Megan was raised with a deep appreciation for the natural world, and our plant and animal friends. Her mom is a wildlife rehabilitator, and her grandmother was a shamanic practitioner, Reiki Master, and healer. Her grandmother inspired her to study Reiki, which she did after graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Wildlife Ecology. Reiki was her first introduction to mindfulness and self-care.  Several years ago, Megan started attending local primitive skills gatherings – events where people share traditional skills to encourage self-reliance and stewardship of the land. After attending an herbal first aid class at one of these gatherings, she fell in love with the plants. Megan went on to study Clinical Herbalism with the Boston School of Herbal Studies. She is most interested in “backyard medicine”, working with the plants growing around her, living with the seasons, and fostering our own power to heal ourselves. Megan is continuing to learn and incorporate herbal medicine, Reiki, yoga, and more into her ever-evolving self-care routine.
