Michelle Zheng is a cross-cultural integrator and visionary healer, blending Eastern philosophy with Western clinical psychology to redefine how we understand health, beauty, and inner balance. Born in Beijing as a third-generation Korean-Chinese immigrant, Michelle comes from a family that rebuilt their lives with strength and dignity after war. Her great-grandfather was a respected traditional Chinese doctor, and her mother practiced Western medicine — a legacy that immersed Michelle early in the wisdom of integrated, whole-person care.

Trained in Chicago with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, she has over 7,000 hours of therapeutic experience, specializing in diagnostics, neuropsychology, and deep emotional work. After returning to China, Michelle opened her own private practice and founded Elive， a mind-body-spirit lifestyle brand combining organic nutrition, the Five Elements (五行) philosophy, and modern psychology. Her mission is not only to heal but to restore wholeness — reconnecting people with nature, themselves, and the ancient wisdom often forgotten in today’s fast world. Michelle stands at the intersection of science and soul, tradition and innovation, quietly leading a movement toward authentic, embodied living.
