The Wellness Journey with Michelle
About Michelle
The Health Investigator Who Learned the Hard Way
Doctors said my labs were fine. Friends thought I was being dramatic. I started to wonder if I was making it all up.
Spoiler: I wasn't. Something had been overlooked.
And once someone finally asked about my environment, everything changed.

My Story (and maybe yours too)
In March of 2021, my health hit a wall. Out of nowhere, I was dealing with IBS that made eating stressful, allergies that came out of nowhere, eczema flare-ups that wouldn't quit, and weight that just wouldn't budge - no matter how "clean" I ate or how hard I tried.
Sound familiar?
I went from doctor to doctor - holistic, conventional, nutritional - and while each one had something to offer, nothing truly worked.
I was tired of chasing symptoms, tired of the guesswork, and honestly? Tired of feeling broken.
Then - Somone Finally Asked About My Environment
In July 2023, while working with a health coach on cellular detox, she suggested mold might be at play.
I dismissed her immediately. We'd had a small leak years ago that was fixed and remediated. Why would mold be the problem now?
But something made me try a self-test anyway. The results rattled me. Then I had my air ducts professionally cleaned, thinking it would help. Instead, dust exploded everywhere, triggering one of my worst flare-ups ever.
That's when I knew - something in my sanctuary wasn't safe.
Professional inspectors found mold in places that looked perfectly clean: behind my shower tiles, inside walls from old leaks, in my garage workspace, even above my bedroom. The two places I trusted most 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 addressed BOTH the environment AND the damage it had done to my body, everything started to shift."
What Changed For Me
Energy Returned
No more 3pm crashes or needing coffee to feel human
Digestion Calmed
I could eat without anxiety or unpredictable symptoms
Skin Cleared
Eczema flare-ups became a thing of the past
Weight Balanced
My body found its natural, healthy weight effortlessly
Confidence Restored
I felt at home in my body for the first time in years
Life Opened Up
Traveling, showing cutting horses, enjoying hockey games with friends
For the first time, I wasn't just treating symptoms - I was finally getting to the root of what was really going on.
Through consistent support, gentle cellular detox, functional nutrition, and creating a non-toxic environment at home, I started to feel like myself again.
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.
How I Help You Do The Same
As a Health Investigator, I bring both personal experience and professional training to guide your journey:
- Nutrition Therapy Master Certification through the Nutritional Therapy Institute (NTI)
- Certified in Pompa Core Cellular Detox protocols and Diet and Fasting
- Specializing in gentle detox and non-toxic environmental living
- Focused on root-cause investigation, not symptom chasing
- Committed to personalized strategies that fit your real life
I work with people who are tired of being told "your labs look fine" when they definitely don't feel fine.
Together, we investigate what's keeping your body stuck - and create a personalized plan to lighten the load.
My Framework
INVESTIGATE → RELEASE → NOURISH → ALIGN → THRIVE
We start by investigating the whole picture—your symptoms, your environment, your patterns—to uncover what's actually driving your health challenges.
Then we release the burden. Gently. The toxins, inflammation, and foods that aren't serving you.
From there, we nourish your body with personalized nutrition strategies that actually fit your life, align your daily habits with your goals, and build momentum toward thriving—not just surviving.
Your body's not broken. Your bucket's just too full. Let's lighten the load.
My Approach
You don't need more prescriptions or guesswork. You don't need another extreme protocol that doesn't fit your real life.
What you need is someone to investigate the whole picture and help you figure out what's been overlooked.
I look at food patterns, blood sugar, gut health, AND potential environmental factors like mold, water quality, and toxic burden—the stuff most practitioners never think to investigate.
I ask more questions than I give answers. I believe your body is wise and has been trying to tell you something important. And I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, with grace and without judgment.
It's your body. I help you follow the clues.
My Promise To You
Investigation first. Transformation next.
We'll figure out what's actually filling your bucket—food patterns, environmental factors, toxic burden—then create a personalized plan to lighten the load.
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.
Real change takes time. Usually 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.
No crash cleanses. No shame. No overwhelming protocols. Just gentle, sustainable changes that help your body do what it's designed to do: thrive.
Beyond Coaching
When I'm not coaching, you'll find me ...
- Traveling to new places
- Showing my cutting horses
- Enjoying hockey games with friends
...things I couldn't fully enjoy when my health was struggling.
That vibrant, joyful life? It's waiting for you too.
