Michelle is knowledgeable and supportive and has such a warm presence!

Michelle helped me with a long term low back issue connected to muscles in my pelvic floor... read more

Michelle was so helpful in learning about my pelvic floor and prepping for delivery. She was welcoming and warm and always made sure I was comfortable with the plans and exams. I’ve learned so much, thank you!
