Michele Baker

Your Friendly Canadian

Michèle holds both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biology; as well as a doctorate in Basic Medical Science with a specialty in Physiology from the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama, prior to completing her post-doctoral research studies in Gastrointestinal Physiology at the University of Houston in Houston, Texas.

She taught undergraduate and master’s level courses in biology, nursing and nurse-anesthesia programs both at Houston Community College in Houston, Texas and the University of Alabama at Birmingham in Birmingham, Alabama.

Michèle then chose to work at home raising two wonderful children.

She joined our team at the opening of Crescent Grace, which she co-owns with Founder and Executive Director Holly-Renée Miller. Michèle not only greets every call Crescent Grace receives, she also handles the Crescent Grace business office logistics: patient insurance eligibility, insurance reimbursement, billing, personnel, human resources, payroll, and all other financial aspects.

Thankfully, beyond Michèle’s extensive education and deep compassion for those with eating disorders, she has a “never-ending curiosity” and masterful skill for organization and attention to detail. Her organizational proficiency excavated and preserved 200 years of history for both her and her husband’s families, making Michèle the family-appointed historian.

Michèle was a member of the Junior Canadian Ski Patrol when living in her native Canada. Michèle’s idea of a perfect Saturday is the opportunity to enjoy silent early mornings before her family awakes.
