About
Megan has been a professional massage therapist for over two decades and is California state certified (CAMTC #16522). She completed a 730-hour comprehensive massage therapy program at Trinity College in May 2004. Megan went on to graduate Cum Laude from San Jose State University in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, emphasis in Exercise Physiology. Since then, she has taken numerous continuing educational courses in both massage and fitness related modalities. At the beginning of her massage practice, Megan worked in various settings ranging from integrative wellness clinics to high-end health clubs. After working as a therapist for 8 years, she started to explore other roles in the field and started teaching massage at Carrington College, a subsidiary of DeVry University. That experience then led her to the realm of corporate wellness to experience the management side of the industry where she spent time at Nvidia as their first Wellness Program Manager and at Google as a Massage Program and People Manager with the Real Estate and Workplace Services (REWS) org. In addition to her massage certifications, Megan is certified as a Medical Exercise Specialist, Health Coach and StrongFirst I (Kettebell) Instructor. She was a former Crossfit coach / athlete, triathlete and taught group exercise classes for 10 years. Megan's biggest passion lies in helping others reach and maintain high levels of self-efficacy concerning their health and fitness goals through massage therapy/bodywork, exercise, nutrition, and therapeutic lifestyle changes. Further, since 2011 she has been involved in hospice as both a volunteer and employee providing healing touch to help comfort patients transitioning from life to death. In her free time, Megan enjoys all things health and wellness, moving her body in various ways, and spending time outside. She loves to learn through reading books, listening to podcasts and connecting with others.
