Michelle Kobitowich

Hi! My name is Michelle Kobitowich, and I am the Doctor of Acupuncture at Movenetics. When I was growing up and people asked if I was involved in any sports, I always hesitated and said, “I’m not sure if you consider it a sport, but I dance.” As I grew up, I realized that dance was as much of a sport as any. It involved passion, athleticism, teamwork, dedication, and skill. Following my graduation from the competitive dance world, I taught for a couple of years and my love for dance continues to this day.
In 2020, I had the privilege of becoming one of Mike’s patients and I instantly felt like my life was changed. I had been suffering with back pain for years, but since there was never a solid diagnosis from scans, I never felt heard, nor received any relief. With Mike, that was different. After only my second treatment with Mike I was so inspired that I decided to apply for Acupuncture school. My goal instantly became “to make peoplefeel the way Mike made me feel”. That being: heard, supported, understood, and relief.
I was drawn to Acupuncture because of the way it addresses a multitude of concerns. Whether external or internal concerns, Acupuncture can help the body return to a balanced state of health. Some of the areas that acupuncture can treat include pain, inflammation, the common cold or flu, digestion, gynecological, migraines, skin conditions,
During my time completing the Acupuncture Program at MacEwan, I completed over 600 hours of clinical practice, learnt about Traditional Chinese Medicine, and was trained in multiple modalities including but not limited to needling, cupping, and Tuina (Chinese medical massage). My favourite part about being in clinic is meeting and treating patients based on their individual needs. I am so passionate about helping others that no matter how small they’ve been made their concern to feel, I am willing to listen and work to understand what they are experiencing. My treatments address both the root cause and the varying related factors to ensure I can provide long term solutions.
When I am not in the clinic, I am possibly not in the country as I have a strong passion for travel. My other interests include cheering on the Oilers, spending time with my family, and enjoying the outdoors. I look forward to meeting you and hope to have significant impact on your journey towards health and wellness.
