Michelle realized she had a passion for working with the elderly, particularly those with neurological disorders while working at Woodstock Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and in the Home Health setting.  Following the birth of her 2nd child, who was born with a rare genetic condition, she chose to step away from her Occupational Therapy career to focus on providing the best care for her daughter. She met Amy O'Dell (creator of the IWBMC and founder of Jacob's Ladder) and began focusing on the brain-based interventions associated with the IWBMC.
