I've been receiving treatments with Michelle for several years and what a true blessing she is!
Her techniques and uplifting positive vibes have helped me tremendously with my arthritis and other issues.
I'm convinced, that without Michelle's help I wouldn't have been able to enjoy all the wonderful experiences with my Grandson!

So glad that I made the decision to see Michelle! After struggling with autoimmune issues for upwards of 10 years, I was just about at the end of my rope. I can’t describe how wonderful it feels to receive treatment from someone who is able to validate my experience and to pinpoint any underlying issues. Previously, I had tried nearly everything, so I was beginning to believe that I was either crazy or cursed… not exactly the best mindset for healing. The acupuncture treatment itself is awesome (so relaxing!), but Michelle also provided me with dietary/lifestyle suggestions, which have contributed

If I could give more stars, I would! This practice is incredible. You will get people who thoroughly listen to you, provide holistic suggestions and tips, and deliver great care. Always transparent about costs, flexible on scheduling, and informative with accupuncture solutions. They have been instrumental in treating my back and neck pain. I absolutely love the cupping service that Michelle offers - it is a real game changer. I would (and already have) recommended Wind in the Willows to so many people in my life. This is the definition of careful, curated care provided by great human beings.

Best decision I ever made was brining my son to Robert to manage food intolerances that disturbed his sleep, gave him bad headaches and made him very sick.There were days when he was so violently sick he would throw up until his throat was raw. I noticed a difference after only a few treatments and now he sleeps through the the night, no longer gets headaches and hasn’t been sick since we started treatments. The color has returned to his face and he is a much happier kid. I could not be happier about the results. I highly recommend Robert and Wind in the Willows!

Michelle is a knowledgeable, patient and calming presence. She has changed my life in more ways than I ever anticipated when coming in for care. I have been struggling with GI issues for over a year and spent so much of my time, my money and my peace going from GI doctor to doctor who wouldn’t truly listen, would try one thing and give up on me. Michelle heard my story, immediately knew how to help and was the first person in over a year who listened to me and helped my understand the WHY is this happening and HOW can I fix it? I’m on my journey to healing right now and she is right there with

I had a very hard getting pregnant with my second child.... After conceiving my first so easily, I was at a complete loss .... I spent years trying to conceive and nothing was working, so I decided to see Michelle. What an awesome decision that was .... About 3 months into seeing her, I was pregnant and delivered a beautiful and heathy dream baby, 9 months after that! I couldn’t have been more thrilled (and appreciative). I will definitely be going back when it is time to try to conceive again.

I have been having shoulder pain for a year and a half. I have tried massage therapy, myofascial release, kinesio taping and good old fashion exercises with little relief. After my first visit with Michelle I felt a noticeable improvement. She took the time for an in-depth evaluation looking at all the aspects of my health and started a treatment plan for my pain. I have just had my 4th visit and for the first time in a year and a half am almost pain free. I highly recommend Michelle as an excellent acupuncturist.

Michelle makes the world a better place....she has an aura about her that calms me as soon as I walk into her place. It is welcoming and warming and wakes up your senses. Michelle’s expertise in dealing with your issues is key to the experience. I always float out of her sessions feeling so alive and well. I call Michelle Mother Earth because that’s what she is called to be. Well worth the time to get acupuncture from her!
