Her approach is rooted in functional medicine — looking at the body as a whole, identifying root causes, and using food as a powerful tool for healing and sustainable change.

  • Specialised support for women’s health, kids, teens, and chronic conditions
  • DNA testing and body composition tracking (optional)

As a wife and mother, Michelle lives what she teaches — modelling a whole-food, flexible lifestyle at home and in her work. She's passionate about raising her daughter with a positive relationship with food and helping others find confidence and calm in how they eat and live.
