FOR WIDOWS. FOR THE WHOLE OF YOU.

Life after loss.
Care for all
of you.

Grief touches your body, your days, and the woman you are becoming. A physician’s perspective on widowhood, physical wellbeing, and finding support.

SCIENCE, NATURE & THE HUMAN EXPERIENCEWITH DR. MICHELE BURKLUND

YOU CAN ARRIVE JUST AS YOU ARE.

There is love.
There is loss.
And there is still you.

Widowhood can change the shape of an ordinary day. The quiet of a room. The decisions you make alone. The future you thought you knew.

This is a place to bring those experiences into a conversation that has room for your body, your story, and the life you are living now.

01 / UNDERSTANDING

THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE OF GRIEF

Your body has
a story, too.

Sleep. Energy. Mood. Hormones. Even your interest in the things you once loved. These changes deserve a thoughtful conversation about your health and the support you need.

THE MEDICINE BEHIND THE CARE

Your story.
Your biology.
Your treatment plan.

I bring naturopathic, functional, and integrative medicine to the physical concerns that can accompany loss. We begin with your history, your symptoms, and what daily life asks of you now.

Targeted laboratory testing, nutrition, botanical medicine, mind-body practices, and medical treatment may each have a place. Your plan is shaped by what is appropriate for you.

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MEDICINE

I know this
as a physician.
And as a widow.

I’m Michele. My training taught me to investigate the body. Losing my husband brought me into a part of life no medical education could fully prepare me for.

My work brings clinical knowledge and lived experience into the same conversation.

SUPPORT, IN DIFFERENT FORMS

A place to begin.
A way to be supported.

Nothing to perform.
No timeline to follow.

YOU CAN TAKE THIS AT YOUR OWN PACE.

WHEN YOU’RE READY
