Megan spoke about growing up with grieving parents after the loss of two children before she was born. She worked hard to make people happy and developed disordered eating and exercise addiction. In 2019, everything collapsed for her. Meghan shares how her external success yet inner turmoil led to a deeper look within. A breathwork recording caused a traumatic panic attack, but with support she tried again which truly led to how she facilitates breathwork in a gentle, trauma-informed way. Megan creates community through retreats focused on embodiment, connection, play and joy. Her message is to lean into any part of the conversation that resonates. The key highlights were her normal childhood that led to different patterns of achievement and being okay on the outside, the unraveling of her unhealthy patterns, persisting with breathwork after a panic attack, and now facilitating with a trauma-informed approach focused on healing through community connection.
