Meet Dr. Michael DAOM L.Ac.

About Dr. Michael


Dr. Michael is a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) working with both physical symptoms and emotional patterns as they present in the body.


His approach is focused on what is actually happening in the moment.


Sessions are responsive and may include acupuncture, energy-based work, or emotional integration depending on what is present.


His work focuses on the interaction between physical symptoms, emotional patterns, and the overall regulation of the body.

In addition to Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Dr. Michael has training in a range of complementary approaches, including:


  • Bengston Energy Healing Method

  • Classical Five Element Acupuncture (Worsley style) emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing


This training supports an integrative approach that allows different methods to be used as needed, depending on what is present in the system during a session.



Approach to Care


Dr. Michael’s approach is practical, responsive, and experience-based.

Sessions are not based on applying a fixed protocol, but on working with what is actually happening in the moment—whether that presents physically, emotionally, or both.

Emotional patterns are addressed directly when they arise, often through Emotion Reintegration work, which focuses on resolving internal emotional splits as part of the overall treatment process.



Clinical Perspective


Patients often describe the work as grounded, attentive, and straightforward.


The emphasis is on listening closely to what the system is expressing and working with it in a way that supports natural regulation and change.


The approach is both structured and flexible, drawing only on methods that have demonstrated practical value in clinical application.
