Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson speaks with Michelle Oravitz on acupuncture and infertility care.
Michelle Oravitz, began her career as an architect upon
graduating from Philadelphia University. After many years of
experiencing missed periods and enduring stress at her high demand
job in NYC, she decided to go to an acupuncturist named Dr. Li who
immediately regulated her cycle. What she didn’t realize was that
her life would take a drastic turn in ways that she couldn’t
imagine. Not only did her symptoms resolve, but she also felt a
renewed sense of well being and clarity. She was unable to
recognize just how disharmonious she felt until she experienced a
new sense of well being that arose from her treatments.
After many years working as an architect, Michelle dreamed of going
back to school to learn alternative medicine. When moving to South
Florida, she enrolled in an Ayurvedic school which gave her
tremendous knowledge about this ancient and rich healing approach.
After starting a family, she began researching acupuncture schools
in order to expand her healing education with the hope that when
her kids began school, she would enroll. She worked from home as a
professional artist during her children's early years and when the
time was right, she enrolled into school to get her master’s degree
in Oriental Medicine. She infused her passion into her studies and
graduated Summa Cum Laude and valedictorian of her class.
Michelle has a profound desire to heal. She views healing as an
immensely sacred act that is a honor and a privilege. Her mission
is to bring wellness into the world one being at a time. To aid in
the healing process with a hope of not only resolving symptoms, but
also returning individuals to their natural state of wellbeing.
Michelle believes that if she had not gone to a TCM doctor, she
probably would have had a hard time getting pregnant with her two
children. This has influenced her to develop a special interest in
treating gynecological disorders and infertility.
Michelle hosts ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ where she provides fertility tips and interviews leading fertility professionals.
