Bio

Brooke A. Brown, Ph.D., mother, writer, retired clinical psychologist, and longtime vipassana meditator, lives on Maui. She was raised in Hawaiʻi, attended Punahou School, graduated from San Jose State University and in midlife obtained her doctorate from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Menlo Park. After practicing for many years as a clinical psychologist in San Francisco and Marin, Brown returned home to Maui.

Soon thereafter, her daughter was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer, a life-changing event for her, her family, and friends. After Emalia’s passing in 2014, Brown founded Nā Keiki O Emalia, a Maui nonprofit dedicated to serving grieving children and teens, and served for five years as executive director before diving into the study of evidential mediumship and the afterlife.

Dr. Brown is happy to be a guest at virtual meetings or on podcasts.
