Providing results-driven, therapeutic massage designed to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you get back to doing what you love.
Nichole brings over 15 years of experience and takes a clinical approach to care, focusing on the root cause of restriction rather than temporary relief.
Her work is intentional, targeted, and built for people who want real results.
Dr. Michelle’s path into chiropractic care began through her own experience as a competitive ski racer. After dealing with multiple injuries throughout her athletic career, she was introduced to a form of care that went beyond simple symptom relief. Her treatment included not only adjustments, but also soft tissue work, recovery strategies, and nutritional support. That experience shaped how she views health today: as something that involves the entire body, not just isolated symptoms.
During her undergraduate studies, she worked in a sleep research lab studying sleep deprivation and circadian rhythms. While she enjoyed the scientific side of research, she realized she wanted to work directly with people and have a more immediate impact on their health and daily life.
Today, Dr. Michelle combines her clinical training with a whole-body, patient-centered approach. She works with individuals and families to better understand what is happening in their body and create care plans that support long-term health and function. You can also meet the rest of our team here.
Dr. Michelle approaches care with the understanding that no two patients are the same. Every visit begins with a detailed history and examination designed to uncover not just where the pain is, but why it is happening in the first place.
She prioritizes creating an environment where patients feel heard, unrushed, and fully informed. Her goal is for each person to leave their visit with a clear understanding of their condition, what is contributing to it, and how their care plan will help them move forward.
Her treatment style often incorporates a combination of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and cranial work. This allows her to adapt her approach based on the individual, whether that means a more traditional adjustment or a gentler, more neurologically focused technique.
Her additional training in Webster Technique, functional neurology, and cranial care helps her identify contributing factors that may not be immediately obvious and tailor treatment accordingly. If you’d like to learn more about available treatments, you can explore our chiropractic services here.
Dr. Michelle enjoys working with a wide range of patients, but she has a particular passion for caring for families. This includes newborns, infants, children, and postpartum mothers, as well as active adults navigating the demands of daily life.
She frequently works with postpartum mothers as they transition into early motherhood, helping support recovery, reduce discomfort, and improve overall function during a time when the body is adapting quickly.
In infants and children, she commonly addresses concerns such as feeding challenges, latching difficulties, colic, and general regulation. As children grow, this often shifts into supporting development, coordination, and neurobehavioral patterns.
For adults, she frequently helps with headaches, neck pain, and tension patterns that build from daily stress and posture. If you are unsure whether chiropractic care is the right fit, you can review our FAQs here.
Patients often leave their visits feeling not only physically better, but also more aware of how their body is functioning. One of the most common pieces of feedback is how helpful it is to understand why they are experiencing certain symptoms.
Many patients notice improvements in areas they did not initially connect to their primary complaint. This may include better movement, reduced tension, improved sleep, or overall changes in how their body responds to stress.
Parents often report meaningful changes in their children as well, including improved comfort, better feeding patterns, and more consistent behavior and regulation.
Pediatric chiropractic care is often very different from what most people expect. It is gentle, calm, and tailored to each child’s comfort level.
Care typically involves light touch, subtle movements, and careful observation rather than forceful adjustments. The goal is to support the nervous system and allow the body to function more efficiently.
Dr. Michelle focuses on creating an environment where both the child and parent feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout the entire visit.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Michelle enjoys an active lifestyle with her husband and two children. Living in Bozeman allows her to stay connected to the same activities many of her patients enjoy, from skiing in the winter to climbing and backpacking in the summer.
That connection to an active lifestyle helps shape how she approaches care. She understands what it takes to stay active, recover well, and keep doing the things you enjoy long term.
