After falling in love with Seattle during his youthful Army days, he’s finally returned to the city, leaving behind a chapter spent raising his son in Massachusetts.
Michael’s journey into acupuncture was sparked by his undergraduate passion for medicine and a deep desire to help others. Initially engaged in DNA research, he discovered his calling in Traditional Chinese Medicine, developing expertise in Chinese herbs, cupping, auricular therapy, and other modalities. His experience spans over two decades, with particular proficiency in treating PTSD, psycho-emotional issues, digestive and autoimmune conditions, and physical pain. He thrives on addressing complex medical issues, especially autoimmune diseases.
Patients on the East Coast fondly remember his compassion, competence, and genuine interest in their well-being. Their loss is Seattle’s gain!

Born in the Midwest, Chelsea developed her love of sports and being in nature, which led to her early passion of pursuing the healing arts. There she combined her love of horses, nature and the desire to facilitate healing in others, which brought her to Colorado.
Moving on from a brief stint in the US Air Force Academy, Chelsea pursued an education in Integrative Physiology at University of Colorado Boulder where she was a D-1 track and field athlete. Along the way she studied sports medicine, physical training, Equine Therapy, and occupational therapy to name a few. She furthered her knowledge of body systems in Western Medicine as an RN, which ranged from critical care, emergency medicine, to surgical and internal medicine.
Eventually Chelsea found acupuncture through her own health challenges and attended Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, where she honed her skills in Chinese Herbal Medicine, pain management, musculoskeletal pain, neurologic disorders, women’s health/fertility, cancer, hormone imbalances, and more. After obtaining her Master’s in Acupuncture and Herbs with a firm foundation in TCM and Japanese Meridian Therapy, she furthered her sub-specialities in Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Craniosacral techniques, Five Elements Acupuncture, and Jiao Scalp Acupuncture.
Chelsea continues to work in Western and Eastern medicines seeking to bridge the two traditions. She values the practical wisdom found in both aspects of healing, and is excited to serve clients providing safe, compassionate, whole-person care.
