Michelle Waters, FNP-C, Co-Founder
Michelle Waters, FNP-C, is the Co-Founder, Medical Director, and Clinical Leader of Chélle Health & Med Spa. With nearly three decades of patient care experience, Michelle has dedicated her career to helping patients achieve optimal health through a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that addresses the root causes of disease rather than simply managing symptoms.
Before founding Chélle, Michelle spent more than 26 years with Intermountain Healthcare, caring for patients across labor and delivery, medical-surgical, emergency medicine, primary care, and internal medicine settings. This diverse clinical background provides her with a uniquely broad perspective on health, allowing her to evaluate the complex interactions between hormones, metabolism, nutrition, lifestyle, and chronic disease.
Recognizing that many patients were being told their laboratory results were “normal” despite experiencing fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, low libido, poor sleep, and other symptoms, Michelle pursued advanced training in hormone optimization, longevity medicine, metabolic health, and preventative care. She has invested extensively in continuing education with many of the nation’s leading experts and remains committed to staying at the forefront of emerging therapies, evidence-based treatments, and innovations that can meaningfully improve patient outcomes.
Today, Michelle has become one of Utah’s most sought-after providers for hormone optimization, helping men and women from across the state regain energy, vitality, cognitive performance, healthy body composition, and overall quality of life through individualized, evidence-based treatment plans.
Michelle is known for combining the science of medicine with a highly personalized approach to care. Her treatment philosophy focuses on identifying underlying causes, optimizing health naturally whenever possible, minimizing unnecessary medications, and helping patients achieve measurable improvements in how they look, feel, and function.
As Medical Director, Michelle has built a culture of clinical excellence at Chélle. She works closely with the practice’s providers to share her knowledge, treatment philosophies, and commitment to exceptional patient care. Through ongoing collaboration, training, mentorship, and case review, she helps ensure that patients throughout the practice benefit from the same high standards, attention to detail, and patient-centered approach that have become the foundation of Chélle’s reputation.
When she is not caring for patients, Michelle can often be found studying the latest medical research, evaluating emerging treatment options, exercising, or spending time with her family. A strong believer in the power of fitness and strength training, she practices the same principles of health optimization that she encourages in her patients every day.
