Michelle is an exceptionally great Acupuncturist and True Healer.She truly cares about her clients emotionally and physically wellbeing.As an active women I get into few minor unintentional injuries here and there and Michelles treatments of acupuncture, cupping, deep tissue massage, aroma therapy put me back together again and feeling amazing. She is absolutely wonderful to talk to, many times if not always our chats are so therapeutic on my mind. Each time I have treatments my inflammation is lowered leaving me feeling SO much better.Her knowledge of acupuncture, human body and her gentle techniques keeps me coming back over and over. Very grateful for her.

Michelle has helped me so much! She considered not just the main issue I have from an injury, but how an autoimmune problem was hindering the healing process. Now that she has gotten my immune system out of attack mode, my injury is getting better. A friend referred me to her, and I am forever grateful! Acupuncture can be so helpful, just remember that your results depend heavily on who does it!

Michelle Thelen spends time listening and addressing the whole person, as everything is interconnected. I’m convinced that this is the best way to better health and quality of life. Michelle has studied extensively for decades, and she continues to study and learn as discoveries are made. It’s so much more than acupuncture needles. I trust Michelle completely, as I’ve seen significant improvement in my pain and my overall health.

My wife and I have had acupuncture treatments with Michelle , We find her to be very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate about her work. I felt so much better after receiving several treatments from having had the COVID. I have much more energy, no more muscle pain and leg pain. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns before treating me. She is by far the best acupuncturist I have been to in the area. I would highly recommend her for acupuncture treatments. She is wonderful. She intuitively seems to know the best treatment for the medical problem. She is also very knowledge about herbs. You will not ne disappointed.

I have been seeing Michelle since December and I have enjoyed getting acupuncture with her. I was fairly nervous when first coming to her because I had never done anything like this. I struggle with TMJ and osteoarthritis in my jaw after having surgery several years ago. While this was the primary reason I was seeing Michelle, she helped with other issues I had been having as well, such as neck pain due to primarily working at a computer all day.Michelle was very knowledgeable with acupuncture and knew so much about my health just from my pulse. She recommended me some supplements and diet changes that could help with them. While I was anxious about acupuncture and the whole process at first, I am coming out of it feeling healthier and my jaw pain is better, along with other issues. I will continue to see her as needed but she has definitely helped me during these past few months. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr Thelen is an amazing healer. She considers the big picture and total health. Having had a major surgery, she was able to address issues such as scarring, inflammation, range of motion and nerve irritation. I wish that I had started working with her immediately after my surgery to avoid months of pain and discomfort. I trust her 100%!

I came to see Michelle for acupuncture on my neck and ankle. I was so impressed with how thorough and kind she is. I felt so comfortable and cared for. Both areas are feeling so much better! We created a plan for my ankle and I couldn’t be more pleased. Michelle is very knowledgeable in acupuncture and Chinese herbs. She made some great recommendations for me that go beyond what we treated in my first visit. It was above and beyond what I expected. Chapel Hill Acupuncture is the place to go to feel better!

I originally went to see Michelle because I was feeling very low energy. I felt so much better after just one treatment that I decided to kill two birds with one stone and follow up by booking her cosmetic acupuncture series. In the subsequent nine appointments, Michelle focused on minimizing facial lines and wrinkles with a combination of needle and serum application. Each appointment also included an add-on treatment (massage, acupressure, etc.), and additional non-facial needle application to help support overall health.Ive never taken good care of my skin, and years of living in the Florida sunshine had taken their toll. During the first facial treatment, I literally felt the left side of my face move up and some of the chronic droop around my left eye disappeared. After the nine treatment series, the 11 lines between my eyes and crows feet also appeared less deep. I look about five years younger. Michelle also gave me some information on good skin care going forward, which I really appreciate.I have friends who use Botox or other facial fillers, or who have had facial surgery, and this nine-session series did not produce such dramatic results. However, the improvement in my overall sense of well-being and the results I did achieve were well worth it. I unfortunately have moved away, otherwise I would definitely be following up with another facial series. I highly recommend Michelle and Chapel Hill Acupuncture as a health-focused skin care specialist.

Michelle is wonderful! I originally saw her for migraines and for ongoing symptoms of labrynthitis (an inner ear virus that comes with a whole bunch of weird symptoms). She was so kind and helpful, and was one of the few providers who I felt truly listened to me. She helped me so much with my symptoms! I went back to her recently for pregnancy-related nausea and for ongoing pregnancy support. She continues to be just as supportive and I am so thankful for her!

Michelle has been so helpful in reducing my chronic neck, back and jaw pain and as an added bonus Michelle has provided Supplements and a topical ointment that have made the skin problem I have improve tremendously. I would recommend Michelle highly to anyone interested in an acupuncture professional , she is thoughtful and has great attention to my medical needs . Thank you , Lou

Ive been working with Michelle for several years and I call her acupuncture space my happy place. I had never had acupuncture before I came to see her the first time, and I was super impressed with her ability to listen deeply and figure out a treatment for whatever I need at the time. Weve worked on my arthritis, hip, back, neck pain, and overall wellbeing. Shes gentle and thorough and will spend all the time the treatment takes. I never feel rushed. On the contrary, I always feel taken care of, and I cant recommend her highly enough!! I wish there were more stars I could give her on this review!

I have been going to Michelle for 18 months. and I highly recommend her. She listens to you and really tries to give the maximum benefit of your treatment.

Michelle Thelen is wonderful! Her treatment is very personalized. She takes the time to get to know you and provide the right treatment for what you need. She also makes lovely essential oils!

Michelle Thelen is a miracle worker! I have been seeing Michelle for acupuncture treatment for my TMJ issues, migraines, and chronic neck and back pain for about a year now. She has completely changed me life, and has made my chronic pain manageable. Michelle is extremely knowledgable in what she does, and is always providing insight into how different parts of ones body and ones environment affect each other. Her approach is comprehensive, personalized, and holistic. She pampers all of her patients with customized regiments of essential oils and herbs. Michelle recommended to me an herbal remedy as a part of my treatment for chronic headaches, and it has significantly decreased the regularity and severity of my migraines. I highly recommend Michelle for anyone undergoing a chronic pain condition, or anyone interested in maintaining their health in general!

I have visited this office on several occasions, and with each treatment I leave feeling so much better. This last time I went for a whiplash caused by a car accident. My neck and upper back were quite sore. Much to my surprise and delight, the pains have been incredibly reduced and I left feeling relaxed and at ease. I will return for at least one more treatment during this phase of healing.I mentioned how I felt and Michelle shared that she had at one point in her past massage business, worked with whiplash patients. her strong fingers and placement of needles seemed to know where to go. I am most grateful!

I have been working with Michelle for about a year for my trigeminal neuralgia and stress. She has helped with my flares tremendously. I have successfully been without any type of medicine for years. Michelle is very attentive and detailed. I highly recommend Michelle for your needs.

I have been seeing Michelle Thelen at Chapel Hill Acupuncture for the last few months. I was experiencing frequent headaches, occasional migraines, and sleeplessness. After only a couple of visits, I am now sleeping sounder, my headaches are less frequent, and I thoroughly enjoy my visits with Michelle. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and considers herself a lifelong student of acupuncture, herbs, and healing. She presents a relaxed, calm demeanor and I trust her with my healing; she is a wonderful practitioner!

I have been to many acupuncturists over the years and Michelle is by far the most talented and thorough that Ive seen. She has spent quite a bit of time researching my specific needs and has a caring bed side manner -- as well a terrific sense of humor! I have recommended her to many friends and family members.

Ive been seeing Michelle Thelen for several years now and am a devoted client. She has addressed issues ranging from back pain, neck pain, stress, grief and digestive issues. I see her regularly for aesthetic acupuncture, where I believe she has made a tremendous difference in appearances of wrinkles, puffiness and redness. Michelle is a great listener and creates personal care plans that make me feel so well cared for. Her dedication to research indicates her constant striving to meet her clients needs. I know I am healthier - and wiser - for my time with Michelle.

Michelle is phenomenal, she is very attentive and a great listener. She has treated me for shoulder pain due to a rotator cuff tear and reflux. She is amazing at what she does. My pain and reflux have improved tremendously.

I first visited Michelle for help with TMJ pain and migraines, but she and her work have been helpful with those issues as well as others. She is an excellent acupuncture practitioner and is very responsive to the patient’s needs. I would definitely recommend her.

I have been seeing MIchelle Thelen at Chapel Hill acupuncture for several months now. I have been very impressed with her and suggested my husband also see her after my first visit. I did my research first and felt like she had the skills and experience I was looking for, and I am now sure I made the right choice. I live in an area about 60 miles away, but it has been worth it to us to make the trip. The previous practitioner I had been using in my local area, had turned into a high volume practice that only spent a very small amount of time with each patient. I appreciate the flexible evening and weekend hours she has available, especially helpful with the commute we make. She spends adequate time with you each time, never making you feel hurried. You can tell she really cares about you as patient and is continually researching additional things that may help with your issues.
