With beginnings in the late 1980’s in Feldenkrais and Meisner Technique, a Joffrey Ballet NYC student intensive, an Academy of Dramatic Arts NYC student alum, Second City Chicago student alum and Modern & Tap intensive at Columbia College Chicago, along with over 25 years in SAG/AFTRA, Dr. Mimi has somatics under her belt. She then decided to enter premed late in life and graduated over 40 as "Dr Michele Marano DN".

With soft tissue work, pain management and certification as a Death Doula, fifteen years later, Dr. Mimi is adding Subconscious Imprinting Technique to her list of offerings to her patients.

Years of somatic intensive study as a dancer coupled with clinical Neuromyology known as Swedish Naprapathy. Michele has been at the forefront of integrated medicine. A concentrated understanding of the body as a whole system lends itself to her belief that "Circling pain with emotion and emotion circling with pain" is a cycle that can be interrupted.

In recent years Michele has brought Naprapathy into the Equine world with multiple Olympic level equine clients and her own award winning horses. Her biggest pride rests in co-creating a space to house equine rehabilitation and human rehab concurrently. She also created a top level commercial equine feed.

Most recently, Michele has obtained The Subconscious Imprinting Technique Certification and the SOMA breath facilitator certification as it all compliments her ever changing work in the forefront of somatics. Her goal is to reach as many people on as many continents as she can with her SIT practitioner lifestyle.
