Welcome!  I am a Certified Holistic Health Counselor, Certified Family Herbalist, and Holistic Nutritionist from Appleton, Wisconsin. I'm proud mommy to 10 year old Eliana and 5 year old Theo, and married to Matthew Normansell of Eden Wild Food.

 

I have studied Naturopathic Medicine & Practitioner Studies at Clayton College of Natural Health, studied nutrition at the University of Florida, and have received my certification to practice Holistic Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. I received my certification as a Certified Family Herbalist at The School of Natural Healing in Utah. I teach wild edibles & wild medicine foraging classes, and my unique herbal products are wild harvested locally and made by hand. My herbal store Megan's Herbal Apothecary is linked above, and you can read more about the medicines I use here.  We are one of the only MAMI mushroom expert certified businesses in Wisconsin. 

 

I have 19 years experience in the health and nutrition field, and am board certified with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I am an expert in utilizing bio-individually appropriate and targeted nutritional supplementation & herbal medicines to assist in reaching your health goals. 

 

Some of my instructors included Dr. Walter Willet, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University; Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center; Dr. Deepak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body medicine; Geneen Roth, bestselling author and expert on emotional eating; and Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine.

 

My education is unique in that it integrates all major dietary theories - combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies like Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine with more modern concepts like the veganism, paleo, FODMAP, Weston Price diet, food energetics, the glycemic index, raw foods, and so many more. I use a total of 115 different dietary theories to help my clients find exactly what is right for their bodies- no two people will be identical and every aspect of physical, emotional, and social wellness is interconnected. I am equipped to help you bridge the gap between modern medicine and natural, holistic healing to achieve true health and balance while addressing the root causes instead of using band-aids. Read my client testimonials on our Facebook page, google page, and here!
