Megan experienced a profound healing change through Chinese medicine when, at 37 weeks pregnant, her baby turned breech and she was facing a C-section. She sought out a local practitioner for acupuncture and moxibustion and after only two treatments, her baby righted herself! Experiencing first hand the potency and effectiveness of this modality, Megan felt unequivocally drawn to study Acupuncture and to select Classical Chinese Medicine as the primary structure for her healing practice.

In 2010, Megan decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in Classical Chinese Medicine at Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts. Throughout her education, she continued to find a deep well of passion within to nurture health and wellness by integrating her knowledge of herbal medicine, Aromatherapy, and Chinese medicine.
