The Wellness Journey with Michelle
I help people to investigate why they're exhausted, bloated, and brain-fogged—even when they're doing everything "right."
Your symptoms are clues. Something's been overlooked—let's find it.
HEALTH INVESTIGATOR
Investigate. Release. Thrive. Lightening the load, one clue at a time.
Spoiler: Your symptoms aren't random. They're clues pointing to what's been overlooked.
Hi, I'm Michelle
Hi, I'm Michelle
I'm a Health Investigator—which is a fancy way of saying I'm a Functional Nutrition & Environmental Health Coach who helps people stop guessing about their health and start actually figuring out what's going on.
I work with people who:
- Have followed everything their doctors recommended - and still don't feel better
- Are eating "all the right things" but still feel terrible
- Suspect there's something they're missing (spoiler: there usually is)
- Are tired of being told "it's just stress" or "have you tried yoga?"
If that's you, you're in the right place.
Here's My Story
THE SHORT VERSION
For years, I dealt with unpredictable digestion, angry skin that peeled in raw patches, crushing fatigue, and doctors who kept saying "well, your labs look fine" or "here's a prescription."
I tried everything. Elimination diets. Supplements. Years of allergy shots. Every protocol the internet had to offer.
Nothing stuck.
Until someone finally asked about my environment.
Turns out, my home was slowly poisoning me.
Mold was growing in places I couldn't see - behind my shower tiles, inside walls from old leaks, even in my "perfect" new house. The two places I spent the most time (my bedroom and garage workspace) had been quietly contaminating me for years.
Every healthy meal I ate, every supplement I took, every protocol I followed - it didn't matter. My environment was undermining everything.
Once I finally addressed BOTH the environment AND the damage it had done to my body, everything started to shift. Not overnight. Not magically. But steadily, for the first time in years.
That's why I do this work now. Because most practitioners only look at food. And I learned the hard way that's only part of the story.
Spoiler: "Just stress" is code for "I don't know what's wrong."
What Makes Me Different
I look at the WHOLE picture
Most doctors are great at what they do but they're trained to look at labs, diagnose conditions, prescribe medications. They're not typically trained to investigate environmental factors or dig into what you're eating, drinking, or breathing every day.
That's where I come in.
Food, yes. Blood sugar patterns, gut function, all of that. But also the stuff most people never think to investigate:
Is there mold growing somewhere you can't see?
What's in your water?
Could that "small" leak from last year still be causing problems?
Are your cleaning products slowly poisoning you?
Your body doesn't exist in a vacuum. You're constantly interacting with your environment - the air you breathe, the water you drink, what's on your skin, what's behind your walls.
Sometimes the missing piece isn't what you're eating. It's what you're living in.
Spoiler: Clean eating won't fix a moldy house.
How We Work Together
INVESTIGATE → RELEASE → NOURISH → ALIGN → THRIVE
Your body has a capacity for stress—physical, chemical, emotional. When that bucket overflows, symptoms show up.
We start by investigating what's actually filling your bucket. Not just food—also mold, water quality, cookware, household toxins, and stress patterns most people never consider.
Then we release the burden. Gently. Without overwhelm.
From there, we nourish your body with personalized nutrition that fits your real life, align your daily habits with your goals, and build momentum toward actually thriving—not just surviving.
Building momentum, not chasing perfect.
What I Actually Do
I help people investigate root causes - not just throw supplements at symptoms.
We look at food patterns, blood sugar, gut health, AND potential environmental factors like mold, water quality, and toxic burden. Then we create a personalized plan that actually fits your real life. I use a Good→Better→Best framework for recommendations—because perfect doesn't exist, and progress is what counts. Some days Good is the bravest step.
Investigation first. Transformation next.
This ISN'T about:
- Cutting out entire food groups forever
- Taking 47 supplements
- Juice cleanses or detox teas
- Quick fixes or miracle cures
This IS about:
- Figuring out what's actually driving your symptoms
- Reducing the burden on your body (food, toxins, environment)
- Building sustainable practices that last • Having someone in your corner who gets it
Spoiler: When your bucket overflows, symptoms show up. Let's lighten the load.
Real Healing Takes Time
Most people see meaningful shifts within weeks, but real change takes 6-12 months—sometimes longer if environmental factors are involved.
I won't promise quick fixes. But I will help you finally figure out what's actually going on.
We're lightening the load, one clue at a time.

Real Talk for A Second
I'm not going to promise you quick results or tell you I've worked with hundreds of clients. I'm relatively new to having my own practice.
But I'm trained (Certified Nutrition Therapy Master, Dr. Pompa Diet & Fasting Certified), I've been where you are, and I know what it's like to feel dismissed by everyone who's supposed to help you.
I work with a limited number of clients at a time so everyone gets actual attention. Not a cookie-cutter protocol. Not a "here's your meal plan, good luck" situation.
If you're tired of doing this alone - if you want someone who actually looks at the whole picture and helps you figure out what's been overlooked.
