Acupuncture is an ancient healing method that has been practiced in China for thousands of years. It is rooted in the concept of Qi (pro-nounced "chee"). Qi is the life force, the vital energy that is necessary and present in all living things. When Qi is abundant and flowing smoothly, the body is in a state of health.

Sickness, disease and pain arise if the flow becomes blocked, depleted, or flows in the wrong direction. Acupuncture uses very fine needles to access and manipulate this flow, thus bringing the body back into a state of balance and health. We often prescribe Chinese herbs in conjunction with acupuncture or as a stand alone treatment.

Michelle is professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. She is one of only two licensed acupuncturists in Ames, and she is fantastic at what she does. She has treated me for many health issues and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for acupuncture or herbal medicine.

1) Actually deliver results. Ex: When an herb formulation is not working, the solution is not the client needs to spend more of their money. Michelle needs to do a better job with it in the first place. 2) Leave wrong health tips out of things. Ex: Trying to tell me fruit is bad is a joke.

I will not recommend Michelle to anyone. I went to her for 6 weeks doing treatments and taking her herbs trying to help a particular condition. Things were not improving and i should have been able to notice something in that time. Her suggestion? Give her more money, see her more often to more formulate the herbs. What a joke. Plus in that time she tried giving other lifestyle advice such as not to eat fruit because of sugar. WOW, nor do you know health. Processed sugar and fruit sugar are NOT the same thing. I did not give her any more of my money.

I've been seeing Michelle for a while for back, knee and stress related issues. She's helped me with some herbal supplements as well. She's excellent at what she does and I highly recommend her!

I’ve been doing nails over 25 years and my hands and shoulders get numb, weak and tired. I’ve been going here for a while now and I’ve been feeling better. I recommend this place for people that feel the same way.

Michelle has helped me so much!! Her knowledge and expertise, along with her truly caring about her clients, is amazing! From my first visit, just a few months ago, Acupuncture has relieved me of so much of the fibromyalgia pàin that I have struggled with for more than 15 years-and my rheumatoid arthritis has had the same benefits! If I had not had this experience myself, I would not have believed acupuncture could be so powerful! Acupuncture and Michelle make a powerful combination!
