DR. SHALINI BHAT founded The Movement Boutique (TMB) in 2010 after dealing with her own chronic health issues and hitting one dead end after another in the traditional system. She was dismissed, misdiagnosed and told to “just manage it.” Sound familiar?
This clinic is the one she wished existed when she needed it most; one that empowers people to stop outsourcing their health and start leading it. Nothing like it existed, so she built what was missing to help people look, feel and move better.
Her story is in our DNA; curious, relentless and focused on getting you results that you’ll be obsessed with. Her signature process is a way of life that you’ll fall in love with over and over again.
At TMB, we don’t guess or assume. We ask better questions, run smarter tests and build treatment plans that are based on you. Not trends. Not diets. Not what everybody else is doing in your life. YOU.
We work with people who are tired of being brushed off and told everything is “normal” even when they don’t feel right. If you’re ready to take your health seriously, show up and put in the work, we’re here to give you the care and support you deserve.
Our clinic was built from experience, not just textbooks…
There is no right way to start healing your body. Start working on your most pressing symptom and we’ll build a path forward with you.

FOUNDER
Dr. Bhat is a powerhouse in modern wellness; a Chiropractor and double-certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (IFMCP, CFMP) redefining what it means to feel good in your own body.
With over a decade of experience, she’s the founder of The Movement Boutique, creator of THE PERFECT FIIT workout, and the mind behind TMB FIIX, a breakthrough method blending fascia release, movement, and acupuncture for total-body recalibration.
Her approach to Functional Medicine is unapologetically real. She takes the science, strips away the jargon, and turns it into something you can actually use—because when you get the “why,” you can finally change the “how.”
Dr. Bhat’s philosophy was born from experience—personal injuries, gut-health battles, and the hard truth that conventional medicine doesn’t always have the answers. That’s why her work is designed for those who’ve been told they’re “fine,” but know they’re not.
In her private practice, she delivers personalized, results-driven roadmaps to optimize movement, hormones, and gut health, helping you move, feel and look your best.
She blends science, strategy, and a touch of biohacker magic, because she lives the lifestyle she teaches and bridges science and soul to help you unlock your body’s next level of wellness.

CHIROPRACTOR, ACUPUNCTURE PROVIDED & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE ASSOCIATE
Michelle is a chiropractor, acupuncture provider and functional medicine practitioner with a deep curiosity for how the body really works. She’s known for looking beyond the surface — connecting the dots between tension, stress, gut health and the way we move and feel every day.
Her sessions blend fascial release, acupuncture, mobilizations and chiropractic adjustments to create real, lasting change, not just short-term relief. In her functional medicine work, she focuses on the gut and its connection to the skin, mood and energy, helping patients uncover what’s actually driving their symptoms and giving them the tools to take control of their health.
When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her outside with her family, cooking or baking something new, strength training or diving into her latest read. Her goal is simple: to help people feel better, move better and truly thrive in their bodies.

TCM PRACTITIONER + TCM COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURIST
Lene is a Registered Acupuncturist, Reiki Master, Breathwork Facilitator and Cosmetic Acupuncturist with a BA in Psychology and Philosophy. Highly intuitive and firmly rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), she combines acupuncture, secondary modalities (moxibustion, Chinese massage, cupping, gua sha, breath, energy work), and mind-body techniques to help clients deepen healing, optimize health and cultivate resilience.
Her approach blends TCM principles with personalized, natural strategies, supporting fertility, maternal care, hormone balance, chronic conditions, burnout recovery, and cosmetic rejuvenation of face and body. She empowers clients to connect with their body’s innate wisdom, access their inner vitality, and shift patterns that block true healing.
Outside the clinic, she explores inner and outer worlds through meditation, travel, and guided journeying, enjoys time with her kitties Tiago and Lumi, and meticulously organizes her rock collection. For her, sauna is more than a ritual — it’s a spiritual practice of presence, grounding, and deep renewal. Lene brings both heart and expertise to every client experience, guiding them toward holistic, sustainable wellness.
