She is trained in both western biomedicine and traditional natural medical approaches, blending the best of both worlds. She is also a co-founder of the Westchester Center for Natural Health in Pleasantville, NY.

Dr. Lemke’s integrative approach is beneficial for a broad range of conditions within women’s health and pediatrics, from acute infections to chronic disease. She strives to treat the ‘whole’ person through developing individualized treatment plans using nutritional supplements, herbal medicines and lifestyle modification to support the body’s innate ability to heal. This individualized approach also includes Dr. Lemke’s extensive training and experience in the practice of classical homeopathy. Homeopathy is a powerful yet gentle system of medicine that is particularly beneficial for children with behavioral and developmental disorders, those who want to avoid, do not respond to, or have hypersensitivities to conventional medicines, and mental & emotional health concerns.

Director of The Breastfeeding Center
Michele’s practice as a registered nurse has evolved over 20+ years using relationship-based care to support mothers and babies.

Additionally, Michele’s interests are the growth and development of the newborn, how babies communicate and the parent-baby relationship. Michele’s philosophy is that patience, listening and observation are powerful tools to assist a mother in meeting her breastfeeding and parenting goals. She considers herself privileged to have the opportunity to support others in the parenting process.

Michele enjoys spending time with her family and watching her children grow, navigating motorcycle trips with her husband, relaxing with friends and piecing quilts.
