Hello! My name is Megan….
My passion is helping people clear energetic blocks and step out of pain, stress and overwhelm. There are often energetic patterns running in the background that are keeping people stuck. During personal sessions, I blend multiple modalities - including Reiki, Sound Healing and Energy Healing - tailoring each experience to what will best serve the individual.
In addition to personal sessions, I provide Reiki training and attunements for people and animals. These can be life changing for people, providing a resource for healing, relaxation and greater inner clarity.

My Journey to Meditation and Reiki
My journey into stress reduction began during the pandemic, when I was feeling very burned out at work. My cousin introduced me to Yoga Nidra, a deep rest meditation practice. I took a class called ‘Daring to Rest’ by Karen Brody that changed my life. Through that experience, I realized I had never given myself permission to rest. Ruled by my to do list, I just kept going until I was too tired to do anything else.
Meditation became a regular part of my life - missing a day was not an option. Not only did it give me the rest my body so desperately needed, it freed my mind from the programming I grew up with. I realized I had been living my life to please others and not myself. This was the beginning of a huge transformation for me.
I quit a 25 year career in the legal field without a plan of what I would do next. Even though this went against everything I’d been taught, I just couldn’t show up in the way I wanted to at work. For the first time in my life, I had no plan, no goal, no direction. It was weirdly blissful, and yet, I knew I was not done contributing.
I began asking deeper questions about what I really wanted to do with my time. I took several classes exploring gardening, herbal medicine and eventually, Reiki, a Japanese stress reduction technique. I had heard of Reiki a decade prior, in a magazine I picked up at the grocery store. Back then, overwhelmed by work and parenting, I believed I had zero time for such things. I now realize this was part of my limited belief system, keeping me stuck on the hamster wheel.
When I received my first Reiki placement (a process where a teacher helps you receive the Reiki energy), I was blown away. Feeling the waves of beautiful energy in my body wasn’t consistent with anything I had learned in my more analytical, science based world view. How was this even possible?
I didn’t use it at first. There was a lot to digest from the training and I wasn’t sure where to start. A couple of weeks later a big snowstorm hit Salem. While walking my dog, I stepped on a ledge hidden by the snow and sprained my ankle. I’ve had a few of these events in my life and know it can take several weeks for a sprain to heal. Mine healed overnight with Reiki. I’m still in awe of that experience.
That was when things really started to shift for me. I immersed myself in Reiki classes and became a Reiki Master. I used Reiki on myself, my family, my friends, my dog - basically anyone who was receptive. It felt like magic to me, and I continue to allow it to show me how beautiful life can be.
Finally, I began inviting Reiki into my daily Yoga Nidra sessions. I’ve learned how easy it is to feel good when I make the space and allow it to come in. I feel so lucky to have discovered these tools that have opened my mind, allowed my body to heal and helped me become aligned with who I really am.
I am grateful to learn from my own experience and use the teaching skills I gained during my legal career to help others learn how to use Reiki to improve their lives and the lives of others.
