Then you will leave feeling calm and refreshed. As my clients return over and over again I see their medical and health issues begin to resolve and eventually even disappear.

Medical Herbalist/Phyto Therapy

Herbs bring people together in such beautiful ways! Two years after graduating, I joined the staff as a dispensary supervisor. The following year, I became a faculty member at Pacific Rim College; teaching observation, supervised & independent clinic, Professional Writing Development, and Materia Medica of Mushrooms. It's an amazing place to work and an honor to work along side such talented healers and teachers. In 2015, I opened Woodward Phytotherapy- a small clinic located on the peninsula nestled between the ocean and the rain forest in beautiful Brentwood Bay. The office is a separate building on our property, created specifically for my herbal medicine practice, with easy access via the side-driveway. Herbal medicine calls its practitioners with a request: to heal oneself. In healing ourselves we discover the process and nuances of healing. This process helps us develop our intuitive senses and personal body/sense awareness. Then, as we move out into the world to heal others, there is a sense that our learning is ever present and our work is always evolving. We are healers, we are teachers, we are advocates for health. This is my path and I’m very excited to share my knowledge and understanding with my patients.

Reflexology Hand Reflexology Aromatherapy

Reflexology is the scientific study of the reflexes and the application of expertly applied pressure through massage and acupressure techniques. These techniques work the reflexes in such a way so as to relax the body in order to improve circulation, and nerve impulses and allow the body to return to a state of optimal balance -homeostasis- to heal itself in the process, and learn to better adapt to stress.

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

TMJ Correction

We activate programs in the "JUNK DNA" to accelerate the healing and repair process. Watch cartilage regrow before your eyes. I developed a cutting edge technique for rapidly repairing ligaments tendons, and cartilage issues in joints, without the need for any invasive surgeries or dental appliances. Most conditions can be fixed in three sessions. TMJ disorders can cause many body JOINTS to become inflamed and painful. Unfortunately many health care practitioners miss the TMJ connection as the source of the pain. Pains and aggravations are eliminated once the disorder is fixed. Fixing the clients TMJ "CORRECTLY" will ALLEVIATE a host of other misalignments, body balance, and pain issues they are having. What you will feel after the Session FIRST THING - a miraculous ability to move the affected joint more freely. Many people have the experience of desiring rest after a session. One of my clients had an extraordinary experience. After arriving home from his first session, he was out for 24 hours, which was a welcome experience to him. Because of a neck pain disorder, he had not been able to go to sleep without drugs for over 6 years. So let yourself embrace this part of the shifting process. It is a very important part. The body requires quality down time for repairing itself.
