Meagan's passion as a heart-centred Life & Business Coach is in supporting individuals that have fallen into patterns that no longer serve them, who feel stuck, exhausted, lost, unclear, under-resourced or unsatisfied in their lives and/or businesses. What fills her soul is empowering her clients to step into their power and claim a new found sense of awareness, clarity, courage and freedom.
Working with Meagan is a deeply compassionate, experiential, integrative and highly effective approach to self & professional development and resiliency. It provides transformation for motivated individuals who suffer from being anxious, overwhelmed, under-confident, lacking clarity and ‘STUCK’ in an unsatisfied place in their life, relationships or career.
