About Megan
My path to becoming a Naturopath has been a profound journey of healing and transformation. As a Registered Nurse, I gained extensive experience in the Western medical system, working across various healthcare settings in Australia, including emergency rooms, post-natal depression units, and acute mental health units. However, it was my own battle with crippling chronic fatigue that opened my eyes to the limitations of conventional medicine and ignited my passion for natural healing.
Confronting the Limitations of Western Medicine
At my lowest point, I was sleeping up to 20 hours a day, waking up so exhausted that I couldn't even drive. I had dropped to a mere 42kg, and I genuinely thought I was going to die. Yet, despite my dire condition, Western medicine had no answers. My blood tests were all normal, and that was it.
It was a frustrating and disheartening experience that left me feeling hopeless.
It was then that I embarked on a journey into the world of Natural Medicine. A simple colonic treatment provided me with immediate relief, and I began working with a Naturopath, taking herbs and protein drinks. Slowly but surely, I regained my energy and started feeling better. This profound experience inspired me to pursue a career in Naturopathy, and I enrolled at the Australian Institute of Applied Science, where I obtained an Advanced Diploma in Health Science with a Major in Naturopathy
Today, I work from my home in the beautiful Pegasus Bay in North Canterbury, New Zealand, creating individualised treatment plans for people based on their unique needs. I specialise in female hormone disorders such as endometriosis, menopause, and PCOS, as well as fertility, depression, anxiety, and disorders of the nervous system. My approach is holistic, addressing the root causes of imbalances rather than merely treating symptoms.
One of my core beliefs is that Natural Medicine is not "hocus pocus" but rather a scientifically backed and research-driven approach to healing. My background in Western Medicine has given me a deep understanding of how mainstream medicine works, and I believe it's essential to have real-world experience in both realms. This allows me to bridge the gap between conventional and natural healing modalities, providing my clients with a comprehensive and integrative approach to their well-being.
My journey is fueled by a constant thirst for knowledge and inspiration from various sources. I draw wisdom from the teachings of Dr. Caroline Myss, Donna Eden's Eden Method, Louise L. Hay, Kim Russo, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Sebi, Sadhguru, Osho, Anodea Judith, and Dr. David Sinclair, among others. Their insights and perspectives continue to shape my understanding of the intricate connections between the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health.
As a Naturopath, my mission is to empower individuals to take control of their well-being and to guide them on a path of healing and transformation. I believe that by addressing the emotional patterns underlying physical ailments and symptoms, we can unlock the body's innate ability to heal itself.
Join me on this journey, and let's explore the boundless potential of natural healing together.
