About Brooke Mickelsen
A grounded, compassionate approach to whole-body healing.
Have you ever felt like your body stopped feeling safe, familiar, or predictable? Have you searched for answers while feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn next? If so, this story is for you. The name Brooke Mickelsen Health exists because of this journey.
Brooke Mickelsen Health was created from lived experience, deep personal healing, and a desire to support others when their bodies feel overwhelmed and out of balance.
In 2021, my health changed suddenly and profoundly. Within days of receiving a COVID 19 vaccine, I began experiencing a cascade of symptoms that affected nearly every system in my body. I developed heart rhythm irregularities, extreme fatigue, neurological symptoms, and intense burning sensations throughout my face, hands, and feet. I also experienced severe swallowing difficulties, persistent tinnitus, skin rashes, acne, and widespread inflammation that made daily life incredibly difficult.
As my physical symptoms progressed, so did the emotional toll. I experienced panic attacks, intense nervous system dysregulation, emotional instability, and periods of suicidal ideation that left me feeling disconnected from my body and fearful of my own thoughts. I often felt trapped inside a body that no longer felt safe or predictable. At my lowest point, I was largely bedridden for close to a year and required outside help to care for my children. I felt overwhelmed, discouraged, and unsure if my body or mind would ever feel whole again.
I pursued every conventional route available to me, including specialists, medications, procedures, and recommended interventions, yet my condition continued to decline. Eventually, I reached a point where traditional options had been exhausted, and I knew I needed to look beyond the model I had relied on.
That search led me to Footzoning.
The Experience That Changed Everything
Through working with Amber Bodily, a well known Footzoning practitioner and the developer of the Integrative Foot Zone Course, I was introduced to a deeper understanding of how the body can do what it needs to do when it has what it needs. She became the answer to my prayers during a very dark season and helped lead me out of that darkness. Through her mentorship, I learned to trust the body’s innate wisdom and its capacity to respond when properly supported.
Through Integrative Footzoning, I was introduced to a holistic way of supporting the body that emphasized nervous system regulation, lifestyle adjustments, nourishment, gentle detoxification, and honoring the body’s innate ability to move toward balance. For the first time, my experience was viewed through a whole body lens rather than isolated symptoms.
Within three months, I no longer needed hired help to care for my children. Over time, I was able to step away from medications and felt a genuine healing journey begin. After 18 months of consistent lifestyle changes and Footzoning support, my symptoms continued to fade, and my quality of life steadily returned.
Inspired by my own healing, I completed the Integrative Foot Zone Course (IFZC) and Advanced Practitioner training under Amber Bodily. I am currently working toward certification as a Nutritional Herbalist and have begun a Master’s program in Integrative Health to further deepen my understanding of the body as an interconnected system.
Because of my extensive health challenges, I bring lived experience to my work.
I have personally walked through protocols that supported my body as symptoms eased one by one. These experiences allow me to thoughtfully share what helped me along my own healing journey with those who may be feeling similarly, always honoring the body’s pace and individuality through Integrative Footzoning.
I believe healing is not one size fits all and that the body often needs gentle, consistent support to restore balance.
Through education, certification, and lived experience, my goal is to offer thoughtful, individualized Footzoning sessions that honor each client’s unique story.
If you are feeling downtrodden, distraught, hopeless, or struggling with thoughts that feel dark or overwhelming, I want you to know that I have been there. I understand how isolating it can feel to suffer silently, and how powerful it is to be met with compassion, patience, and support.
Brooke Mickelsen Health represents the path I walked when I had no roadmap and the work I now feel called to share with others.
If you are ready to feel supported, seen, and gently guided rather than rushed or dismissed, I would be honored to work with you.
