HI AND WELCOME.
I’m Meg.
I spend most of my working hours helping people who are struggling to navigate unexplained chronic illnesses that are often due to emotional and physical trauma.
I’m a mother, a wife, a writer, an herbalist, a nutritionist, an advocate, and a healer.
I help people heal their complex relationships with what it is to be healthy while simultaneously helping them recover from overexposure to the cesspool of the wellness industry.
When chronic health conditions arise due to complex trauma, one quickly realizes they can either heed the call and do the work of healing or continue down a path that will likely result in even bigger physiological ailments. Our bodies are truly incredible communicators when we take the time to slow down and listen.
I have been told my entire life that I’m a safe person to be with, deeply intuitive, and wise beyond my years. The degree to which I am these things is not because I was born with magic powers; it’s because I was traumatized in many different ways growing up. Complex PTSD is a beast, and it’s especially hard when you don’t realize that this is what you are struggling with.
The trauma I experienced resulted in many health issues, multiple major surgeries, surgical menopause at age 38, and not knowing how to take care of my body for the first 38 years of my life. I’ve always been able to help others (that’s been my job since I was born, basically), but to take care and choose myself and my wellbeing? That’s been a new skill— one I’ve discovered goes far beyond choosing the right foods, herbs, and supplements.
Throughout the last 12 years of working as a practitioner, I’ve had the great honor of being hand-trained by one of the greatest functional nutrition experts in the field, Andrea Nakayama. Not everyone has the opportunity to be mentored like I was, and I am forever thankful. I received my Master's Degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Bridgeport in 2019 and I’m about to start my master in clinical mental health.
I’ve done countless certification trainings over the many years as a practitioner, and at this point, I have worked with hundreds of 1:1 clients to explore what their body needs to take the next step in their healing journey. Over the years, I’ve developed the confidence and skill not to shy away from cases that may seem more complicated, and I can go wherever a client needs to go.
I work with a limited number of 1:1 clients, facilitate group programs, and mentor health coaches, herbalists, nutritionists, therapists, and others who work in the art of healing to step into their calling, releasing all the things they THINK they need and implementing the core principles of what it is to be an embodied, present, and regulated practitioner.
I am forever committed to the art and practice of healing, not just for me but for my children Oskar and Gus, my husband James, my beautiful friends, and all the clients and students I’m blessed to work with.
Beyond all the trainings, degrees, and skills that I have what’s most important is that you feel that you can trust me. I’m forever committed to doing my own work, doing my own healing, and being just as committed to my well being as I’m asking you to be committed to yours.
With love,
Megan Liebmann-Gudat

Values That Guide My Work
- I believe that in order to heal a body, we must learn to be in our bodies
- I believe that the more we touch into our human nature, the more we can heal
- I believe learning to be in nature is just as important as what we put in our body
- I believe that the systems we live in are a key reason we are so sick
- I believe that nothing in our body is separate, we must look at the whole ecosystem of the body in order to heal
The Things I believe in
- I’m deeply introverted
- I’m fun!
- I’m a highly sensitive person (lighting and noise are hard)
- I’m told I’m very funny
- I spend a lot of time with birds, bird song, and bird watching
- Birdsong helps me remember I’m safe
- I will forever be healing my C-PTSD from childhood
- Being in my garden with my husband and kids is where I’m happiest
- I’m a very skilled listener
- I love to write
- I’m a wildly loyal friend and partner– this carries over to my client relationships as well
