About

Michelle is a California and NCCAOM Licensed Acupuncturist, Board Certified Clinical Herbalist and Integrative Medicine Practitioner in West Hollywood. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine with a Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and with major in Finance from the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona.

Since she was a little girl, Michelle has always known that her mission in this world was to be a healer.  Michelle fell in love with herbal medicine and nutrition when she discovered they provided relief from her allergies and chronic sinus infections in ways that western medicine and surgery never could. After years of working in banking and finance, Michelle decided to travel the globe for a year and move to Los Angeles to pursue her passion of becoming an acupuncturist and herbalist. She grew up in Chicago and will always be a midwest girl at heart. 

Michelle loves helping her patients heal and transform and tailors each treatment plan to their individual needs to achieve both current and future health goals.  Her acupuncture practice draws on a diverse array of approaches including Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture, Korean Style Balancing Acupuncture, Master Tung Style Acupuncture, Channel Theory Acupuncture and Kiiko Matsumoto Style Acupuncture to create her own unique blend.

Michelle’s true love is Herbal Medicine and she’s had the honor of learning from some the best herbalists in California. She loves to find ways to reinforce the power of each treatment with customized herbal, dietary and supplementation prescriptions that can ensure each patient experiences powerful and lasting results.
