Her treatment approach is collaborative, intentional, and personalized—rooted in the belief that no two bodies (or journeys) are exactly alike. Megan takes time to understand each patient's unique goals, lifestyle, and movement patterns, utilizing a mixture of manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, and patient education/lifestyle adjustments to build a plan that supports real, lasting progress.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Megan brings a grounded, whole-person perspective to her care. Her experiences living in different parts of the country—completing her education in Nebraska and Oregon—have given her a broad perspective, the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, and a wide-range of interests. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find Megan experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, painting, playing piano, lifting weights, or flowing through a hot yoga class with her husband.
