About Fireweed Functional Wellness
Hi, my name is Michelle
Originally from the East Coast, I ultimately found—and fell in love with—Alaska. I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently share my home with one precious feline companion and a loving life partner.
For years, I lived life in the fast lane, caught in the stress and burnout of the typical 9-to-5 grind. My health was declining, and I found myself stuck in the frustrating cycle of conventional medicine: prescriptions, endless doctor visits, and still no real answers. I felt drained, fragile, and far older than my years.
Everything changed when I discovered functional testing and foundational lifestyle support.
​
Working with a functional practitioner helped me uncover the root causes of my symptoms and begin true healing—not just masking the issues. That experience ignited a deep passion in me, and I knew I had found my calling.
You Belong Here
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unheard…
If you’re exhausted all the time or struggling with digestion, hormone imbalance, migraines, anxiety, mood changes, skin flare-ups, brain fog, insomnia, unexplained pain, or changes in weight…
Or maybe your symptoms don’t have a clear name yet—but you know something isn’t right…
​
You still belong here.
​
This is a safe, supportive space for anyone seeking clarity, real answers, and a fresh start.
​
I believe the body is always communicating—and when we learn how to listen, healing can begin. You deserve to feel vibrant, capable, and at home in your body again. I’m honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
What Working Together Looks Like
What I Do
I help you uncover what’s been hidden beneath the surface. Through functional testing, lifestyle insights, and a deep look into your personal health story, I identify healing opportunities that your body has been signaling all along — long before symptoms ever showed up. Together, we connect the dots so you can finally understand why you feel the way you do, and how to move toward lasting change.
​
What I Don’t Do
I don't diagnose, treat, chase symptoms, or offer a one-size-fits-all protocol. Your body is unique - your path forward should be too.
​
My Approach
I believe true healing happens when we support the whole person — not just individual parts. That means nourishing every system with real, whole foods… creating rhythms of restorative rest… incorporating joyful, sustainable movement… balancing stress in the body and mind… and using targeted supplementation with intention, not overwhelm. When we work with the body — not against it — incredible things can happen.
​
What to Expect
A completely personalized approach focused on you — your goals, your history, your lifestyle, your healing journey. This is not a quick fix. It’s a step-by-step process of transformation. Bring your commitment and your curiosity — and I’ll walk with you every step of the way.
