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 the feel for somatics under her belt.

Deciding to enter premed late in life and graduating over 40 as "Dr Michele Marano DN", gave her the edge to facilitate her practice. Working with a renowned Neurosurgeon and taking his referrals for soft tissue work and chronic pain management became the playground for patient care and study. Fifteen years later, Dr. Mimi is adding Subconscious Imprinting Technique to her list of offerings to her patients, as well as Death Doula training.

Dr Mimi considers herself as having 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 Dr. Mimi 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 in one space, helping rider and horse simultaneously.

Recently retiring from full time Naprapathy, Dr. Mimi has obtained The Subconscious Imprinting Technique Certification. It compliments her ever changing work on the forefront of her own somatic journey as she invites you to come along.
