Meghan has such a great way with people. Going in for a treatment with her is such a gift. She creates such a safe and unconditionally loving space to be able to relax in, be vulnerable in and drop into. The treatments are gentle and effective. After I leave I feel renewed and restored. I highly recommend her!
