Hi, I’m Michelle Clifford
I created Intuitive Wellness Acupuncture out of a deep desire to support women through every step of their journey — and to offer real, actionable guidance that leads them home to their own intuition.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a beautiful way in. Not a protocol handed down to you, but a perspective: that your body holds an innate, limitless wisdom about its own healing. My work is to help you hear it again.
Women's health is where my deepest passion lives — fertility, cycles, hormones, pregnancy, postpartum, and the seasons that follow. I know how precious self-care becomes once you're a mother, and how quickly it becomes the first thing to go. You deserve to feel like your best self, and to actually enjoy the years of matrescence and everything beyond them.
The way I practice is deliberately small. I take on a limited number of new patients because what I'm building with you is a relationship — I want you to walk in and have me already know your story, your goals, and your preferences, without looking anything up. Every patient gets a full hour and my consistent support.
Acupuncture is the center of the work, but we'll collaborate on the rest of it too: lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, sleep, stress, mental well-being. Many of the people who find me have seen a number of providers already, each treating a single piece, and no one asking how the pieces fit together. Finding that thread is the part of this work I'm proudest of — and it's usually where the real change begins.
My technique is gentle. If you're needle-hesitant, you're in good company, and you'll be surprised.
My Approach
My approach is rooted in treating the whole person, not just a symptom or diagnosis. When you come in, I take time to listen, ask questions and understand your story, your body and your goals.. Every session is unhurried and I weave together the modalities that best support you drawing from my education and experience. My goal isn’t only to leave you feeling better in the moment but to reconnect you with your bodies own wisdom, so healing becomes something you carry with you.
