My Approach

Regenerative Nutrition

I believe that nourishment is more than just calories or macros—it’s a relationship. My approach as a nutritional therapist, personal chef and folk herbalist is rooted in holistic, ancestral wisdom, using seasonal foods, simple techniques, and intentional rituals to support the body, mind, and spirit. I teach regenerative cooking practices that not only nourish you deeply, but also honor the earth—choosing ingredients, methods, and rhythms that give back, minimize waste, and reconnect us to the land and traditions that feed us.

Pillars of Health

in the Wild Woman’s Kitchen

  • Real Food

    Real food is the foundation of vibrant health: offering nutrients, energy and building blocks your body was designed to thrive on. When we return to whole, unprocessed ingredients, we create the conditions for lasting nourishment and wellbeing.

  • Nature Connection

    We are not separate from nature, we are nature. Reconnecting with the seasons, the wild world, and the natural rhythms of your body brings a deep sense of alignment and clarity. It helps you eat, move, and live in ways that are both nourishing and intuitive.

  • Simple Living

    Health doesn’t have to be complicated. When we simplify, we make space for what matters most. Slowing down, reducing clutter (physical and mental), and finding rhythm in the everyday creates a sense of calm and control that supports true well-being.

  • Food Preparation

    Cooking is a sacred act of self-care. Learning to prepare meals from scratch—using traditional, time-honored methods—builds confidence, connection, and vitality. When you know how to nourish yourself, you become your own healer.

  • Imperfection

    There is no perfect way to eat, live, or cook—only what works for you right now. Embracing imperfection allows you to grow without guilt, experiment with curiosity, and create sustainable change rooted in self-compassion.

TESTIMONIALS

  • From the very first session with Michelle, I felt some relief. Michelle really listened to what was happening and was not inclined to jump to solutions, but to ask more questions. This made it clear to me the work I needed to do. We are finding so much less struggle at meal times and so much more ease and joy each day. I can’t thank Michelle enough.

  • After working with Michelle I felt more sure of what I was cooking, how to cook it and when to cook it. The grocery store doesn't feel so overwhelming since I have a direction for meals each week. I feel so good knowing I am making the best food for my family.

  • "Michelle is kind, supportive, clear, and a real personal advocate who listens and reflects back what is true. She has helped me sort out, simplifying and generally keeping our days and meal times easy and organized. I'm loving our relationship and I'll be thrilled to work with her again. Thank you Michelle! You are my current rockstar!"
