My Holistic Healing Journey

From Scattered to Whole

Since I was young, I always wanted to help people. There was this deep yearning within me that I couldn’t fully name.

When I got to university, I couldn’t decide whether to focus on humans or animals, so I did both – psychology and zoology. But after years of studies, this dream felt scattered in so many ways.  I felt like something crucial was missing. I deeply craved something but wasn’t sure what it was.

The Community That Changed Everything

I felt called to find out what, so I took a few months off, not sure where this journey would take me. In true free-spirited hippie style, I ended up in a community that would completely transform everything.

These people lived completely off the land – growing their own fruits and vegetables, living simply, connected to something deeper than I’d ever experienced. Watching them changed everything. They weren’t just healthy – they were glowing. Their faces radiated joy and peace in a way that made me question everything I thought I understood about wellness. And suddenly, everything I’d been searching for became clear. All those scattered years of study, that deep yearning I couldn’t name – THIS was it. This radiant wellness was what I wanted to help people find.

Was this not a vital part of health that was missing in traditional studies? They glowed with a vitality that went beyond anything my textbooks had ever described, and I knew I had to understand what created this extraordinary aliveness.

Science Backs This Up

Years later, I discovered that what I witnessed wasn’t unique to that one community. Researchers studying “Blue Zones” – regions where people live exceptionally long lives – found that only 20% of longevity comes from genetics, while 80% comes from lifestyle. These communities share common factors: plant-based diets, strong social connections, regular physical activity, and low stress. What I experienced in that transformative community was a living example of what Blue Zones research shows creates not just longer life, but radiant vitality.

This holistic approach to wellness—combining physical health, emotional balance, spiritual connection, and community—became the foundation for everything I would later develop. It showed me that true healing requires addressing all layers of our being simultaneously.

Building My Holistic Healing Toolkit: From Naturopathy to Energy Work

That experience changed everything. I dove into naturopathy with a deep sense of rightnes I’d never felt before – nutrition, flower remedies, herbalism, iridology, acupressure and color therapy. Each modality was like finding another piece of a puzzle I didn’t even know existed and left me in awe.  Flower remedies revealed how plants could speak to emotional wounds. Herbalism taught me that nature held healing, natural and perfect.
Now when I started working as a nutritionist, I had tools to share. I could see layers of healing that traditional approaches missed entirely. My work at the detox and wellness center was going well – clients were transforming in ways that amazed even me.
But I could feel the next level calling.

The Missing Pieces: Integrating Energy Healing with Traditional Wellness

Supporting the mind and body through naturopathy and psychology was powerful, but I could see what was still being left behind.. The soul part of holistic. The energy. The deep emotional patterns stored in tissues. The spiritual disconnection that kept people from their full vitality.

And, like my free-spirited hippie trip, my next level found me: a year’s course in energy work. Studying chakras, crystals, reiki and so much more. From there, I kept going deeper, each new modality revealing another layer of what true healing could look like.

Now, I had a bunch of very disconnected modalities. I wanted more than just a collection of techniques. I wanted a way to bring all of these philosophies and beliefs together – an integrated system that could address every aspect of what it means to be human and achieve a deep sense of aliveness.

When Spirit Stepped In: Channeling Body Conscious Healing

That’s when something extraordinary happened. Body Conscious Healing came through me – not as something I developed, but as a gift that arrived fully formed.

Suddenly, everything I had learned made sense. My psychology background, naturopathy, energy work, even zoology – it all wove together into one powerful modality that felt both ancient and completely new.

This wasn’t just another technique. It was channeled through spirit guidance as a complete system to assess where blocks lived in the body and provide healing remedies tailored to each person’s unique needs. Over 25 different healing modalities integrated seamlessly, creating something I could never have designed with my mind alone.

For the first time, I had what I’d been searching for: a complete approach that honored the body’s innate wisdom while healing mind, emotions, energy, and spirit simultaneously. Plant-based nutrition danced with plant energetics. Color therapy merged with energy healing. Emotional release work flowed into mindset transformation.

And beautifully, it worked for both humans and animals – the two paths I’d never been able to choose between finally united.

Real Results: How Integrated Holistic Healing Transforms Mind, Body & Spirit

Now when I work with clients, I’m not just addressing their symptoms. I’m reading their energetic blueprint, seeing where emotions are stored in their tissues, understanding what their body has been trying to communicate, and addressing imbalances across every level of their being.

The results speak for themselves. Clients who had plateaued with every other approach – including nutrition alone – experience breakthrough healing when we address all layers simultaneously.

They don’t just get better. They feel it: mind, body and soul.

Just like those people in that community who showed me what true health really looks like.

This is Body Conscious Healing – the complete system I was meant to channel, bringing together everything I’d learned into one transformative approach that finally addresses what it really means to be vibrantly, luminously healthy.

And now I get to share this integrated approach with others who are on their own journey toward wholeness.

I know that feeling of trying every healing path and still feeling scattered. What if all those pieces could finally come together into one integrated approach that honors your whole self? That’s what I created this work for.

Hi I am Megan. I’m an empath from South Africa. I found my path as a healer in my 20s—not because I had it figured out, but because I knew deep in my soul I was meant to heal others.

For 15 years, I’ve walked this path—not because it was easy, but because it’s my soul’s calling.

I know what it’s like to absorb everyone’s emotions, to feel too much, to wonder if being this sensitive means something is wrong with you.

Here’s what I discovered: Your empathy isn’t the problem—it’s that nobody taught you how to work WITH your sensitive system instead of against it.

Now I help empaths transform through the trinity of mind, body, and soul healing—because surface fixes don’t work when you feel everything at a cellular level.

This is my life’s work. Empath to empath. Heart to heart.
