WHO I AM AND WHAT I DO

Before finding Eastern Medicine, Megan worked in Western Medicine & witnessed how most patients are offered pharmaceutical meds or surgeries. She knew in her heart that even though those were important options, there had to be more… a way to care for the person as a whole.

Megan obtained a certificate as an Energy Therapy Practitioner from Wellspring Allied Health in Kansas City. Then continued her education at Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder for Traditional Chinese Medicine, a program that taught how to offer patients well- rounded treatments with modalities of Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, moxibustion, guasha, cupping, auriculotherapy, e-stim, dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

 

She immersed herself in the medicine & completed its rigorous 4 year program of over 3000 hours of education, in just 3 years.  She graduated in 2010 with a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine. She passed the national board exams with NCCAOM, which includes Clean Needle Technique, is a member of the American Association of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, and is a Licensed Acupuncturist in Colorado. After graduation, Megan worked in the Kansas City area, specializing in prenatal, postnatal, and pediatric care. She soon decided to return to the mountains and the state she loves so much, Colorado.

 

Megan is thrilled to have her own clinic and has given over 14,000 treatments in the past 13 years! Megan has a gentle technique and enjoys treating a wide spectrum of issues from pain to anxiety. She specializes in MicroNeedling, a facial rejuvenation technique. A focus on aesthetics was not her original plan, but in these crazy times, she feels anything she can do to help people feel better about themselves is worthwhile. She has also completed extra training in Electric Acupuncture Medicine which is a ground-breaking version of Eastern Medicine that allows her to work on nearly any condition using a limited number of needles connected to specific electric frequencies. 
 

"My favorite thing to treat is STRESS because everyone is affected and it makes all other symptoms worse. Acupuncture is so amazing at calming the central nervous system, helping their bodies heal, their mind feel more relaxed, and they say they are better able to deal with the stressors of everyday life." 
 

She can be found at New Leaf on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and the Acupuncture Clinic of Fort Collins on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Her schedule revolves around her 3 beautiful children and 2 dogs. She believes they contain all the love and silliness that she wishes the whole world could feel.
