Michelle has broad experience in mental health nursing spanning over 30 years, including specialty areas of: Triage and Assessment, adult acute, early psychosis, child and adolescent and community mental health rehabilitation as a care coordinator. Prior to this, she worked in general nursing, across a range of clinical specialities, including surgical, haematology, oncology, HIV/AIDS, urology, gynaecology and surgical.

During her employment as an Intensive Care nurse in the 1990s, Michelle had severe eczema on her hands, which was quite challenging in the workplace. Seeking a more natural and long-term solution, she went to see a homeopath, beginning a lifelong passion for this healing art. She studied homeopathy in London, graduating in 1998, after which she returned to Australia, raised a family and ventured into private practice.

Roll on twenty five years, you will now find Michelle in an established private practice in Windsor, Western Sydney, where she provides:

• mental health consultations for people seeking a flexible and holistic approach for their mental/emotional wellbeing and
• homeopathic consultations for people presenting with a wide range of alterations in health.

Experience in both professions enhances the practice of the other, with the evolution of a unique skill set that is both flexible, holistic and tailored to the individual.

Michelle’s work is also profoundly influenced by the ‘Thinking Environment’ approach, after earning accreditation as a Time to Think facilitator. This framework fosters a reflective, supportive atmosphere conducive to therapeutic work, as well as collaborative problem-solving and group facilitation. It was foundational to her role as Manager of Support Groups for The Network, a support organisation for individuals bereaved by suicide.

A commitment to community wellness led Michelle to develop two notable social initiatives in the Hawkesbury: Be & Co., a healthcare-funded project providing psychosocial support through a pop-up café, and SoDa (Social & Dance), a bushfire recovery-funded project combining partner dancing and psychosocial support to foster social resilience. Both initiatives solidified her skills in resource coordination and community impact.

Michelle is passionate about her professions, has spoken at conferences and published articles in peer reviewed journals on topics related to homeopathy, mental health and the Thinking Environment. She is a past National President of the Australian Homeopathic Association (AHA), past AHA NSW Branch President and past Chairperson to the International Council for Homeopathy.

Michelle has a thirst for knowledge and engages in continual education and professional development to assist her clients achieve their wellbeing goals. She is currently engaged in a PhD with the University of Sydney, exploring psychosocial wellbeing and disaster recovery in the Hawkesbury.
