“I can not say enough positive things about Michelle and my experiences at her clinic, in my eye she has saved my life. I was in a dark place dealing with hormonal issues and severe anxiety and with all her knowledge and the help of acupuncture and herbs I’m starting to be able to feel like ME again. It’s so incredible and I have her to thank for it all.. Michelle is beyond compassionate and caring, she is truly one of the best.”Read moreShow less

“Michelle is single handedly the most important practitioner in my health journey. And I’ve seen a lot of practitioners! It’s impossible to sufficiently express my abundant gratitude for her guidance, support and belief in me and my wellbeing. Regular appointments with Michelle continue to have a significant beneficial impact on my cycle. And I've experienced magical moments of immediate relief in many ways over the years I’ve seen her. Michelle is brilliant, which is obvious in the amazing results. But she’s also patient, generous, and really listens. She cares immensely on a professional and personal level. Her genuine level of care runs so deep, that a large part of how much she does for people goes unseen. But I believe it can be felt, that her support and treatment is from the heart!”Read moreShow less

“Michelle is amazing! I have gone back many times for acupuncture, she does a thorough exam and wants to know what you’re feeling so she can help you feel better. I always feel so relaxed and sleep extremely well for 4-5 night after a treatment!.”

She is very empathetic towards my needs or concerns and takes the time to really sit down and listen to me. Dr. Hughes goes out of her way to fit me into her schedule and I always leave feeling rejuvenated and well looked after! I would highly recommend Dr. Hughes for acupuncture.”Read moreShow less

“Michelle is amazing and I would recommend everyone to see her! I first went to Comox Valley Acupunture years ago for fertility support, but learned so much about what acupuncture can do to help our bodies. Finding headache relief after years of chronic headaches, pain relief, heart burn support, mood, energy support, and so much more, I’ve been blown away. After not visiting for far too long, I was there again today, and reminded how relaxing and helpful it is, an hour after my appointment and already I feel more relaxed and less pain points than I had when I walked in. I would recommend her to anyone! Her office, care and knowledge is fantastic! Thank-you Michelle!”Read moreShow less
