I work with a wide variety of clients including:
I help you overcome your experience of physical (acute or chronic) and/or emotional pain (stress, anxiety, etc), and chronic illness (EBV, Thyroid, etc.) by using holistic and integrative medicine including Acupuncture, Biopuncture, Herbs and Supplements. I work with those who seek to transform their experience of pain/illness, and who want to improve their health and wellbeing. Working in this way can bring a reduction of pain and symptoms and relief from internal distress, and positively influence your body's own innate healing.
I help you in any phase of your fertility/parenting journey. If you are experiencing fertility setbacks, starting out on your fertility journey and want a holistic lens, or on the road to IVF/IUI/Adoption, I offer years of experience to help guide you on your path. I use holistic and integrative medicine including Acupuncture, Hello Pelvis Integrative Pelvic care, herbs, supplements & energy medicine. I work with a range of patients who want to only supplement with Acupuncture to those who want more structured guidance with herb/supplements/food support. Working with holistic and integrative medicine can help regulate the menses, improve fertility related challenges, & bring optimal reproductive health and wellness to you and your fertility/parenting journey.
I help you overcome your experience of fear, doubt, stress, anxiety, old belief patterns and behaviors, and help you connect and embark on your spiritual path by connecting you to your inner wisdom and higher consciousness. I work those interested in deepening their spiritual growth to those who are beginning their spiritual journey. Whether we work together once or on-going, we will work to guide you in your life's purpose so you can live a more connected, centered, balanced, and joyful life.
Through my own health journey and pursuit of spiritual inquiry, I am deeply interested in engaging with others in a way that will impact their unfolding.

Craniosacral Therapy
Dr. Michal Waldfogel, ND (she/her)
Acupuncture
Michal is a licensed naturopathic physician who brings nearly two decades of experience in education, facilitation and community-building to her work in health care. She is delighted to offer craniosacral therapy here at Union Wellness as another tool to address chronic pain, migraines, TMJ, post-concussion syndrome, anxiety and insomnia. She finds that this gentle work allows for a shortcut into the parasympathetic (or "rest and digest") nervous system and helps build stress resiliency.
She considers it a great privilege to witness what humans are able to overcome and an honor to be a guide along the way. First inspired to learn about integrative medicine while an undergraduate student at McGill University, Michal went on to become a yoga teacher before studying naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University and completing a two-year accredited naturopathic primary care residency. In her private practice, she has chosen to specialize in holistic mental health care to address the growing need for a comprehensive and collaborative approach to concerns, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and addiction. In particular she focuses on working together to uncover the biological factors that can contribute to symptoms, such as nutritional deficiencies, digestive issues and hormonal imbalance. She finds that adding this piece to the treatment puzzle often enhances the work of therapy and overall healing. To learn more about Michal's naturopathic practice, visit Inspired Circle Health
