Meet Dr. Michelle Poirier, Chiropractor
A Purpose Built on Growth and Service
Dr. Michelle’s path to chiropractic was shaped by experience and instinct. “I took a leap of faith and decided to pursue chiropractic, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.” She had been seeing a chiropractor since she was a young athlete and continued through adulthood, so she’d seen how hands-on care can support how people feel and move day to day.
I wanted a career that would let me work directly with others, make a difference in their lives, and not have me sitting at a desk all day. Becoming a chiropractor checked all those boxes and more. It allowed me to combine my love of movement, health, and human connection into something deeply meaningful.”
Before chiropractic, Dr. Michelle worked as a Registered Dietitian, which shaped her respect for how lifestyle factors can influence overall well-being. She later completed her chiropractic education at the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, where she learned from practitioners with a wide range of perspectives. That exposure helped form her commitment to looking for contributing factors to pain, not just chasing symptoms.

Care That Feels Human
When someone meets Dr. Michelle for the first time, they often feel at ease. She offers a welcoming space where people feel comfortable sharing their story without pressure or judgment. “Chiropractic care is about so much more than adjustments; it’s about connection, education, and empowerment.” She believes the body can be resilient—and that thoughtful care and practical guidance can help people move forward with confidence.
Life Outside the Practice
Dr. Michelle’s northern Alberta roots sparked her love of the outdoors, and she still spends as much time as she can in nature. She has competed in triathlons and Ironman events and enjoys trail running, open-water swimming, cycling, hiking, and camping. In winter, she can be found cross-country skiing or snowboarding.
