Michelle’s beliefs in natural medicine stem from childhood, when she and her mother gathered wild foods and herbs in the local forest preserve. They collected slippery elm for cough, dandelion leaves for detoxification, willow for headaches, and St. John’s wort for depression. This path led her to the natural healing system of Traditional Chinese medicine which views the body as a whole being, inherently part of nature, ebbing and flowing with the sun cycles, moon cycles, seasons and weather.

Michelle graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine with a Masters in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelors in Nutrition. She is board certified in acupuncture through the NCCAOM.

Each treatment is a personalized fusion of acupuncture, herbal remedies, Chinese dietary therapy and lifestyle counseling. Michelle adds the powerful element of touch to her sessions by doing energy work over the needles. She teaches people how to use food as medicine to prevent and treat dis-ease. Cupping and Tui Na massage are added to address both chronic and acute pain.

Michelle treats a wide array of health imbalances including digestive problems, anxiety, depression, allergies, menopause and insomnia. She helps women conceive both naturally and in conjunction with reproductive technology.

Michelle says, "My goal is to empower the patient to play an active role in his or her wellness. I can give you the tools to become well, but only you can heal yourself.”
