Medical Nursing Experience and Background

In 2001 Megan graduated as a Registered Nurse from the Otago Institute of Technology. After spending one year working in her hometown in Gore – Megan was off to Australia to work and study.

While in Australia, Megan gained extensive experience in the hospital setting something that has contributed largely to her capacity to work confidently in her own clinic. “I honestly think you need some training from main stream medicine, just to know what they do and what they use to treat people”.

Megan believes it’s important to have real experience and a deep understanding of how mainstream medicine works.

Megan worked across a range of health care settings in Australia including the outback of Queensland, the emergency room, post-natal depression unit, high dependency orthopaedic and neurology and in acute mental health units.

While working in Australia Megan suffered crippling chronic fatigue, “ I was sleeping up to 20 hours a day, I was waking up so tired I couldn’t drive , I was 42kg and I thought I was gonna die, yet western medicine had no answers. My blood tests were all normal and that was it”. This began Megan’s journey into Natural Medicine. “ I got a colonic and felt so much better, I seen a Naturopathic and started taking herbs and having protein drinks and I stared getting more energy and feeling better”. This lead Megan to signing up to study to be a Naturopath. “And here we are today”

“I myself suffered crippling chronic fatigue, I was 42kg and thought I was going to die and western medicine had no answers, this began my journey to becoming a Naturopath”
