Hey there!

Feast on your life.

You've been told deprivation equals health. Just cut out gluten, abstain from happy hour, or swap your morning latte for celery juice and - poof -your nasty symptoms will go away.

They haven't. What now?

Yes, what you eat matters. But bonding over that perfect pan au chocolat matters to your health, too. A wellness plan that ignores the roles of our relationships, our cultural rituals, and our embodied joy isn't just unsustainable. It's a nonstarter. (The science backs this up)

At We Get To Be Well, pleasure & connection are central to the health discussion

you deserve an approach to health that delights you.

I'm Michelle-Marie, your new call-it-like-I-see-it friend.

I'm a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, women's health advocate, and mom. After years of hacking my way through the chronic pain jungle, I was fed up with the deplorable state of women's healthcare. I founded We Get To Be Well to offer women a framework for lasting wellness.

    In our brief time working together, I learned a lot! I know my body is sensitive to food choices and I feel hopeful about making changes to improve my overall well-being.

    At age 57 I was experiencing steadily increasing knee pain along with decreasing flexibility. I could not crouch to load the washing machine and instead had to grab the machine and lower myself to my knees, then claw my way back up after. It felt like the beginning of the end of my mobility...

    After a thorough evaluation, We Get To Be Well outlined a combination of orthotics, supplements, and detailed nutrition advice.

    Just 6 months later I’m 90% improved in both strength and flexibility, with numerous unexpected benefits from my improved diet.

    I’m beyond thrilled!
