Michelle Alley
Michelle has over 20 years of clinical experience combining techniques of acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage and Yoga Therapy, with a devotion to assist individuals on their journey to health!
After a lengthy career in clinical massage therapy, Michelle continued her education in Oriental Medicine and is Board Certified in Acupuncture through the National Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
In addition to completing her Master of Science degree in Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, Michelle has also traveled to Tokyo, Japan to experience intensive training with 40 senior practitioners of Toyo Hari. Toyo Hari is a highly refined form of 5-element acupuncture emerging from Japan that focuses on treating the root and branch of imbalances in the body. Michelle completed the program certified by the Japanese Toyo Hari Medical Association, and continues to be an ongoing member of the Florida Branch of the Toyo Hari Association of North America.
With her extensive background in various types of bodywork therapy and an established referral network, including the practitioners here at Balance Bodywork, Michelle can assist patients in determining which other techniques may facilitate their healing and provide referrals to appropriate specialists when indicated.
In addition to her practical clinical experience, Michelle has also taught extensive courses in Massage Therapy Theory & Technique, Anatomy & Physiology, and Modalities associated with Holistic patient care at various local Technical College Massage Therapy Programs.
Her treatments may include modalities such as acupuncture needles used systemically to treat the root of the problem, or local acupuncture to increase circulation, improve range of motion, and relieve pain. Other supplemental treatments are utilized as needed, such as infrared heat therapy, oriental massage techniques such as gua sha, cupping, tui na, acupressure, reflexology, aromatherapy, and external herbal soaks or plasters.

Michelle Alley is wonderful!
I was wounded in the left knee while in Viet Nam. I have pain and limited movement. I also have lower back problems and shoulder problems as a result of walking with a stiff knee and having used crutches and canes over a period of time.
After my first treatment my knee had less pain and a much smoother feeling of movement. I continue to feel better and better after each treatment. I am able to walk and stand better with very little pain in my back and knee.
And as an added bonus I always feel very calm and relaxed. Since I am a business owner, it is huge for me to be able to cut down on stress and relax.
I highly recommend Michelle Alley and Balance Bodywork.
