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.
