 I’m honored to have you as a guest on my site.  Please enjoy the information provided and call if you have any questions!  Dr. Michelle Wolford, ND is trained as both a Natural Healer and Medical Doctor.  I primarily treat those searching for internal balance (physical, mental/emotional support and spiritual guidance), athletes, kiddo’s and patients who are interested in using natural medicine to prevent dis-ease, improve their overall health or cure illness; particularly focusing on digestive health, nervous system, immune system and endocrine system (fancy word for hormones!).

Natural medicine is about looking at all aspects of YOU- what is going on with you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually (or energetically). The type of natural medicine Dr. Michelle uses is Earth Medicine to bring health, balance and light into your four main energetic bodies (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual).

Earth Medicine is the most powerful, yet gentle and intuitive medicine. Through Earth Medicine, you can treat acute or chronic illness.  You can also release and heal old or new emotional trauma, physical trauma, limiting beliefs or internal imbalances to create a lasting shift in your health.

My passion is to educate, listen and guide you on your path to optimal wellness.  I want to show you a natural way to feel AMAZING!  To live in the flow of life free of physical ailments, emotional heaviness or self-created fear, worry, doubt and anxiety by giving you the gift of true healing, self love and freedom leading to unlimited happiness and lasting success both in personal relationships and business/school!  What do you want to see change in your life? If you weren’t afraid, what would you do differently?  What would you create?  Who would you be?

I would love to share my personal story with you!

I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Intuitive Success Coach.  I finished my Naturopathic Medical degree at National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon and soon thereafter completed a certificate program in Intuitive Success Coaching in San Diego, CA.

I currently own and run Life In Motion, Naturopathic Medical Clinic and am also the owner and founder of 30-Somethings and South American Earth Medicine Retreat Center (ground breaking for building scheduled for October 2012).

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas by my two loving parents and chose to leave home at fifteen for the prestigious college preparatory school Culver Academies in Culver, Indiana on a sports scholarship.  Attracted to the outdoor lifestyle of Colorado, I made my move west and graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a degree in Sociology.  Soon there after left for Surfers Paradise, Australia to study the culinary arts.  Upon my return, I began a program in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at San Diego State University.

Having discovered my true purpose and passion for healing and educating BY playing and navigating my way through life and all its presenting experiences and challenges, I emerged into my true calling as a healer and naturopathic doctor.

“Abouts” always touch on our accomplishments, but the beauty of life lives within the light as well as the dark.  Unconsciously or consciously, we attract experiences into our life as learning tools to explore self and grow into our ultimate purpose.  I have had some unique experiences, but so goes the balance of life, have also been gifted with transforming experiences such as sexual abuse, four years of physical disability, loss of a lover and the death of a parent.  And, it was through natural medicine and intuitive success coaching that I was able to release old trauma, heal my physical, mental and emotional bodies and gain a different perspective on life that allowed me to continue enjoying the journey of life while constantly metamorphasizing into my ultimate person shining light, love, medicine and knowledge on others.

Dr Michelle has experience working with grief counseling around death, sexual abuse, addiction, life transition (change around career, family, relationships), whole-body balancing, kids health, sports medicine and specifically the endocrine system (hormonal systems that regulates sleep, energy, mood, temperature, thyroid function, adrenal function, testie and ovarian function, fertility and stress), the intestines (nutrition and detox both inside and outside each cell) and the Central Nervous System (brain, neurotransmitters and energy flow within).

I do believe, to truly embrace your light you must embrace your dark and love yourself equally.  It is my goal as a Naturopathic Doctor and Intuitive Success Coach to create a safe place where men, women and kids can come to truly transform their mind, body, emotions and spirit to a higher level of health enabling you to live your life on a clearer and less resistant path of wellness and purpose.

In my spare time, you can usually find Dr. Michelle paddling out at Moonlight beach for some spiritual time with the ocean, sweating out lifes toxins in yoga or running with the sun. She also enjoys playing tennis, beach volleyball and just about anything that incorporates the outdoors and people.

In addition to always learning the latest techniques and following medical updates, Dr. Michelle has a passion for foreign language, culture, dancing, music and the culinary arts. She finds great joy and passion in connecting with others and learning more about the world she lives in.

Come get to know this energetic ray of sunshine that will add a little magic to your day!

Our Philosphy:

Ideally we are all living a balanced life moving smoothly through each day enjoying all aspects of life and donating a little time to each aspect of who we are… 

Much like the tires on a bike- when out of balance- it makes the ride rough, lots of work and less mileage in more time.

When our body is out of balance, it too gives us little clues to STOP and regroup.  These signs manifest as symptoms ranging anywhere from fatigue, brain fog, headaches, body aches, allergies, flushed face, chronic coldness, inability to lose/gain weight….I could go on.

Unfortunately, generally speaking, we are part of a society that “can’t be bothered”.

BUT… if you can imagine.  (Analogy) A person comes to your door and knocks.  You think, “I can’t be bothered” and decide not to answer the door.  So they choose to ring the door bell because they want your attention.

Again, you decide you “can’t be bothered”. Then, they pick up a rock and throw it in your window, break the glass and you finally get up off the couch and say “WHAT?!?”.  Well, we often do this in our lives.  We have a body ache, a headache, a little indigestion or a stuffy nose.  We can’t sleep or we get occasional skin rashes/breakouts.  We decide, we “can’t be bothered” and take something to mask the symptom.  Eventually, sometimes even 30 years later, we are at the doctors office and now we have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, chronic allergies, joint deterioration or cancer.  That is our rock in the window.  So, be proactive and take care of your health today. You are worth it!

I like to start with what I call, basic balancing treatments.  These are simple, inexpensive, at home remedies that you can do on a daily basis to maintain and promote optimal wellness.

Then, I like to focus on your system as a whole to understand WHY YOU are presenting with YOUR symptom.  Your symptom is unique to you, so your treatment is unique to you too!

While I am treating your current symptom, I like to investigate your past and family medical history to gain a deeper understanding of you; how your immune system responds to the world we live in (Miasm), how you interact with the world you live in (Temperament) and your genes (Constitution).  These three aspects in addition to past life experiences affect your health today.  All this information gives me a better understanding of YOU!  Then, I will often focus on those particular organ systems that may need some support.  From there we treat the current symptom by palliating the issue, searching for the root cause to then retrain the body how to function optimally so you are NOT on medication or supplementation for the rest of your life.  We then continue to emphasize the importance of practicing your basic balancing treatments daily.

One of the most famous Naturopaths from the 1800′s, Samuel Hahnemann (mostly known for his Homeopathy- one of many treatment modality that Naturopaths use today) said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Naturopathic Medicine has been a part of our culture for thousands of years.  Embrace the world that has supported us for so long.

Food is medicine!   Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) said, “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”  For an old guy, he was right on the money!  Our world has provided us with everything we need to live a full, healthy and happy life.

Dr Michelle practices a special and unique form of Naturopathic Medicine that detoxifies the intra and extracellular matrix of your physical, emotional, energetic (or etheric), mental and spiritual body using the different remedy categories described below.  Each category has 20+ different plant, homeopathic and in some cases glandular properties that are specifically created to move your imbalance back to a state of flow and harmony.  Her treatment protocols are helpful to those with extreme dis-ease as well as those just needing a shift, support or wanting to dive into the true meaning of health and wellness.
