What we offer

Services

Every service is delivered one-on-one with Dr. Michelle Nowicki — no aides, no assistants, no rushed sessions. Just expert care built around your goals.

Cash-based means you get more

Without insurance constraints, every session is at the patient's discretion - 30 mins or 1 hour of focused, hands-on treatment. Michelle designs your plan around what you actually need, not what a billing code allows.
