Clinical Director

Board-Certified Women’s Health Clinical Specialist

Michelle’s dedication to helping others led her to pursue a career in Physical Therapy, earning her Master’s Degree from Chapman University in 2002. Over the years, she has gained extensive experience across various clinical settings, including neuro rehab, home health, inpatient care, and outpatient orthopedics. Since 2008, she has focused on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, becoming Kauai’s most experienced therapist in treating incontinence, pelvic pain, colorectal issues, and pelvic girdle dysfunction in both men and women.

In 2021, Michelle reached two major milestones: she became a Board-Certified Women’s Health Specialist and opened Wahine Wellness & Pelvic Health, Kauai’s first women’s-only clinic. She believes women require specialized care that evolves throughout their lives and is committed to providing personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs.
