My name is Michelle – though most of my friends call me Michy Moo!
I’m deeply passionate about psychology and its power to support and uplift individuals and families. In fact, I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Brock University. During my final year, I completed an Honours Research Thesis under the supervision of Dr. Michael Busseri in the Well-Being Research Lab, which examines the structure and function of subjective well-being.
After graduation, I continued working in the lab as a Research Assistant and became an Observer for the Supervised Parenting Time Niagara program at Pathstone Mental Health. I also volunteered for the Strengthening Families for the Future program at John Howard Society of Niagara, where I helped children build various life skills and facilitated family practice sessions.
From these experiences, I developed a strong understanding of the importance of supporting families through a trauma-informed lens and creating a safe and compassionate space. In the fall, I will be starting my Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at the University of Ottawa.
I am honoured to be a part of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to supporting clients in healing their relationship with food and their bodies through an anti-diet and weight-inclusive lens. I admire The Balanced Practice’s commitment to providing care from a lived-experience informed, collaborative and client-centred approach.
I understand that it can be difficult to take that first step towards recovery. As a first point of contact, I will create a non-judgmental space for you to share your treatment goals and needs.

We offer different services in order to meet you exactly where you are at and provide you with the most appropriate level of support to reach your goals (no one-size-fits-all here). Our team works closely together and with other healthcare professionals to make sure we can provide you with the very best care.
Here at The Balanced Practice, we get it. We believe that you deserve more joy, more connection, and more fulfillment. After all, life is meant to be experienced fully (and not spent feeling stuck in our own heads). And we want to help, our team is available during the day and into the evening!
