She helps her clients free themselves from past pain, hurts, heartaches and hang-ups so they can move forward in healed, healthier ways.  Megan acknowledges the many miracles she sees in her clients who commit to doing their work.

Megan meets clients where they are at with non-judgmental care and compassion.

Megan acknowledges that somatic (trauma) bodywork is integral to counselling therapy and psychotherapy.  “The conscious and subconscious issues of your life certainly present through physical symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depression.   Stressors surface if hurts, heartaches, hangups, and traumas are left untreated and unresolved over time.”  She treats the symptoms while getting to the root causes.  Relapsing back into old ways of coping and normal, however needs to be part of the change cycle.  Megan teaches relapse prevention skills to her clients;  most behavioural change has a triggering and relapse component in it.
