Hi, I'm Meghan
I'm a licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist and I passionately specialize in women's health and fertility. I love what I do and I feel truly privileged to support, empower, and learn from each of the wonderful individuals I work with.
Outside the clinic, I’m Momma to four amazing children. I know firsthand the ups and downs of trying to conceive, experiencing multiple miscarriages, and what it’s like to navigate the unpredictable path of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
My path toward becoming an acupuncturist was long and winding, but my first pregnancy played a huge role in helping me find my purpose and passion. In 2006, when I was pregnant with my first child, I experienced preterm labor at 26 weeks, which resulted in three months of strict bed rest and a very difficult postpartum period. I struggled with severe postpartum anxiety, brain fog, and chronic fatigue for more than a year. I knew becoming a new mom had its challenges, but this seemed like more than that. I just felt off.
I went to the doctor multiple times during that first year of motherhood, desperate for some help. All of my labs and tests came back within the normal range, and I was told that nothing was wrong with me. But I knew something wasn't right.
Eventually, I went to see an acupuncturist. I started getting weekly treatments and taking herbal medicine. My acupuncturist listened to my complaints and validated what I was feeling. She explained my diagnosis to me and advised me to make some diet and lifestyle changes. After about a month of following her advice, I could feel my brain fog lift, my anxiety ease, and my energy return. I finally started to feel like myself again. I was so relieved that it literally brought me to tears.
Years later, when I was trying for my fourth child, I experienced back-to-back miscarriages. Although I knew pregnancy loss was common and happened to many women, nothing could have prepared me for the depth of grief, fear, and anxiety I felt during that time. It was truly one of the most difficult things I have ever gone through in my life.
As challenging as those times were, I am, in some ways, very grateful for these experiences. They helped me turn my personal pain into a clear vision for helping others. It gave me firsthand experience in understanding how much people need and deserve compassionate care during these times. And it led me to the most fulfilling and heartwarming career I could have ever dreamed of.
I founded Mother Moon in 2013 because I believe in nurturing the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. At Mother Moon, we understand the challenges of trying to conceive, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our acupuncture treatments are designed to provide you with the care, balance, and support you need on your journey to parenthood and through every stage of your reproductive life.
I want you to know that you are welcome to be yourself here. You get to come just as you are and know that you will be supported and cared for through all the ups and downs of your journey. That means you never have to apologize for having a rough day, it means I will sit with you and listen to what's really going on, and it means you don't need to put on a smile if it's not how you're feeling. When it's time to laugh and celebrate we will do that too!
One of the things I love the most about being an Acupuncturist is that I get to spend so much time with my patients. I take a significant amount of time getting to know my patients with 90 minute initial visits. These initial visits help to build a foundation of trust and deep understanding of who you are as a whole person, and what factors are influencing your overall health.
Based on the information I gather from the first visit I make my diagnosis, pick my herbal formula(s), and write up a report of findings. The report of findings explains the your diagnosis in detail, so you understand how I am seeing your pattern, and what we can do to bring that picture into more balance. I outline a treatment plan and give diet and lifestyle suggestions to improve overall health, balance hormones, and optimize fertility. This approach puts the power directly in the your hands and gives you the tools to manage a healthy lifestyle for years to come.
I look forward to working with you and supporting your health and wellbeing.
