About Megan

Megan (pronounced Meegan) has been a licensed massage therapist since 2001. She has a deep love of learning and continually seeks new bodywork skills to enhance her practice and better serve her clients. No two people meet twice in the same space and time; therefore, each session is unique and guided by the client's specific needs on any given day. Megan blends her experience with Swedish, Deep Tissue, Fascial Release, Sports Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Reiki, and Medi-Cupping to create a customized treatment for each client. She strongly believes that the body wants to heal and function to the best of its ability, and her job is to help remove obstacles when possible and support the "inner physician".

Megan has been practicing Craniosacral Therapy (CST) for several years, which is an excellent choice for you if you enjoy gentle, relaxing bodywork. CST is known to enhance and strengthen the body's ability to heal itself and maintain wellness. Megan recently trained in Visceral Manipulation (VM), which is another form of subtle bodywork that focuses on the internal organs' (visceral) patterns of movement within the abdominal cavity in relation to their natural attachments and other tissues, organs, and systems within the body. This technique is gentle and nurturing and aims to support gentle releases of restrictive patterns, and more importantly, improve communication between the tissues, organs, and the proprioceptive centers in the brain, thus encouraging the body's self-correcting mechanisms.

The goal is to encourage little changes that lead to better internal communication so the body can restore itself, find more ease, and greater function. Megan is also a graduate of the Bold Coast Yoga School yoga teacher training (RYT-200) in 2017 and advanced yoga teacher training (RYT-500) in 2020. She brings her love and appreciation of the human body into her movement classes and private sessions, which focus on interoception, safety, and alignment. Her goal is to support students having deeper appreciation, fun, and greater awareness as they explore their bodies through movement, mindfulness, and breath.
