Hi There, I am 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.

What is the Safe and Sound Protocol?
The SSP is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music. As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to retune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration and resilience.
The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider in person or remotely. Suitable for children and adults, the SSP has demonstrated benefits for individuals with trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences and more.
The Full SSP consists of:
- A 5-hour auditory intervention developed and patented by Dr. Stephen Porges, author of the Polyvagal Theory.
- Designed to reduce sound sensitivity, and improve auditory processing and behavioral state regulation.
- Supports physiological state regulation, allowing for greater resilience.

Is SSP safe for everyone?
No, there are contraindications which include:
- Active or uncontrolled seizures
- Psychosis
- Tinnitus
- If you are extremely sensitive to sound, you may find SSP overwhelming. However, there may be ways to make SSP work for you – like starting with speakers at a super low volume. This will be determined in your first session with Megan.
- People with autoimmune conditions, neurological disorders, or complex chronic illnesses often have a more sensitive nervous system. While SSP holds great potential for relief, these cases require slow and careful pacing. These conditions may still benefit from SSP, but the program must be carefully monitored, and you should have your psychiatrist, mental health or medical provider assess your suitability before starting the program.
- If you are currently self-harming or having active suicidal thoughts, SSP isn’t recommended. But if you’ve had these experiences in the past and they’re under control, SSP might be a supportive option—In this case, Megan will require your primary care provider to approve your plan before beginning.
I am breast feeding, can I still order a HTMA?
- Yes, many breast feeding women are unknowingly minerally depleted so an HTMA test can be very helpful. You will receive recommendations for a customized mineral blend specifically for breast feeding. However you will be limited on what you can use when it comes to gut health. Megan does not recommend detox protocols while breastfeeding or pregnant.
Can I complete a HTMA test if I dye my hair?
- You will need to wait at least 4-6 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows.
How do I order my HTMA test?
- Once you enroll, you will receive intake paperwork + a health history for to complete. Once Megan receives your paperwork, your order will be placed for you.
How quickly do I receive my results?
- It takes about 1 week to get your test, and then 2-3 weeks for the results. Once Megan receives your results, she will have your results recorded + sent to you, along with your personal protocol + recommendations within 1 week.
How do I access my courses?
- Once you choose your Tier and enroll, you will receive an email in 1-2 business days with login information to Teachable and an invite to our exclusive community.
Do you accept insurance?
No, Megan does not accept insurance, but the lab company she partners with does often accept HSA/FSA.
