Our Team
Rachel Brumberger, MOM, MAc, LAc; Founder & Lead Clinician
Rachel excels at validating her patients' experiences and addressing the root causes of their issues, helping them reconnect with themselves, understand their bodies, and change their biology. In her treatment room, patients untangle illness, manage symptoms, and often eliminate them.
Describing the healing process as “coming home to yourself,” Rachel aims to create meaningful experiences that transform lives and help patients achieve their health goals. She deeply understands the personal nature of illness and the disconnection from well-being, guiding people to repair their relationships with their bodies and minds.
Rachel founded Marigold Center to revolutionize patient care and reshape expectations of modern healthcare.
