Testimonials

  • "I thought it was a good balance of teaching and doing. The breakouts were great and really let you dig into things with just a couple of people. The ah-ha moment was really the practice meditation - I was surprised by how effective it was, how deep I got lost in the moment and how I felt afterwards."

    -Dan Drucker

  • "Megan was fantastic! This mindfulness workshop aligns perfectly with some challenges we’ve been tackling at my place of employment. It was really insightful, and I appreciated the focus on mindfulness and grounding."

    -Torrance Dixon

  • "Megan's mindfulness workshop allowed my team to take a minute to fully process what it means to be in a fast-moving, non-profit work environment. We came away from the workshop with tangible, easy tools to combat burnout. I received very positive feedback from the team; it was their favorite part of the retreat! I appreciated Megan’s pace, her calm, cool, collected demeanor, and the way she brought together the room."

    -Katie Burke, Executive Director, Customized & Faculty-Led Programs at IES Abroad

  • "As a result of the workshop, I personally am conducting more deep breathing sessions when I receive that 'trigger' email and am giving people more grace and latitude. Megan was supportive, collaborative, empathetic, and knowledgeable throughout the process; you can tell she is skilled in delivering mindfulness content and is an expert in the field. Please consider Megan for your next team retreat; you won't regret it!"

    -Katie Burke, Executive Director, Customized & Faculty-Led Programs at IES Abroad

  • "I appreciated discovering that I wasn't the only one trying to be educated about this topic. It was helpful to see how others also struggle to be mindful or to meditate.  Once I understood how simple and quick we could begin to be more mindful it gave me an "ah-ha" moment because before I thought this was something that took days or longer to reach. Yet, even in the smallest moments in time we have opportunity."

    -Angel Ortiz

  • "Megan is an outstanding facilitator, mentor and coach. She is a uniquely graceful and powerful leader, with profound intelligence and integrity. Megan communicates in a warm and gentle style, with a sweet sense of humor that lightens our often challenging work. I highly recommend working with Megan. She is truly a gift."

    -Olivia Teter, Head of Innovation at Second Harvest of Silicon Valley

  • "My favorite part of Megan’s Mindfulness and Meditation Workshop was the guided meditation. The mindful stretching we did reminded me that listening to your body is more effective when you actually slow down and focus on it, even if you're not really sure how to do that."

    -Britt-Marie, Coach at Orange Theory Fitness

  • “Loved this session and would strongly recommend Megan to my friends at other organizations. I experienced strong burnout from 2020-2021 (with a different org), and a lot of what Megan shared really resonated with me. The session definitely made me want to research mindfulness and meditation so that I can learn techniques to incorporate into my personal life!”

  • “I am grateful to have attended a workshop led by Megan about the intersection of mindfulness and DEI. The somatic tools and techniques we discussed (and practiced!) have been helpful to me personally and I think are critical to preventing burnout and sustaining our commitment to radically transform ourselves and our society. I look forward to bringing these practices to my team and organization.”

    -Blair Janis

  • "Megan has a serene presence that made me feel comfortable, calm, and cared for. She is enthusiastic, compassionate, energetic, and her unrelenting kindness came through the screen so vividly."
