Hi, I’m Megan! 👋🏻
Dancer

Artist
Lover of humans.
Obsessed with the ritual of movement.
My Story
I’m obsessed with bodies in motion. Functional anatomy, strength training, nervous systems, self expression, poetry and ritual, and the evolution of humans.
I’ve been a dancer and an artist my whole life. I’m highly sensitive and empathetic. I’m opinionated and determined and find humor and sentimentality in most of life.
After a traumatic neck injury in high school resulted in debilitating chronic pain, Pilates offered me, and my body, back to myself.
Pilates taught me that painful movement and emotional patterns do not have to be stuck forever. They can be revealed, moved with, and transformed. What we can feel we can change.
Continuing to dance throughout that process taught me the vital impact of expressive, supportive patterns which can be shored up, amplified and encouraged.
I’ve stayed obsessed with this kind of movement and connection ever since. And since then I’ve supported 100s of people to build awareness, in their anatomy, their emotions, the context they live in, and how they want to move in this life.
Movement has always been the way. I have lived my adult life as an artist, rarely taking traditional paths, and built a life based on my instincts heart and soul.
I have 10s of thousands of hours experience teaching pilates, anatomy, and biomechanic movement. I’ve spent more than a decade in retreats and circles held by Woman Within International, and am now a Facilitator in Training for their programs. I’ve studied somatics, ritual, and myth, including experience with somatic experiencing, a graduate degree in Transformative Leadership with a minor in somatics, and a six month training in Embodied Ancestral Inquiry (somatic ancestral work for practitioners with white christian lineage), and an intensive week with Dr Clarissa Pinkolas Estes (author of Women Who Run with the Wolves),
I started Movement Connections in 2022 and have taught thousands of hours since then developing my method and connecting with amazing people! Maybe you are next?!
My Credentials
"When we are like the body, doing the work of new growth, wading through... just breathing or resting, we are very alive... if we could realize that the work is to keep doing the work, we would be much more fierce and much more peaceful"
-Dr Clarissa Pinkolas Estes, Women Who Run with the Wolves
