About Michael

Michael Shpak, L.Ac.

My professional journey began with a deep love for people and a calling to help them overcome physical and emotional pain.

Philosophy

Body, mind, spirit

I have studied psychology, biology, traditional Chinese medicine, modern nutritional biochemistry, functional medicine, and a host of other disciplines. The reliance of Western medicine on chemical intervention after a 10 minute evaluation seems skewed to me. I have found that health is one's normal state when body, mind, and spirit are in balance. Working together, we can achieve this balance.

I do not believe that success is measured by the size of a client base nor achieved by eliminating symptoms. Comprehensive insight into each individual's situation allows me to build a unique life rebalancing plan. In this way, I can assist the individual, you, in achieving a desired, balanced, and healthy life. And that is my measure of success.

I welcome you and I look forward to sharing with you all the love, compassion, and knowledge that I have to offer.

Working together

You and Michael work as a team toward your balance and health.

During our time together, I listen carefully to the many levels of your communication, eventually discerning an underlying imbalance displaying itself in a set of symptoms. Then, I confirm my insights and conclusions with targeted assessments.

Because true healing involves balancing body, mind, and spirit, your active participation is an important part of any rebalancing plan. While I draw on several healing modalities, I cannot give you balance. Acupuncture happens during your visit. Other modalities, like nutritional adjustments, are ones you take into your daily life to continue your rebalancing.
