Personal Note About Michelle:

Hi! Here’s a little about me. I likely experienced 9 concussions before my 13th birthday (back then, you didn’t get checked out unless it was REALLY bad) and several more since then. Anxiety was my normal way of functioning from early childhood until last year. I have experienced Post Traumatic Symptoms after trauma. I had gained weight that I could not lose, even with diet and a LOT of exercise. I would go through cycles of insomnia. 

I have been where you are. I have sought out different treatments and different therapists. I experienced worse symptoms, short lived relief, band-aid approaches, being bruised, having people try to massage out my bones…. Many came close but nothing fully relieved tension, had lasting results, improved my relationships, or reduced anxiety.

Personal Experience & Interests:
