Hi, my name is Megan
Have you ever felt lost in your health journey, unsure where to begin? I've been there too.
Throughout my journey of overcoming complex trauma, IBS, breast cancer, severe insomnia, complex grief, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, anxiety, depression, and weight loss resistance, I've developed a deep empathy for my clients. I know what it's like to feel lost and defeated.
This frustration propelled me into the functional health space, where I learned how to reverse many of my symptoms and optimize my overall health. This eventually led me to open my own consulting practice, where I now help women find solutions to their health problems.
When I got into the Functional Health space, I felt like I was drowning in the amount of recommended supplements, protocols and conflicting advice. I was also sad to see that many Practitioners were not aligned with a biblical world view. As I began working with women 1:1 my practice quickly grew by word of mouth, I became fully booked every month, and my waiting list grew. This was when I realized I needed to increase my capacity to help more women.
This is why, in addition to working with women one on one, I decided to start a Functional Health Collective Membership, where I can offer you support, while also connecting you with other holistically minded Christian women, and provide resources that have been thoroughly researched. It is something I wish I had when I was first beginning my journey.
I believe I bring a unique perspective because of my background, experience, + training.
I have over 10 years of education including a Masters Degree in Nursing, 10 years of clinical experience, and multiple certifications including:
Board Certified Family Practice Nurse Practitioner (no longer practicing through this lens).
Registered Nurse (no longer practicing through this lens).
Masters Degree in Nursing.
Former Nephrology NP.
Former Cardiology + PCU Registered Staff Nurse.
AFMC Level 2 Functional Medicine Practitioner.
Functional Nutrition Institute graduate.
Certified Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Provider
Certified Christian Mental Health Coach.
HTMA trained + Certified.
Polyvagal + Trauma Informed Practitioner.
Brainspotting Trained Practitioner.
Trained in Clinical Somatics.
Certified in Fascial Fitness.
After working as a full time Nurse Practitioner and registered nurse, I began seeing a flaw in our medical system.
The patient load is heavy, and the time we can spend with our patients is limited. Care is often based on symptom based management with no holistic focus. As a result, many illnesses and disease processes are overlooked or soothed with a quick fix. Patients feel unseen, hopeless, neglected, and are given pills for their symptoms that sometimes lead to long term negative effects.
I left conventional medicine behind and established a Functional Medicine Consulting practice where I have sufficient time to spend listening to my client’s concerns, take a deep dive look into the potential root causes of their illnesses, empower them with the education they need to take care of their unique body, and offer an empathetic, listening ear along the way. I would love to support you on your unique journey. I offer 1:1 support or you can connect with me inside our monthly membership!

My Belief and Approach:
We repeat what we don’t repair. This is how pain patterns get passed down generation to generation. The best thing I ever did in terms of healing, was choose to break the chain and pursue healing. To dig deep into what it means to feel the pain both physically and spiritually and heal through it. It wasn’t until I quit putting bandaids over my wounds that I finally found freedom and broke free from the cycle.
My personal healing consisted in many layers, but can I tell you a secret? The first and strongest key component in my journey was: choosing to obey the gospel and allowing Christ to get to work on my dark, hidden, stagnant places. Once I repented and was baptized into Christ and came up out of that water, and continued immersing myself in Scripture, my entire life began to change. His Word and His people have been the best balm from my broken past and weary soul, and His Spirit has been the catalyst for continued, daily (and messy) growth, healing, and transformation.
The truth is, I can teach you all the nervous system hacks in the world. I can help you heal your gut, and balance your hormones. But without Jesus and the true form of repair He provides - Salvation - the healing is done in vain. He is the One that is able to bring peace to your past, regulation to your system, ground you with purpose in your present, and anchor you with hope for your future.
Instead of a broken path, you’ll become a bridge to safety. You’ll choose to meet anger with sympathy, contempt with compassion, cruelty with kindness and begin greeting grimaces with a smile because you’ll know rudeness tends to stem from an unhealed place. A Christian on a life long path towards healing, who invites Christ in to their journey and allows their new life in Him to be the catalyst, heals differently because their source of Strength never grows weak and their cup never runs dry.
As a Christian Functional Medicine Practitioner, I have learned that the greatest tool to healing and to living an abundant life is beginning with a solid foundation: our connection with God through Jesus Christ. As a result, the program and individual sessions I lead flow from a Biblical perspective and Christian worldview. I believe this is the best way to empower my clients to be good stewards of the unique God given body they have been given. From there, we work our way up to mineral repletion & circadian rhythm, to gut health, to detox systems, to hormones, which results in optimal health!
