic approach in the model of Western Medicine which doesn't primarily focus on holistic healing. He didn't desire to be a physician that only treated the branch (symptoms) of diseases and not focus on the root (cause) of the diseases.
Fast forward years later, a mentor of his who is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine recommended that he look into Traditional Chinese Medicine as it fit into the kind of holistic approach that he always had wanted to have as a healer. With hesitancy, he gathered some books and started to read up on the history and philosophy of Chinese medicine and also how it compares to Western medicine. His mind was immediately blown away and something inside of him just clicked and said this is it! This is exactly the kind of approach that he had always envisioned himself being as a healer. He immediately pursued the process of studying Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine which involved him moving to Denver, Colorado to start a Masters program in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Through the years in his Masters program, he got countless confirmations that he had chosen the right path and had finally found his purpose as a healer. When a patient would come back and say that their symptoms had improved or disappeared, he would get so excited that he would have to compose himself most of the time. He also has gotten so much relief from chronic health issues that he suffered with for years through acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy, and dietary changes. He is so excited to be able to share this knowledge of healing with the world and focus on treating and helping those that seek his gifts of healing.
He holds a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) from Colorado Chinese Medicine University in Denver, Colorado, representing the pinnacle of education in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). His expertise is deeply rooted in the principles of Classic Chinese Medicine (CCM), which has significantly enhanced his clinical practice.
Throughout his advanced studies, Corey has immersed himself in the seminal texts of Chinese Medicine, including the "Huang Di Nei Jing" (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), "Nan Jing" (The Classic of Difficult Issues), "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" (The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica), and "Shang Han Lun" (Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders). This extensive engagement with classic literature has provided him with a profound understanding of the interconnections between Chinese Medicine theory, the cosmos, and the environment.
In his practice, Corey skillfully integrates acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and other therapeutic techniques to enhance the vital energy (qi) of his patients, aiming to inspire health and well-being through holistic and time-tested approaches.

Hobbies
Capoeira
Corey has dedicated 15 years to studying the Afro-Brazilian martial art of Capoeira, which has been a constant and influential part of his life. For the past eleven years, he has also taught Capoeira classes to both adults and children. Capoeira, a martial art disguised as a dance, was developed in Brazil by African slaves as a form of rebellion against oppression. It is performed to the sounds of singing and music played by an orchestra of instruments. Due to the fear of rebellion, African slaves were not allowed to fight openly, so they practiced in secret, disguising their movements as dance when slave masters approached.
Capoeira has significantly shaped Corey, contributing to his development of self-confidence, self-awareness, high self-esteem, a constant longing for wisdom, and perseverance. He has found a deep connection between the philosophies of Capoeira and Chinese medicine, which has enriched his understanding and practice of both disciplines.

Singing
Corey grew up surrounded by music in New Orleans, Louisiana, a city renowned as the birthplace of Jazz. His grandmother, a talented singer, performed background vocals for local artists such as Aaron Neville, Irma Thomas, Ernie K-Doe, and Allen Toussaint. His father also showcased his vocal talents at events like wedding receptions. From a young age, Corey was deeply influenced by Jazz and Jazz standards, often practicing songs by iconic artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, and many other renowned Jazz musicians from that era.
Today, Corey continues to nurture his love for music by singing several times a week on apps like Smule and StarMaker, where he enjoys performing duets with people from around the world. This musical passion brings him immense joy as he meets new people and connects with them through the universal language of music.

Youth Mentoring
Corey has always had a passion for working with and connecting with youth. He finds immense joy in mentoring young people and being a positive influence in their lives. Growing up, he often received compliments on his mindset, perseverance, confidence, and wisdom as an adolescent and young adult. He credits much of his development to the incredible mentors he had in his circle.
Through his observations, Corey recognized a significant lack of great mentors for today's youth. This realization fueled his goal to help fill that void by mentoring young people in various ways. He teaches youth Capoeira classes, tutors them for academic success, and guides them through crucial transitions such as graduation and entering college. Corey has witnessed many of the kids and adolescents he has mentored grow into remarkable individuals with increased confidence, perseverance, wisdom, and a strong drive to achieve their goals.
He firmly believes that making a positive impact on young people early in their lives can lead to their success in various fields as they mature. He is committed to nurturing the next generation, helping them become outstanding individuals who will contribute positively to society's future.
