Hi, I'm Megan

I am so glad you are here. As someone who had to navigate an autoimmune disease diagnosis, I know how overwhelming it can feel to search for answers—hoping to find something that gives you back control over your health instead of feeling helpless to your symptoms. Now, years into my own healing journey, it is my sincerest desire to help others along theirs.

I have a small but growing family and am a mother to a beautiful little girl. We live in a rented basement of a 100-year-old house in the suburbs, and while I dream of one day having my own little piece of land to homestead on, limited space hasn’t stopped me from starting my journey. I’ve always loved nature, animals, and growing things, but going through my health journey has deepened my connection with our food. There is something so fulfilling about making a meal and knowing I was there for every step—from planting the seed and tending to it, to harvesting and cooking it. It’s the most satisfying feeling in the world to eat food I not only prepared but also grew myself!

I wanted to create a space where we can find our people, feel the love and support we all need, and empower each other in our healing journeys. You are not alone—welcome to this community where we heal, grow, and thrive together!

Why I Created Heal With Me Homestead

I feel that God has blessed me with so much in my life. Sometimes we think “why do good things happen to bad people” but looking back, every struggle and hardship I have had has helped me to grow and led me to opportunities that have enriched and blessed my life more than I could have imagined. I have learned so much from dealing with my own struggles about how to eat better to reduce inflammation and pain, how to balance my hormones and heal my gut that eventually helped me to become pregnant, how to grow and process my own food so I had a healthier relationship with food and my body, how to grow regeneratively and live my life more sustainably so I could have more health and freedom.
I believe healing should be simple, accessible, and sustainable.

I know firsthand how powerful it is to reconnect with food, live sustainably, and embrace a holistic approach to health. This journey has given me more energy, less pain, and a better quality of life than I ever imagined—and I want the same for you.
