Whether your goal is nutrition, exercise, or feeling better in everyday life, I believe the best coaching approach is one that fits the person, not the other way around. My interest in coaching grew from my personal journey in fitness. I was introduced to nutrition as a way to support fitness goals and fell in love with learning how nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress can all be manipulated to optimize health and performance. This further sparked an interest in prevention and longevity. I believe taking action early and focusing on what you can control will give you more healthy, capable, and enjoyable years later in life.
As a Nutrition Coach, I love educating and getting to know the person behind the goal—their routines, challenges, motivations, and what life looks like. This helps us create a thoughtful plan that is relevant to them, rather than something that looks good on paper but doesn’t work in real life. I want people to understand why we’re starting with A to help them get to B, so each step has a purpose. As a DEXA Technician, I love using objective data to help people understand where they are starting and use it as a launchpad to streamline health behaviours and reach their goals.
Outside of work, I’m nerdy about learning a whole new skill set: being a mom. Returning from maternity leave has given me an even greater appreciation for how challenging—and rewarding—it can be to prioritize your health in real life. I’m incredibly grateful to have the role I do, both at work and at home.

“Working with Megan has really helped me stay on track and I have been doing my exercises for a several months now without fail! Megan has a unique approach and a bunch of “tools in her arsenal” that she pulls out to help engage me and keep me interested in my own progress, helping me remain motivated and accountable to myself. She also gave me space for the weeks I did 70% of the plan instead of a 100%, and taught me the importance of doing the smallest version of the plan to create the habit. I would recommend connecting with Megan if you are finding it hard to stick to your goals!”
