About
Megan Tardif-Woolgar Medical Herbalist
Herbal Medicine is as old as medicine itself! Humans evolved with plants, so it is no wonder that certain plants perform medicinal actions within the body. Herbal medicine is both an ancient healing art and a scientifically researched healing modality. Although the individual plant chemicals have been scientifically proven to have specific actions on body systems, it is the thousands of plant chemicals working together that really lead to the magic of herbal medicine! A quarter of all the pharmaceuticals currently prescribed in the modern medicine world were originally derived from plants!
During each consultation the patient assessed and matched the herbs that will best help them on their path to healing. Herbs strengthen the body's ability to heal itself! Megan also works with herbs, nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle to bring the body back into a state of balance.
Herbal medicine treats the individual and not the condition, but individuals diagnosed with the following conditions can be assisted with herbal medicine. Some can be healed with herbs alone, others may require additional medical care
Practitioner Bio
Megan started her journey with a degree in Environmental Science from Dalhousie University. Although she is still very passionate about healing the planet, she feels that on the large scale this planetary healing cannot happen without individual changes in perception and well-being. Megan graduated from Pacific Rim College with her diploma of Phytotherapy (Herbal Medicine) in 2014. She has extensively studied and worked with over 150 different herbs, and has over 500 clinic hours of experience.
Megan is a registered herbalist with the American Herbalist's Guild (www.americanherbalistguild.com/), the Canadian Herbalists Association of British Columbia (http://www.chaofbc.ca/), and has been a board member of the Herbalist's Association of Nova Scotia since 2015 (http://herbalns.org/).
Megan has a special interest and experience treating digestive disorders and mental health issues (the two of which she believes are inherently interconnected). Megan is happiest helping facilitate the connection between the human and plant world for the purpose of healing the body, the mind and soul.
She can often be found in her herb garden with her hands in the dirt- planting, harvesting, or medicine-making. Megan believes that the key to creating resilient communities lies within the nurturing of both individuals and the planet. It is important for Megan to participate in the empowerment of both patients and the community, educating about herbal medicine so that individuals may foster their own healthy relationships with plants.
