About Holistic Health Mentor

---

My name is Meghan and I am the owner of Holistic Health Mentor.

As a certified yoga therapist it is my job to guide my clients on their path to being the best version of themselves. 

Are you ready to start a journey of self-improvement, but are overwhelmed by all of the options? 

The unfortunate reality is that the 'alternative' field of well-being can sometimes feel saturated and overwhelming to navigate.

As the alternative field is unregulated, you might have had the experience of encountering:

• Companies that offer you a 'quick fix solution' and leave you feeling like you failed, when the 'quick fix' doesn't work.
• People who tell you they can 'cure' your issues, but only if you completely believe in them.
• Life coaches who completed a short online course and have no idea how to support you.
• Companies who practice deceptive selling practices, with 'one-time-offers' right at the checkout, not giving you the time to make an educated decision on your purchases.
• Alternative health practitioners who are so anti-western medicine that they encourage you to stop treatments set up by your medical practitioner. 
• Practitioners that keep you with them forever, and ever, and ever....

Over the years I have encountered these people and companies and it can be pretty demoralizing.  

The holistic wellness industry has so many wonderful tools that can be used by people in harmony with western medicine. Some of these 'tools' work better for some, and not others.  People have different lived experiences, different health conditions and need to be supported in the ways that suite them best, as an individual.

How am I different?  

• INDIVIDUALIZED.  Your plan is designed to help you to attain your goals in an achievable and systematic way based on what you tell me. 
• REALISTIC. I am not a miracle worker, I can't 'cure' you, but I can share tools with you to help better manage the issues that you are dealing with.  Sometimes that means giving a client an unwanted reality check.
• ADAPTABLE.  If the plan isn't working for you, we change it together, to find something that works better. It can take 5 to 10 sessions to find the right fit. You need to experience and live the plan first in order to know if it will work.
• FACT CHECKING.  I encourage my clients to research and challenge the information and tools that I share with them.  I don't know everything, and new studies are coming out all the time.  
• EDUCATION. I have 1500 plus hours of completed education, and ten plus years of experience in alternative health modalities. Why did I say completed education, because I am a continuous learner and always upgrading my trainings.
• HONESTY. There are no surprise costs, I let you know my pricing upfront, so that you can have the time to reflect and decide if my services are right for you at this moment.
• HONESTY.  Yes, it's here twice, I will let you know after your FREE 15 minute online consultation if I think that my services are right for you.  If I don't believe that we are the right fit, I will let you know.
• COLLABORATIVE. I am always willing to work with your other health providers (with your and their consent).  I do not encourage people to stop their western medical treatments. I am here to help you to better manage those treatments when you are feeling disempowered.
• EMPOWER.  My goal is to share knowledge with you, so that you feel empowered to use the tools shared so that you can go out on your own and manage your issues without me.

My clients come to me wanting to have more tools to manage their:

• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Trauma (PTSD)
• Chronic or new pain
• Burn out
• Grief support

Together we use multiple modalities to find out what works for them, these modalities can include:

• Somatic modalities (movement)
• Breath work 
• Self-directed or guided meditation
• Vibrational work
• Sensory work
• Energetic work
• Lifestyle changes

A bit more about me........

I am a certified trauma informed yoga therapist with over 1500 hours of yoga therapy related trainings. 

I have ten plus years experience as a yoga teacher and have my children's and pre/postnatal yoga teacher designations. I did my yoga therapy major project on traumatic brain injury and love how a yoga practice can encourage positive growth due to the brains neuroplasticity. 

My personal practice has been a 25 year plus journey and I have experienced great benefits from it. Yoga has helped me manage my own struggles with physical injury (back, neck, shoulder, hip) post-concussion syndrome, insomnia and anxiety. 

Yoga cannot 'cure' you, yoga does not believe that you are broken. The tools that yoga shares can be incredibly empowering, helping individuals to dig deep and find their own personal wisdom. It is a practice, and the more you practice, the more you gain from it. In order to achieve growth, you have to do, learn and explore. 

I would love to be one of your guides on your journey!

Let's keep kindness in our thoughts, kindness in our words and kindness in our heart.

All the best,

Meghan
