I turned to Michael instead of other acupuncturists in our area because, among many reasons, I respect his longtime study of these ancient arts of acupuncture & massage as a teacher as well as a practitioner. I also respect his devotion to Qi Gong which, I believe, speaks volumes about his character, as well as his love of making music. As the sixth acupuncturist I’ve experienced thus far in my life, what sets Michael apart in my opinion is his monk-like presence, composure, mindfulness, and precision as a provider. Two years into his care, Michael has helped me stabilize adrenal crash, digestive challenges, recurring pain, and severe menopausal symptoms. Not far into our working relationship, I endured personal tragedy and Michael, to his credit, was one of the few who knew how to simply, reliably hold space for me through it, practiced as he already seemed at emptying, witnessing, and stillness. He’s ushered my system safely through two crises, and I remain grateful to him. I affectionately recommend his care.

Michael has a sensitivity and groundedness that creates a very safe environment for healing. His own devotion to meditation and Qi Gong is apparent in the presence he brings to healing work. He has helped me so much, not only with his facility with acupuncture, but by being a safe witness to my own healing process.
