Megan is a Registered Herbalist (OHA) who grew up feeling most at home in nature and as a child could often be found using flowers and grasses to make magical ‘potions’. She worked for a number of years as a chef and her interest in food, especially wild foods, led her to studying the medicinal qualities of plants.
Along with her formal academic and clinical training consisting of over 2300 hours of study and practice, Megan has also completed hundreds of hours of apprenticeship in various settings including a herbal clinic, a contract manufacturing facility and an at risk plant sanctuary. Megan is an avid herb grower and spagyricist, and incorporates the principles of alchemy and medical astrology into her herbal work.
Megan runs a clinical practice and makes herbal products through her company, Wild Medicinals. For Megan, being able to support her friends, family and community’s health, as well as the health of the earth is as great a responsibility as it is a gift.
While choosing a favourite herb is impossible, Megan finds a way to work roses into just about everything she does.
When she’s not working with herbs, you may find her hiking with her dog, playing guitar in her band, reading, cooking or watching her favourite reality tv show, Below Deck. Megan is based in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough, Ontario, the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabeg.
