Michele began her studies of the fascial system in 2011 and is a member of the Fascia Research Society. She simultaneously pursued a master's degree in Kinesiology while avidly reading books and journal articles and attending workshops. In 2013, she attended an unembalmed cadaver exploration of the fascial system with Tom Myers (Anatomy Trains book), created a fascial system exercise class for clients, and attended the 2015 Fascia Research conference. At this time, she secured the mentorship of two prominent researchers for her master's thesis - Dr. Carla Stecco and Dr. Peter Huijing. She performed original research in this field, and it was accepted for a poster presentation at the Berlin Fascia Research Congress in 2018. This research has now been published - International Journal of Exercise Science 12(1): 825-838, 2019. Michele authored an inaugural chapter in a second edition of the Fascia Textbook, "Fascia: The Tensional Network of the Human Body," 2022.
