Southeastern Michigan’s Only Occupational Therapy Clinic Dedicated to Women in Midlife
Get Lasting Relief from Bladder & Bowel Issues, Pain with Sex, Chronic Pelvic Pain, as well as, the Overwhelm and Discomfort associated with Menopausal Symptoms
Menopause should not be a taboo topic. It should be a sacred time. It is a transition just like puberty and motherhood. Most women, during this time, struggle with sleepless nights, hot flashes, bowel and bladder issues, painful sex, pain in their bodies, low energy, mood swings, and weight gain.
Inner Connections is a specialty Occupational Therapy practice dedicated to women in peri/post menopause to find comfort in their bodies and joy in their lives.
My goal is to help you navigate this journey so you can live a healthy, active lifestyle without pelvic floor symptoms or intense menopausal discomfort. I believe you deserve to feel safe, nurtured and confident both in your body and your life.
My office is in West Bloomfield, MI. Just a short drive from Farmington Hills, Commerce, Birmingham, Southfield, Walled Lake, and Bloomfield. I look forward to seeing you here!
Inner Connections Women is right for you if:
You are having pelvic floor issues such as leaking or constipation, pressure or pelvic pain and pain with sex
You are struggling with symptoms of peri/post menopause such as sleeplessness, weight gain, lack of energy, mood swings
You live in a constant state of stress, overwhelm and disorganization (fight/flight state)
You find it challenging to manage day to day tasks and responsibilities
You have taken care of others for so long you don’t even know how to take care of yourself
You have developed unhealthy coping mechanisms and know you need to change
You are having difficulty with focus, memory, slower processing or brain fog
You have been in psychotherapy dealing with trauma and are still struggling
My 4 Step Inner Connections Process:
Regulate your nervous system: Whether you are dealing with physical discomfort or emotional turmoil this ramps up our nervous system into a fight/flight/freeze response. Healing cannot occur in this state.
Get Relief from Symptoms: We work together to find the root cause of your issues. From there, we make a plan of care specifically designed to get you back on track.
Confidence with flares or setbacks: Flares and setbacks are a normal part of life. However, now you will have the tools and confidence to manage whatever comes up for you, building resilience in your nervous system.
Wellness Visits/Tune-Ups: We all get our teeth cleaned 2x per year and get our car oil changed every 3000k miles. Adding nervous system or pelvic health regular checks ups will maintain your overall health and well-being.
What Women Are Saying:
When I came to see Michelle, I was struggling with low back pain, pelvic pain, and poor posture. Michelle was very warm, slow, gentle and sensitive to my emotional state. After 3 months of working with Michelle and following the treatment plan, I can now say I do not have pain and have improved posture and stamina. I am now a happy women, wife and mother.

I have been receiving CranioSacral therapy(CST) with Michelle for years as part of my self-care routine. I struggle with chronic pain and anxiety. CST helps to calm my nerves and reduce the stress and tension in my body. After a session with Michelle, I feel renewed and refreshed. Michelle is very kind and caring and makes me feel safe.

Michelle is an important part of my personal healing journey. When I recieve CST/SER work from her, emotions often come up and are able to be processed and released in a safe space. It allows my body to let go of pent-up tension in my nervous system and it has made me more resilient. I often experience a deep sense of calm and stillness, which has a ripple effect on my overall health. Thank you, Michelle for your incredible work! E.B.- Southfield, MI
