Testimonials

Michelle is an amazing teacher and extremely generous with her presence and guidance in deeply listening to the body. I have been in practice for 13 years, but working alongside Michelle using her body feedback method in person, with the direct hands-on experience she provided, has changed my practice tremendously. Since interning with her, my skills in point location, diagnosis, and treatment have become more accurate, as I am able to palpate and pinpoint which organs and meridians by feeling the body shift in real time to create the proper environment for the body to heal. The acupuncture sessions I received were profound and powerful. Her gentle hand, accuracy of diagnoses and treatment created a shift I am still benefiting from today. The experience working with Michelle has not only raised the frequency of my practice and improved my patients’ treatments and more enduring, but I also grew as a person.

Body-Feedback is part of a new paradigm of medical care, and those on the front line of this progress will reap the rewards decades before mainstream medicine adopts these principles. Meramour’s Guide to The Body-Feedback Acupuncture System is an invitation to step beyond the limitations of what is known and into the realm of discovery.

Body-Feedback is a dialogue in which you ask the body why it is suffering from disease and what remedies it needs. Like any new language, you will need to learn the rules and practice to become proficient. Through this conversation, you will begin to clearly “hear” what will promote healing. In your hands, you hold the key to access the wisdom of the body. This is the promise of the Body-Feedback system. May your life and health expand with possibility.

Since age five, I’ve suffered from hay fever and used prescription and over-the-counter allergy medications, eye drops, nasal sprays, and allergy shots for five years, which did not provide any relief or a change in my symptoms. To this day, when the beautiful cherry blossom trees bloom in late April or early May, my allergies go into high gear. And they stay that way until the end of September.

I have a very sensitive system, so I need someone who knows their stuff and someone who can effectively test different treatment options. Three herbs agreed with me, and together, we tested the dosage. From late April to mid-June, I took a small amount of herbs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (and it didn’t taste bad). That was it! Furthermore, I didn’t have to wait until mid-June for my allergy relief to begin; it was almost immediate. My system was on board right away.

As I write this, I have no allergy symptoms (and it’s late July; this is not normal for me!). I’ve never had an allergy-free summer before. Not only is it so liberating to be outside with no symptoms, but I’m also not experiencing any harmful medication side effects. As you can imagine, I’m a most appreciative client! Without Michelle’s expertise, wisdom, and outside-the-box thinking, she wouldn’t have known which herbs to test or which would work.

What Michelle has uncovered through the Body-Feedback approach is magic in the best sense of the word. Magic that has the ability to change your life through direct communication with your body. Michelle has tapped in to the body’s secret language and is able to ‘ask’ each unique body exactly what its specific needs are.

The results I experienced through Michelle’s method were immediate. After 9 years of ‘throwing a dart in the dark’ with both Western and Eastern medicine, Michelle was able to make sense of the cause of my infertility during our first visit. And the results from Body-Feedback didn’t just make for another theory, the proof was in the pudding because by our second meeting, I was pregnant.

When I sat down with Michelle at the first meeting I had already been to two previous acupuncturists and a few fertility experts. The acupuncturists prescribed countless Chinese herbal blends, a variety of vitamins and probiotics, a few different essential oils, and recommended a few diet changes. Whenever I would go back for my regularly scheduled sessions and there was no progress, a new herb or vitamin was suggested. So after a few visits, my days consisted of ingesting one or more Chinese herbal teas two or more times a day, 4 or more vitamins 2 or more times a day, probiotics 2 or more times a day, applying essential oils two or more times a day, and on and on. It was exhausting. And when asked, the practitioner couldn’t provide a definitive of how my treatments were progressing. So eventually, I was worn out and had to cease my treatments. A little while later I tried going to a second acupuncturist at a different practice and it was a similar story. Western medicine was no different. I did all the tests, did several rounds of hormonal therapy and two sessions of IUI with zero results and even less feedback. “Unexplained Fertility” was all I heard.

This can be looked at as good because at least I didn’t have anything ‘wrong’ with me. However, although I was willing to keep plodding on, I was running out of options of therapies to explore and time was no longer on my side.

So when I was recommended to Michelle by my physician, I was hesitant but willing to sit down with her. After all, I had nothing to lose and was familiar with her reputation in the community as a top acupuncturist. I was not aware of the Body-Feedback process but during our first meeting I shared my frustrations with her and without hesitation Michelle assured me that treatment with her would be different than my previous treatments and I would get the immediate feedback and definitive progress report I had been vying for the past nine years.

On and off for years I had been seeing a chiropractor for an issue on my neck/upper back not realizing that issue could be tied to my infertility. However, after Michelle explained the hormone pyramid and how my neck issue directly tied to the base of the pituitary and hypothalamus base of the pyramid, and then when I was able to feel the tightness release while inhaling a certain essential oil blend, I knew she was on to something. My body spoke.
