My Background

Hi! My name is Megan and I use she/her pronouns. My interest in the inner workings of the human body started in elementary school with a science project about the circulatory system and progressed through middle school when I would offer shoulder massages to my friends between classes. As a young adult I enrolled at Downeast School of Massage in Waldoboro, Maine; where I learned about muscle origins and insertions, the healing power of touch and the importance of self-care for a sustainable career.  Thus began my journey into the world of bodywork.  

​

As with most things in life I tend to move to the beat of my own drummer and I took a 15+ year hiatus from massage when I moved to Portland, Oregon. Though I was no longer providing bodywork, my curiosity about the interplay between the nervous system and the myofascial systems grew as I discovered the practice of yoga. Through skilled cuing and intentional suggestion, I discovered inner body awareness and developed my sense of interoception. Wanting to learn more and dive a little deeper, I completed a 200-hr yoga teacher training at Yoga Refuge in Portland, Oregon.

 

As my self-care toolbox grew, I became increasingly aware of a thread that was pulling me back to bodywork. Eventually I got licensed as a LMT in OR (#27818) and the desire to share the knowledge I’ve collected grew. Why keep these tools that can help people feel better in their bodies a secret? Most of us need more ease in our lives. I dreamed of starting a business where I helped people find ease in their body through movement education and hand's on work.

​

Though it has taken some time to convince myself that this dream of mine is in fact wildly possible. I find myself at that conclusion and I am beyond thrilled to be here.
