Michelle Oravitz is an acupuncturist specializing in fertility health, who decided to change her career from architecture to natural medicine in the early 2000’s. It was not until her life was transformed by acupuncture, that she was inspired to change her path. Michelle suffered from missed periods from the time she was thirteen. After years of being prescribed the birth control pill by Western medicine doctors and then coming off the pill to continued missed periods, she decided to go to an acupuncturist named Dr. Li who immediately regulated her cycle.
Michelle also noticed that the acupuncture created a sense of well-being and that her energy increased. It was this transforming event that inspired her to learn Ayurveda and later Traditional Chinese Medicine. She also realized that had it not been for Dr. Li, she would have struggled for many years to get pregnant. This realization, and a natural fascination to learn about fertility drew her to specialize in fertility wellness. She is passionate about empowering women and couples to take ownership of their health and wellness.
Michelle helps women and couples conceive both in person and virtually and is on a mission to help women get pregnant (naturally and IVF preparation) through her one on one work at her acupuncture clinic as well as online.
She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom. Michelle believes that our bodies are hardwired to procreate and by connecting to our inherent wisdom, we can awaken our natural reproductive vitality.
Michelle is the host of a top rated podcast called ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ . She has been endorsed by best-selling authors such as Aimee Raupp, Jessica Ortner, and Dr. Lisa Miller.
During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family as well as reading, yoga, meditation, and painting!
