Michelle maintained Chapel Hill Acupuncture for 12 years and took a sabbatical in July & August 2022 to work on courses on auriculotherapy (ear reflexology), and complete writing for an online herbal academy.
She is currently working out of a yoga studio in south Durham until more permanent digs can be located. The studio is equipped with acupuncture supplies, table, heat lamp and many comfort measures such as bolsters, pillows, and music.
