Meet Dr. Michelle MacCarthy
Chiropractor | NetworkSpinal Expert | EpiEnergetics Faculty
Dr. Michelle MacCarthy is a Doctor of Chiropractic based in Denver’s North Wash Park neighborhood with more than 16 years of practice and a patient community spanning hundreds of thousands of lives. As the owner of Wellness Rhythms, she has built one of Denver’s most distinctive practices, rooted in the belief that the body already knows how to heal and simply needs the right conditions to do so.
From Chronic Pain to a Career Built on Transformation
Dr. Michelle’s path into chiropractic was not chosen from a textbook. It was earned through her own experience.
Growing up in Washington State and competing as a Division I volleyball player at Eastern Washington University, she spent years pushing through chronic neck and back pain, arch pain, exercise-induced asthma, severe allergies, and recurring sinus infections. After graduating with a Business Administration degree in 2002, she began looking for real answers, not just symptom management.
She had visited multiple chiropractors since age 16, but it was discovering what is now called NetworkSpinal (formerly Network Spinal Analysis) that changed everything. Her chronic pain disappeared. The arch pain resolved. Allergies and recurring illness radically lessened. Her eyesight improved beyond 20/20, eliminating the need for reading glasses. Today, well into her 40s, Dr. Michelle reports feeling better physically, mentally, and energetically than she ever did in her early 20s.
A Level of Training Few Chiropractors in the World Can Match
Dr. Michelle is one of fewer than 150 female chiropractors worldwide to hold the highest level of certification in NetworkSpinal through the Association of Network Care. She has also completed the elite MasterE Practitioner Training Program, studying directly under NetworkSpinal’s creator, Dr. Donny Epstein, the same training that forms the clinical foundation of EpiEnergetics.
Developed by Dr. Epstein and praised by Tony Robbins, leading neuroscientists, and transformational leaders worldwide, EpiEnergetics is a framework that applies energy and information to help individuals unlock greater resourcefulness, healing, and human development.
It works from the understanding that the body, mind, and spirit self-organize naturally when given the right energetic conditions. Tony Robbins has called it “one of the most powerful sources of personal transformation I have experienced,” crediting the gentle, light-touch care with helping him overcome 14 years of chronic spinal pain.
For the past three years, Dr. Michelle has served on the EpiEnergetics Teaching Faculty, instructing chiropractors at professional seminars and working twice yearly at the Transformational Gate, an immersive event at the leading edge of nervous system healing and personal evolution. She also mentors chiropractors and their teams through Lifetime Wellness Practice, an internationally recognized coaching organization supporting doctors in building heart-centered, purpose-driven practices.
Additional Certifications
Dr. Michelle holds an Elite Practitioner certification in Cranial Facial Release, a specialized balloon-assisted technique performed by fewer than 300 doctors worldwide. CFR mobilizes the cranial bones and sutures of the head, addresses deviated septums and facial asymmetry, and opens restricted airways to support deeper breathing, reduced sinus infections, headache relief, and increased oxygen intake.
She also holds extensive postgraduate training through Apex Energetics, the Kharrazian Institute, and CellCore Biosciences in functional health and medicine. Her credentials include:
- NetworkSpinal Level III Certification
- MasterE Practitioner, EpiEnergetics
- Somato Respiratory Integration Practitioner
- Cranial Facial Release Elite Practitioner
- EpiEnergetics Teaching Faculty
- NET (Neuro Emotional Technique)
- Cranial Sacral Technique
Whole Person. Whole Life.
What sets Dr. Michelle apart is not any single credential. It is the way she integrates 16 years of clinical experience, elite postgraduate training, and her own profound personal transformation into care that meets each patient exactly where they are.
At Wellness Rhythms, she uses a gentle, no-crack approach anchored in NetworkSpinal and nervous system rehabilitation to help patients move beyond chronic pain, stress, and anxiety. Her adjustments are light-touch and precise, and her focus is always on sustainable, long-term change rather than short-term relief.
Patients across Denver and the surrounding communities of Aurora, Lakewood, Englewood, Arvada, Westminster, and Centennial have found in Dr. Michelle not just another chiropractic office, but a space and community that feels like home.
Outside the Office
When she is not adjusting spines, teaching at EpiEnergetics seminars, or mentoring fellow chiropractors, Dr. Michelle is a devoted wife and mother to her two young boys, two dogs, and a cat. She is passionate about yoga, Pilates, gardening, and all the outdoor adventures Colorado makes possible. Her commitment to movement, nature, and whole-person wellness is not something she prescribes to her patients. It is something she lives.
