My middle name should be Prevention. At the start of my career all I wanted was “to help people”. Nursing felt like it would be a great fit for me to achieve this goal. After 15 years of trying to break the mold; I realized I needed to move upstream and assist patients to help avoid the ailments and dis-ease that seem to affect a large portion of the population. Moving to Alberta in 2002 allowed me to refocus my efforts. In 2016 I completed my CNPA (Certified Natural Products Advisor) a program provided through the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and administered by Canadian Health Food Association. I now know that I will always be learning and that is my first love. In addition; in my practice I utilize A-K/Applied Kinesiology or muscle testing to assist my patients in finding the best remedy for their wellness goals and maintaining their health for a productively long time.

Applied Kinesiology

Muscle testing for supplement compatibility. Listen to what your body is telling you! Michelle will give you insight on your current vitamins and supplements and advise you which ones your body responds to best. This modality takes the guess work out of choosing your high quality vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omegas etc.. Not everything that is good is good for everyone.

Be Well - Naturally!

I bring nearly a decade of experience in the Natural Health and Wellness field. Helping others feel healthier and reaching their nutrition goals is what fuels my soul!

My Approach: - Recommending achievable changes using an individualized approach. - As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner my focus is based on the belief that every person’s health is bio-individual, one size does NOT fit all. - My focus is the power of foundations. The foundations are: digestion, blood sugar managing, hydration, and a properly prepared , nutrient-dense, and whole foods diet, that’s science-based. - With compassion and curiosity, we will work together on clarifying your health goals and working towards that. I believe in being your companion in this journey not your guru. - I also offer Live Blood Analysis as another tool for helping you achieve your health goals. This is a great way to see where you are at with your health goals. Blood transports essential substances (oxygen, nutrients, hormones) cells of the body for use in daily life. Abnormalities in the blood can be detected before the body shows signs of disease. With nutrition, lifestyle changes and supplementation you can bring your body back into balance and start to feel better.

As a Phytotherapist (Medical Herbalist) my primary focus is on treating the individual person as opposed to the ailment or disease. I believe that every person has individual needs and aspects to what health looks like for themselves and should have individualized care and support that is adaptable to how you feel and what you encounter in your life. We all go through periods of time where burning the candle at both ends is not avoidable – these, as well as periods of transition, are the times where it is imperative to provide yourself and your body with support.

The art of a Phytotherapist (Herbalist) to create healing is through keen observation and assessment of the individual and knowing the specific herbs needed for that person, putting them in the correct formula together using the correct dosage and ratios.

In practice, I consult one-on-one with people on a variety of issues they may be experiencing such as menopause, thyroid issues, anxiety, depression, insomnia, cardiac and blood pressure issues, digestive issues, trauma and emotional issues, mood swings, PMS, SAD, Fibromyalgia, nerve issues, reproductive issues, digestive concerns and the list goes on. In seeking to treat with Plant medicine I focus on discovering what the person’s base constitution is, what the nature of their symptoms is, the story of the person and what brought them to the point they are at – as well I assess all mechanistic and organ systems of the body. Tools for assessment used are tongue and pulse diagnosis to give clues as to which organ systems may be in disharmony. With everything taken into consideration I then devise a treatment plan and create a plant medicine formula to address goals and desires for health.
