Michelle has been practicing acupuncture in the South Eastern suburbs since 2005. She completed a 4 year degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Victoria University, with a clinical internship at Zhejiang Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Hospital in Hang Zhou, China.  It was in Hang Zhou that Michelle discovered a passion for tai chi and was a student and instructor at the highly respected Golden Lion Academy for 11 and 5 years respectively.  In 2014, Michelle competed in the first World Tai Chi Games in Cheng Du, China, and came third in her event.  Since then Michelle has also completed her yoga teacher training and assists her clients with meditation techniques.

Since graduating, Michelle has worked in her own private practice as well working alongside chiropractors and an osteopath at Melbourne Sports Clinic, gaining valuable experience in treating many musculoskeletal conditions with both Western and Eastern treatment strategies. Her knowledge and experience in treating fertility and paediatric issues deepened while working at Three Lanterns in Williamstown, often seeing clients for pregnancy preparation through to assisting labour induction and then treating the babies and children.  For 10 years following graduation, Michelle provided weekly group acupuncture to clients suffering from severe stress and anxiety at TaskForce, a community drug and alcohol support centre.

Michelle has recently gained certification in Anti-Ageing medicine which has provided skills and knowledge in understanding testing methods and lifestyle modifications from a western scientific model.  Currently she is undertaking a deep-dive into Classical acupuncture, which has specific strategies in working with musculoskeletal conditions, emotional and mental health, constitutional health issues, and inner spiritual conflicts.
