Her body of work is based in energetic alchemy: guiding folks to uproot the causes of disease through a combined application of energy medicine, herbal medicine, embodiment, and connection to the Divine Self within.
Before her Ayurvedic career, Michelle worked in clinical research in the field of infectious disease, and was part of an international effort developing treatments for HIV/AIDS.

In the 1990s, Michelle provided clinical support for several concurrent antiretroviral phase III studies for many of the medicines that have since changed the landscape of HIV/AIDS treatment on a global scale. She also provided support for one of the first HIV vaccine phase III studies in the United States. Michelle plans to initiate future collaborations in research, to integrate the Ayurvedic framework into study design for subject screening, to help make sense of what are currently viewed as inconsistencies in data, and further modern scientific research regarding such topics as dementia and cardiovascular disease.
In recognition of her professional accomplishments, Michelle was accepted to the University of Liverpool's MPH program for health professionals, where she earned her Master of Public Health degree, the completion of which involved several research studies including investigating the effectiveness of meditative therapies in the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Michelle has published research on a wide range of public health topics, including the effects of meditation on anxiety and depression, the effects of marijuana use on the nervous system, asthma prevalence in Baltimore City, water contamination by pharmaceuticals and personal care products, the environmental effects of the Green Revolution in India, and the cultural health implications of agricultural change in the Amazon Basin.
Michelle studied medicinal chemistry and Indian Philosophy at George Washington University, where she learned from the renowned scholar Alf Hiltebeitel, studied Vedic Philosophy and Sanskrit language, wrote a thesis on Ayurvedic practice in America, completed Yoga teacher certification, and was awarded the Harry Yeide Prize for her scholarship. Michelle studied Anatomy and Physiology at the University of California Berkeley, and Ayurveda with teachers including Dr. John Douillard, Dr. Shekhar Annambhotla, and Perundevi Srinivasian.
Michelle completed a program with Swami Sadashiva Tirtha, the author of The Ayurveda Encyclopedia, to become certified as a Medical Intuitive. Additional trainings in Crystal Healing, Reiki, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) have allowed Michelle to incorporate these into her teaching and healing practice.
