4 Branches Chinese Medicine Center
Winston Salem Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Healing doesn’t happen only during a consultation. It grows through the small ways we learn to meet ourselves each day.
One of the greatest gifts of my clinical practice has been witnessing what becomes possible when people begin to trust the quiet intelligence of their own bodies.
That same attention to the whole person informs my writing and teaching. Through Art of Alchemy and Inner Radiance Institute, I offer ways to continue exploring your relationship with your body, your inner knowing, and the life unfolding around you.
Drawing on my years of clinical work, Daoist cultivation, and lived experience, I’ll accompany you as you discover how these teachings can support you in ordinary daily life.
You are welcome to begin wherever you feel drawn. There are two ways to enter this work, each offering a different way for me to accompany you: through Art of Alchemy, my Substack, or the Aligned Soul Roadmap, a free introductory course.
Art of Alchemy is a space of accompaniment through writings and reflections on embodied spiritual practice—living with uncertainty, listening inward, and returning to our own knowing in ordinary daily life.
I write from lived experience, exploring how Daoist teachings and practices meet the changing realities of being human. Walk with me as we explore what these practices look and feel like from the inside, and how they might support your relationship with yourself and your life.
For paid subscribers, I also offer monthly reflections and guided practices you can explore in your own time and return to in daily life.
This free course introduces your inner architecture through Chinese medicine and Daoist spiritual practice, exploring the living relationships within your body that shape how you feel, respond, and move through life.
I’ll accompany you in recognizing how the patterns you’ve developed to navigate life and feel safe live within your body—in its sensations, tensions, and familiar ways of responding—and how your heart holds both those protective patterns and your deeper knowing.
Rooted in the teachings of my Daoist lineage, this course helps you understand these relationships as they unfold in your own experience, so you can begin to recognize your knowing within your body and how it guides you in everyday life.
My self-paced courses offer a way for me to accompany you more deeply into the practices themselves. Each brings together the inner architecture of Chinese medicine and Daoist spiritual practice with step-by-step guidance, helping you understand the relationships that support a practice as you begin to experience it in your own body. You can move at your own pace, return to the teachings, and explore how the practices take root in your everyday life.
This course begins by exploring your internal foundation—how your system organizes itself through alignment, relationship, and awareness.
Before moving into standing practice, you are guided to recognize and feel this inner organization, creating a sense of coherence and support from within.
From there, standing becomes a way to deepen that connection—allowing your body to release unnecessary tension, receive support from the Earth, and experience stability as something that arises naturally from inside.
This course explores emotions as movements within your internal system, guided by the understanding that your deeper wisdom has been present within you from the beginning.
Drawing from Chinese medicine and Daoist inner alchemy, we look at how emotional energy forms, where it is held in the body, and how life experiences can shape its flow.
Rather than building something new, this work is about recognizing what is already here—your innate capacity to feel, process, and transform.
Through guided practices, you are supported in allowing your experience to come into presence, where it can shift and integrate naturally.
These offerings extend the same attention to the whole person that guides my clinical work. They offer ways to deepen your relationship with your body and your own knowing, with accompaniment you can return to as your life unfolds.
You are welcome to begin wherever feels most aligned.
I have been working long distance with Michele for almost 2 years now. I was a little reluctant at first on how this would work over the phone or via email, but my concerns were quickly dismissed after my first phone consultation. Michele immediately put me at ease with her compassionate nature and her excellent listening skills. In a very short time she was able to pinpoint my problems, recommend a treatment strategy and explain all this to me in layman terms. I am so impressed by her p… Read more
I came into the session with Michele feeling depleted and as if cords of energy were pulling me into a very negative space. She suggested that we do a Medical Qi Gong session, and just “look” and see what was going on. As she worked, I began to feel my shoulders release and a weight simply being lifted from my body.
She encouraged me to begin a conversation with the 3 year old me that had created this protective armor. I’ve done “inner child” work before, but this felt different. Instead of list… Read more
Michele turned my health around completely! Before I came to Michele I was diagnosed with “Fever of Unknown Origin” – I had a full on flu-like fever between 99-102 degrees with chills and extreme body aches EVERY DAY of my life for a year and a half. I had every test imaginable and even went to the Mayo Clinic to find out what was wrong. The doctors would scratch their heads and hurry me out the door as fast as they could – they diagnosed me with 3 autoimmune diseases including Hashimoto’s, asth… Read more
I began acupuncture with Andres to treat infertility caused by endometriosis. My husband and I had been trying unsuccessfully to have a child for over a year and were looking to try a noninvasive, holistic approach to treatment. In addition, I had suffered years of painful and heavy menstrual cycles. In only a few sessions, my menstrual cycles greatly improved and after three months of working with Andres I became pregnant. In addition to acupuncture, he recommended dietary and lifestyle changes… Read more
I totally credit Andres for giving me quality of life back. My migraines had completely taken control of my life. I was taking so many medications to control my migraines but still I was suffering with no relief in sight. I told Andres about my migraines and soon he came up with a specific herb formula for my migraines. At the beginning for someone who had tried all sorts of medicines I was skeptical of the herbs and the power it has to cure my migraines. But, within a couple of days… Read more
