— ABOUT
She came to this work the long way around.
"I grew up moving between worlds before I had words for it. That started early, and it never stopped. The same instinct that helped me navigate impossible situations as a child is what makes me good at sitting with a patient who's been dismissed by every other provider — and at making complex ideas legible, beautiful, and real."
Dr. Michele Renee is a chiropractor, acupuncturist, educator, entrepreneur, and artist with 25 years of building integrative care from the inside. She held the role of Associate Professor and founding Director of Integrative Care at Northwestern Health Sciences University for 18 years. She is co-founder and clinician at Stockheart Whole Health in Minneapolis, and the founder of Body Luminary. She is currently writing her first book.
