Dr. Michele Renee

Michele Renee, DC, MAc is an integrative holistic physician who combines her extensive training, years of experience, and deep intuition to provide highly individualized care. She prioritizes her relationship with each patient as the foundation to providing a safe space for whole person healing, allowing her to understand what is truly important and where the underlying barriers to wellness may be. 

Her care includes a wide view of the many paths to healing. Consider her your guide to accessing health creation and finding balance in your life. Dr. Renee brings a clarity to healing with the understanding that no two people are alike, and no two approaches to healing should be alike either. This involves listening deeply and being fully present to hear the whole story and find a path forward.

Point of view

With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Renee applies many lenses as a healer. She offers gentle chiropractic adjustments through the experienced hands of a long-time massage therapist and body worker, food as medicine, and the wisdom and insight of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She partners with her patients to find the root cause of the issue, and not just manage symptoms.

In 2020, Dr. Renee developed debilitating Long Covid. This extremely difficult experience has become her “master class” in integrative care, giving her an opportunity to see illness and healing through the eyes of the patient receiving a wide range of care. While it has diminished her physical capacity, it has increased her insight into healing ten fold.

Dr. Renee is eternally curious and loves a good puzzle. For this reason, she really enjoys helping people with a wide range of concerns like pain, vertigo, digestive concerns, insomnia, and anxiety. Ultimately, her goal is to shift the focus from simply addressing problems to creating health.

Training and credentials

A massage therapist since 1998, Dr. Renee graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2008 and Master of Acupuncture in 2016. In 2020, Dr. Renee earned her Certificate in Integrative Healthcare Leadership at Duke University.

Dr. Renee is currently serving as the Director of Integrative Care and Associate Professor at NWHSU. She has also volunteered in both support and leadership capacities for several professional associations, including the Integrative Health Policy Consortium, the Academic Collaborative of Integrative Medicine, and the Society for Oncology Massage. Notably, she served as the president of Alliance for Massage Therapy Educators. She has contributed to magazines, trade journals, and professional texts, and has spoken nationally at highly regarded healthcare conferences.

She happily provides referrals to many other trusted professionals, such as medical doctors, physical therapists, psychotherapists, and other excellent providers, to provide the best health care team possible. The whole is most certainly greater than the sum of its parts! Come on in today for a consultation to learn what your customized care can look like.

Please note: Dr. Renee is not taking new patients as she navigates continuing Long Covid. However, she is happy to sit in on a joint consultation with our team and assist in creating some recommendations for you. Thank you for your understanding.
