Awakening hearts are saying. . .

“It had been a very full, fast day for me and I was looking forward to resting and returning "home" but wasn't sure how long my system would take to come back. As soon as I was on the call I just dropped right in, in a big way. I felt myself being pulled deeper and deeper into myself — I didn't want to move. At a point a thought came, "am I sleeping?" 🙂 Then, Ahhhh no, the meeting place. So good.”

Ann Priest, DO

Osteopathic Physician

“When class started I was tired and achy and it was really hard to pay attention. So I just rested. About a half hour in, as I listened out of the corner of my ear, my energy came back and I had no pain. This was really amazing, since I wasn’t trying to do anything. I felt good til then next day when I slowly started to ache again. I understand it takes time to "train our nervous system to hold coherence.” I’m really looking forward to the next class and I’m so glad we have many weekly sessions to go.”

“This course is highly worthwhile . . . very useful teachings to work within ourselves, integrate and then offer to patients. A very good use of time.”

Eliott Blackman, DO

Osteopathic Physician affiliate of California Pacific Medical Center and Sonoma Valley Hospital

“I felt I got a kind of a purification of all the years of dealing with traditional Western Medicine. Being a part of this group was like entering one vast healing ocean. Here's what happened for me. I started with a huge amount of tension across my back. Went into awareness with my sitting, then my breathing, then feet, then my hydration… by the end of this session my right shoulder had completely released (and that's my bad one), my breathing had deepened across my back, and a tremor in my right hand disappeared. Lovely work. A seminar in authentic being... a beautiful experience of healing/entrainment, and we're just getting started.”

Valerie Andrews

Author and Filmmaker

“I woke up in the morning with a headache and very low energy. Michelle started class with a body scan, directing us to open our attention to our back body, which we generally ignore. I imagined through her direction that I could feel and see behind me, extending my energy into the space behind my body. Suddenly I started having wave like energy moving up and down my spine. My headache immediately went away. My ankles start rotating spontaneously and then my wrists. My hips, which are usually very tight, opened up and I was able to move fluidly in my whole body. It was a dramatic visceral experience in self osteopathy. I am so grateful for Michelle holding the energy and giving the guidance which facilitated this learning. She is a true master in her work!”

Stacia Kenet, MD

“When I came home from our first class which I did from my exam room, because it was such a busy week, I was more relaxed and smiling, it was noticeable. My family asked why and I said that I stopped, breathed and felt my surfaces, and it completely brought me to a better state of mind. My daughter who went to Johns Hopkins also loves hearing anything interesting about her school, and she was way into the heart beat at 22ft.”

J. Kevin Beckman, DO

Osteopathic Physician

"This training is SO fun, so nourishing, and such a great service to the world. I participated in her last one. It was life-changing."

Dr. Monica Rogalsky

Doctor of Osteopathy

“Dr. Veneziano is transforming the patient-doctor relationship. She brings us innovative approaches to medical education and healing, and is catalytic in helping us reconnect to our Health and Joy within.”

Dawn Cieplensky, DO

Assistant Professor, New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, NYIT

"A note of 🎶 gratitude for you. My body especially responded to your call for self-love and holding devotional space. My heart felt larger, and my breathing/diaphragm more free. Bless you."

Dr. Melissa Pearce

Doctor of Osteopathy

“Michelle is a formidable force for tremendous good in the osteopathic profession, and in the world.”

James Jealous, DO

Osteopathic Physician, founder and director of the Biodynamics of Osteopathy

"You are truly giving us all the tools we need for self-regulation and self-healing. I can't express my gratitude enough — your book will be a godsend, but your presence is an infusion of sheer joy."

Valerie Andrews

Author & Filmmaker

“After Dr. Veneziano walked our class through a 5-minute exercise to get into the Flow State, I suddenly felt as if I had just come out of an extraordinarily healing, hour-long osteopathic treatment. My body and mind felt great—balanced, energized, free of aches and pain. Dr. Veneziano’s vast experience and deep wisdom—and her ability to communicate this so succinctly—will gift a transformative power to anyone who experiences her teachings. She is teaching us how to be our own osteopaths! And in so doing, she is providing us with the toolkit to heal ourselves in every way imaginable.”

Get into Flow!

Let’s join together on the path to embodiment, wellness, and a joyful celebration of Health.

We'd love you to join us as we collectively return to radiant vitality — all while expanding our capacity to support patients, and provide meaningful service in the world in ways that nourish US.

The course is largely experiential and it is also a gentle academic dive into the scientific and physiologic fundamentals of balancing the neuroendocrine and musculoskeletal systems.

When you join the Flow is Medicine healing and learning space, you will be granted access to a library of recorded gatherings in which academic topics are explored at the tempo of our bodies.

We learn most powerfully through our bodies! Our bodies guide our minds, as nature intended.

Each week we join in a guided group healing experience Live on Zoom. In these deeply treasured and powerful gatherings, we explore our evolving gifts skills, experience shifts in energy and body patterns, and speak to what arises.

The majority of this course is self paced. Live "Healing Practice Lab" gatherings on Saturdays at 11am pacific are optional. Replays are provided.

The format of this program is a powerful and refreshing way to learn, heal, and embody the principles of osteopathic medicine.

I receive so much from these gatherings. Saturday is my BEST day of the week, and I really notice the difference on the rare occasions that we skip a week!

Recordings of all live gatherings are shared each week, and you will always have them.

Many people in our community share that they receive powerful healing from replays alone..

Together, we harness the power of coherence, resonance, and community to strengthen our physiology and expand our capacity to serve in the world in a way that nourishes us.

What is genuinely special about this experience?

Together, we will . . .

Harness the power of resonant connection to strengthen your physiology
Heal and learn simultaneously, as nature intended
Tone and strengthen your body with ease and enjoyment
Build coherence in each moment, even during slides & academic topics
Build “fitness" for remaining coherent and connected to your heart
Rekindle the skill of tracking subtle changes in your body and in shared space
Strengthen your nervous system and expand your capacity to serve in balance

Osteopathy and nature have shown me that caring for ourselves is as simple and pleasurable as returning to natural ways of being, and that we’re already experts.

In this space, we are supported as we expand our well-being, amplify our power, and create more joy and fulfillment in our lives and in our work.

Through aligning with nature and the principles of osteopathy, I have healed multiple physical and emotional injuries and recovered from chronic fatigue and food and chemical sensitivities. I have also rediscovered passion and purpose.

You’re invited to join me for a deep, pleasurable dive into the foundational principles of osteopathic medicine. Together we harness the power of coherence, resonance, and community to strengthen our physiology and expand our capacity so that we may serve from a highly resourced place.

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

Dr. Michelle Veneziano

I'm a family physician, intuitive, and an adjunct clinical professor at Touro University in Northern California.

My approach to osteopathic medicine is rooted in Cranial Osteopathy, a hands-on, evidence-based therapeutic practice that sources both western & eastern philosophies to support the body’s ability to heal itself.

I share practices and insights for awakening the healer that resides within each of us, for connecting with who we really are, and for living in alignment with nature.

Join Dr. Michelle Veneziano
