About Dr. Strachan and her work
Michele Denize Strachan MD, often called Dr Semerit by her
community, has been shaped by a deep desire to
create a space for the human spirit in medicine. Her training spans: Mt Sinai
School of Medicine, Boston City Hospital, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center
and the University of Minnesota.
Twelve years ago, seeking to redress the alienation she experienced in clinical settings, she embarked on a journey to reconnect to her roots. The elders gave her the name Semerit to guide her way to ancestral healing wisdom. She serves as the Director of Medicine for the Cultural Wellness Center in South Minneapolis. She has also been involved in the Justin Kukowski Center for Physical and Spiritual Healing in Chaska, serving as the Director of Spiritual Care and the Medical Director Combining her personal, cultural, teaching, and clinical practices, Dr. Strachan has developed ASK DR STRACHAN, a coaching and teaching system, where adults and children can ask their questions, explore how the body/brain really functions, and be guided through the maze of health solutions in a truly integrative medicine way. Through this work, people are then reconnected to how to make decisions that truly support their gift and the gift of their being. She also maintains a practice as a part of the clinical faculty of the Behavioral Pediatrics program at the University of Minnesota.
