Brooks Wuerdemann, DCEM has dedicated his life to a diverse range of disciplines, blending holistic health, technology, linguistics, and spiritual growth. Dr. Brooks’ background includes a diverse range of disciplines that give him a unique perspective on healing and holistic health.

He has been a student of QiGong since 1992; this has informed his understanding of how the power of transformation creates change in all aspects of life. 

His early professional career included serving as a linguist in the U.S. Army which honed his analytical and communication skills. Working as a computer systems engineer further developed a strong foundation in problem-solving and systems thinking.

Brooks decided to study Chinese Medicine in-depth when his own experience of receiving acupuncture treatment improved both his physical symptoms and his mental-emotional outlook on life.

While continuing to serve as a reserve officer in the U.S. Army, Dr. Brooks completed:

• Master of Acupuncture from Tai Sophia Institute, 2012
• Medical QiGong Practitioner Certificate from Dr. Lisa VanOstrand, 2012
• Master of Oriental Medicine from Maryland University of Integrative Health, 2015
• Chinese Dietary Studies with Andrew Sterman, 2020 to 2021
• Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine from The Temple of Change and Transformation, 2024

From 2013 to 2017, Dr. Brooks contributed to academia as an Adjunct Faculty member at Maryland University of Integrative Health teaching in the Acupuncture and Nutrition Programs. Currently, Brooks teaches ongoing courses through Elements of Life Institute.

Dr. Brooks’ spiritual path is integral to his work. In 2021, he was ordained as a Priest of Christian Mystical Arts through The Temple of Change and Transformation, blending his spiritual insights with his healing practices.

Dr. Brooks approaches each patient as a complex individual with physical, emotional, and spiritual needs—all of which are influencing each other and creating a whole system that can be supported through treatment and education.

I’m a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine, having completed an intensive four-year program. My journey into healing is ongoing—I’m currently continuing my studies as a Doctor of Medical Qigong to deepen my understanding, practice, and to be of greater service. I also serve as an Assistant Instructor at the Elements of Life Institute, where I help guide others in their own healing and energetic development.

Before stepping into this path, I spent 12 years in the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic and Senior Enlisted Soldier, working in an emergency room in active combat zone, training and mentoring soldiers for medical missions worldwide, and ultimately overseeing large-scale medical readiness operations for over 8,000 troops before being medically retired.

Beyond medicine, my exploration of spiritual and energetic mysticism has profoundly shaped my approach to healing. I’ve studied  Daoist Mysticism for four years, Buddhist Mysticism for three years, and Christian Mysticism for a year and a half. I’ve also dedicated two years to studying Tai Chi in Sifu Singh’s new Life Force Tai Chi Program, and am a Certified Level 1 coach,  integrating its principles of movement, breath, and energy cultivation into my work.

By blending physical, energetic, and spiritual wisdom, I help people reconnect with their natural ability to self-heal and self-regulate, offering a holistic path to deep healing and balance in today’s fast-paced world.
