ABOUT US
Meet Dr. Michele Rivera
Your Guide to Holistic Healing & Wellness
Connections Healing and Wellness was founded with two main goals: to share effective healing tools for a joyful life and to help patients reduce their reliance on medications by unlocking their natural healing potential.
With a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and 20 years of experience, I have observed a troubling trend—patients are prescribed increasing amounts of medication, often without fully understanding their purpose. Many continue to suffer, seeking alternatives beyond conventional medicine.

Our Purpose
Traditional Western medicine, as I originally was taught, emphasized addressing root causes before turning to medication. However, modern practices often use medicine as a quick fix, leading to long-term dependency and worsening health. On my personal healing journey, I incorporated Eastern methods like acupressure, Reiki, yoga, and sound healing, resulting in recovery from PTSD, anxiety, depression, cancer, and addiction. This experience revealed the power of integrating Eastern and Western medicine for true healing.
The mission of Connections Healing and Wellness is to help patients heal holistically—mind, body, and spirit. By educating them on both their medications and natural healing methods, my goal is to empower individuals to take control of their health, listen to their bodies, and achieve lasting well-being. I will meet my patients where they are on their healing journey and work with them at their comfort level to achieve their goals. I want my patients to know they are not alone on their healing journey. I will guide them toward self-healing and a more fulfilling life.
