second spring

For over 20 years, Meghan built a professional career in real estate, event planning, hospitality, and leadership, eventually landing in a C-suite position in the craft beer industry. After years of giving everything to her job, dealing with the death of multiple loved ones and the stresses of the pandemic, burnout finally caught up with her. ​While on sabbatical, Meghan earned her 200-hr yoga teacher certification in Bali. Through this transformative experience, she realized that her priorities were upside down. Instead of putting work first, she learned that it was finally time to prioritize herself.

​

During all of this, Meghan was experiencing many physical changes - insomnia, skin inflammation, increased PMS, migraines, as well as general anxiety. Following many misdiagnoses from medical professionals, she realized that she was experiencing perimenopause. And down the perimenopause rabbit hole she went! She quickly realized how much misinformation and confusion there is around this journey. At the same time, she was training for her coaching certification, and the idea was born of coaching folks through the menopause transition.

 

Though perimenopause still keeps her on her toes, Meghan has found great benefit in the modalities of coaching and yoga (in addition to a supportive OB-GYN). Learning techniques to calm the nervous system (breathwork, restorative yoga, & sound meditation), focusing on real self-care (setting boundaries), and letting go of ingrained beliefs, have empowered her to live her most authentic life, and share this knowledge with others struggling during their menopause journey.

 

In addition to her coaching and yoga certifications, Meghan holds a BA in Music and certifications in Gentle & Restorative Yoga, Menopause Yoga™, Yoga with Weights, and Menopause Coaching. She lives in Chicago with her husband and two cats. When not coaching or on the yoga mat, she can be found in her yard with her nose in a book.
