We believe that every person has the innate capacity to heal from physical, mental, spiritual and emotional illness or dysfunction. Similar to how rivers flow through the terrain of the landscape, subtle energy called 'Qi' (pronounced "chi") flows through our bodies. Chinese Herbal Medicine is a sophisticated and effective form of therapy that has been used for thousands of years.
Chinese herbal formulas work not simply through chemical interactions, but also through subtle resonance with the person taking them. Cupping is a traditional practice in many different cultures. Like cupping, Gua Sha increases the flow of blood and Qi to tight areas of the body and effectively breaks up adhesions and knots within the muscles.

Similar to how rivers flow through the terrain of the landscape, subtle energy called 'Qi' (pronounced "chi") flows through our bodies. In our bodies, these "rivers" are called meridians that connect and integrate all aspects of ourselves, from the physical to the mental and spiritual.
Through the insertion of very thin, stainless steel needles into points along the meridians, acupuncture treats imbalances in energy flow that are caused by factors such as stress, physical trauma, a poor diet, emotional difficulties, and toxins in the environment.Acupuncture can quickly and safely address specific symptoms or be used to reduce stress, boost immunity, improve mood, and enhance one's overall sense of well being.

Chinese Herbal Medicine is a sophisticated and effective form of therapy that has been used for thousands of years.

Cupping: Cupping is a traditional practice in many different cultures. In a cupping session, your practitioner suctions plastic or glass cups onto the body to help increase the flow of blood and Qi to an area and release tension and adhesions along tight muscle bands. Cupping also pulls stagnation and toxins out of the superficial layers of the body through the skin and can be an effective treatment for the common cold.

I started going to Liana at a time of agonizing pain and suffering and her treatment went a long way towards helping me feel better. She took a very thoughtful and detailed approach to understanding my pain and the problems I have.
Liana has the perfect temperament for a health and wellness professional. She is kind, sincere and empathetic. You fee like no one can do a better job than she does when you walk into her office. She is very meticulous in creating a warm, friendly and healing atmosphere which makes it unsurprising her services are so constantly in demand. Every single review here is

I have been seeing Crystal for 4 months and all I can say is the treatment has been life-changing. For nearly a year I suffered from vertigo, headaches, fatigue and a general feeling of "heaviness" (as if I was weighted down though my spine). Her treatment has been incredible. I can't express how many doctors I saw who were zero help. My husband has also gone to Crystal for nervous system issues - she has helped him as well. I can't recommend her enough!

Liana is fantastic. She has helped me so much. Her acupuncture is top notch but what has impressed me the most are her counseling skills! She's a great listener and gives gentle and caring feedback every time we talk. I have a chronic condition and had to stop my medicine when I was pregnant and she helped me with that transition and comforted me postpartum. I can't recommend her enough, if there were a way to give 10 stars I would.

I started going to Eventide Wellness in January because I have endometriosis. I had a surgery for it the previous February (my second) and my symptoms had all returned. By the time I went to Liana, I had stomach pain/cramping at least three out of four weeks a month and my quality of life was seriously impacted. It is hard to explain the symptoms to someone who doesn't have it but that much pain (and other symptoms which I won't go into here) can really affect your day to day life. It is now July and I feel better than I have in ten years or more. Liana cautioned that it might take

Liana is a baby maker and so much more!
My husband recommended Liana for our infertility issues - she's changed both of our lives. We were able to conceive naturally within ~4 months of seeing her, after a year of IUI treatments, all of which failed. She was incredibly supportive during a very tough time and helped heal my broken heart and spirit as I dealt with years of infertility.
She's very knowledgeable about acupuncture and traditional chines medicine and works with me to address my specific symptoms during our sessions. Did I mention I have a big fear of needles (no matter

Even Tide Wellness and Liana Brooks-Rubin have been such an incredible blessing in my life. Liana goes above and beyond in making you feel comfortable and heard in your search for healing and wellness. I was very new to acupuncture and Liana helped me to discover the power of acupuncture in helping your body tap into its own natural healing abilities, instead of just reaching for a pill.
I have seen in so many ways the deep caring and concern that Liana has for her patients. She truly cares about helping to find holistic approaches to bringing health and balance back into your life. I highly

I have suffered from migraines since I was a child. Several years ago my migraines increased in number and duration. Since beginning acupuncture with Liana my migraines have gone from about 12-15 a month to 1 or 2! It took a couple of months to kick in, but over the last two years the acupuncture has drastically changed my quality of life!
Liana takes the time to understand your issues and treat them. She has a warm and inviting presence and is truly thoughtful in her treatment. Additionally, Liana takes insurance which makes receiving treatment affordable and easy!

A friend of mine recommended Liana when I mentioned I was thinking about going to acupuncture for an increase in stress and anxiety in the winter. Originally I was just going to see her until a big project ended, but I see such benefits from my sessions with her and really appreciate her kindness and care.
Liana is someone who truly listens, and can pick up on things that you may not realized yourself. She cares about you as a person mind, body, spirit, and her care is really first rate. Seeing her for acupuncture has only been part of it, she has given me such great encouragement, reassurance

Liana is a one-of-a kind practitioner. I've been seeing her for almost 2 years now, and finding her has been a life-changer. My health declined 2.5 years ago after taking a potent antibiotic that caused adverse reactions. I developed muscle and joint pain, along with a slew of other health issues, in which conventional doctors provided no solutions or relief. Helpless and hopeless, I searched for alternative practitioners online, and found Liana. And she took my insurance, which was a bonus! I had no expectations, as I was new to acupuncture, but I knew from my first visit that Liana
