You deserve more than symptom management

Your first season of root-cause care starts here

Explore your path to root-cause care

For one reason or another, the conventional approach to your health is not cutting it for you. The mainstream medical system incentivizes short visits that only scrape the surface of symptoms.

Rather than rushed visits and referrals to specialists, you are looking for someone to see you in your wholeness and help you connect the dots of what you are experiencing.

Together we carve a different kind of path for your health - one built on time, commitment and human connection. Let’s partner for your first season together to understand your body/mind in a completely new way.

Meet Dr. Michal

The fortune cookie version of my life’s work would read something like: “You will weave together health, education and creativity in surprising and delightful ways.” 

By the time I decided to study medicine, I knew that the conventional approach wouldn't work for me. So I took the leap and moved across the country to study naturopathic medicine, which focuses on whole person care, prevention and root-cause healing.

Why work with philly naturopathic?

Stop spinning your wheels, and start understanding root causes

Your body is wise, and it’s important to understand what it’s trying to communicate to you. As a naturopathic doctor, I’ve been trained to interpret symptoms and see how interconnected various issues can be in order to help you better connect the dots about your own body and health.

It’s not all in your head, you can trust your gut

Learning to hear your intuition in order to become more discerning about your health can be a game changer. I’m here to help educate and guide you as you dive deeper into listening to what your body is telling you.

Sustainable changes for long-term health

You don’t have to overhaul your whole life to start seeing improvements in your health; small adjustments can add up to big changes.

Receive more time and attention for your care

Invest in your health with a doctor who is invested in your wellbeing. I spend the time listening to what is happening with you, getting to the heart of what you need, and supporting you as you become the best version of yourself.

There’s no one right path to your health goals

Care is customized for every patient that walks into my office. I don't operate off of a check-list that you need to follow, but rather enjoy crafting a path together that works for you. It's one of my favorite parts of the job, since it's really where the science of medicine meets the art of healing.

  • wisdom and knowledge blended together

    "Michal is one of the most attentive practitioners I have ever worked with. Her deep listening skills, magical touch and gentle approach makes you feel seen, heard and understood in a way that we rarely get to experience when managing our health in the traditional health world. Her wisdom and knowledge blended together truly make you feel like you are in the hands of a skilled therapist." - J.J.Y.

  • we figured out new supports to completely transform my energy levels

    "Working with Dr. Michal was the missing piece to my mental and physical health puzzle this past year. Coming out of the pandemic, even as a mental and physical health practitioner myself, I was out of whack in ways I didn’t know how to handle, and my conventional western doctors were of no help. Dr. Michal was the full package: excellent bedside manner, incredibly supportive, and we figured out new supports to completely transform my energy levels. I couldn’t be more grateful. Wholeheartedly recommend." - K.S.

  • warm, supportive, and empathetic approach

    “I wanted to share with you that I highly recommended you to the UW Headache clinic and shared with them not only the great benefits I’ve had working with you, but your warm, supportive, and empathetic approach. The doctor I visited with was very much interested in having someone she can refer her patients to when patients ask for a more holistic approach. I did share with her that your focus is on mental health, taking into account headaches, amino acid deficiencies, and nutrition.” - S.B.

  • putting the puzzle pieces together to form a clear picture of what we are experiencing

    "Michal (aka Dr.W) is insightful, informative and wonderful at putting the puzzle pieces together to form a clear picture of what we are experiencing (in our health, in our body, in our life) and suggesting a versatility of approaches to reassure us, and to help us evolve with a clear direction, a clear intention." - C.R.

  • always listens, makes sure she fully understands what I am asking, and responds with no judgment and with full support

    "I am lucky to know Michal on many levels. I have sought her wisdom for spirituality and for personal health concerns. She always listens, makes sure she fully understands what I am asking, and responds with no judgment and with full support. We have had discussions about the healthcare profession (which I am also in) and I know she approaches her patients with great care." - E.D.

  • compassionate, competent, and extremely skilled at what she does

    “Michal is an incredible provider! I sought craniosacral treatment with Michal after a concussion, and each time I was treated I experienced an immediate improvement in my concussion and pain symptoms. She is compassionate, competent, and extremely skilled at what she does. Could not recommend more!” - R.R.
