Let's flip the script together.
Fed up with status quo health and wellness options? Welcome to We Get To Be Well, where we have a different kind of conversation. One that centers pleasure and connection and knows you're the expert on you. It's the approach to health support that'll have you wondering, "How'd you read my mind?"
i've heard you're the type who refuses to settle...

We Get To Be Well helps if you:
work with me
Want more energy and vitality
Have negative health symptoms that aren't getting better
morelia, mexico
You're done playing whack-a-mole with your symptoms
You know that quick fixes rarely work long-term and crave something strategic
You've outgrown Doctor Google and WebMD
You're over diet culture and the fear-mongering that comes with it
You're ready to move beyond thinking of food (and your choices) in terms of good vs. bad
You don't want to wait for the medical status quo to catch up with the already available cutting-edge science
We're probably a good fit if:
You refuse to be in the same place 10 years from now
You want to get back to being a bon vivant
omg - that's me!
So many factors affect health outcomes: habits, environment, genetics, worldview, trauma, stress, relationships, and social identity. I look at the whole you, not just your symptoms, to get at the root causes. You're the driver, I'll help you navigate.
Functional Nutrition Framework
Feminist Lens
Too often, the nutrition industry ignores marginalized individuals. Let's ditch the never-ending "self improvement" project. I don't want to "fix" you. I just want you to get more joy. Your desires need not reflect popular wellness values. (Anti-feminist? Exit left.)

Historical & Cultural Context
Context matters. Our individual and collective stories are as important as our symptoms. By understanding how we got here, we'll make informed choices about where you want to go. Let's keep the cultural traditions that feed you and lose the ones that don't.

Michelle-Marie is knowledgable, resourceful, and compassionate. I appreciate that she looked at me as a whole-being and does not just focus on food.
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.
"She looked at me as a whole 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!
