About Empowered by Meg
Total health isn’t just about the physical body; it encompasses the whole person—mind, body and spirit. Our experiences, the thoughts we keep, the language we use, the spaces around us, our goals, and our actions, all play a part in our health. Whether it’s through one-to-one coaching, group coaching, developing programs for worksites, or digital content, together we’ll focus on mindset, behavior change, and social structures, to drive results and reach goals that reflect a more inclusive and holistic vision of health and progress, creating a culture of care for all.
What is a culture of care?
A culture of care is where we create pathways to progress—not just for ourselves, but for each other.
It’s the understanding that our collective health and success is also impacted by who and what surrounds us, even if it’s not directly happening to us.
It’s the mentality and action that empowers us to do what we can right now to leave things a little better than how we found them.
A culture of care is inclusive rather than exclusive, and sees addressing challenges as an essential component in determining a forward-facing action plan.
A culture of care is the framework for how I will partner with you.

I believe that everyone should "get busy living" because we’re lucky to wake up every day.
In 2009, I started EMPOWERED BY MEG after experiencing burnout from ten years in corporate settings and efforts spent in public health. Deciding to follow my passion for helping people and leaning into my entrepreneurial spirit, with the mission to redefine how folks think about health and success individually and collectively, is one of the best things I have ever done.
Drawing inspiration from my experiences working for the American Cancer Society, roles in sales and human resources, and time spent partnering with clients, organizations, and community groups, I bring a multi-faceted approach to delivering solutions to help my clients reach their goals. I have suffered personal and professional setbacks from things like divorce, death, trauma, and grief and developed the insight and tools to move forward with grace, empathy, and renewed purpose. For over two decades, it’s been my honor to offer support and resources to others, so that they can successfully navigate their own path.
I am a graduate of Syracuse University and an ICF ACC Life Coach with certifications in Emotional Intelligence, Stress Management, Career, Transition, in addition to being a certified End of Life Doula through the University of Vermont’s Larner College of Medicine. I hold multiple professional and speciality certifications across many disciplines and I am dedicated to a life full of learning and sharing experiences.
Everyone deserves opportunity, space, and support to address their needs and pursue their goals .
I’ve coached and supported cancer patients, implemented public health programs for underserved populations, spent time in high-pressure numbers driven environments, and partnered with executive leaders and worldwide corporations on worksite wellness and public health initiatives and cause marketing campaigns. I’ve helped people start their own businesses, guided companies on best practices and been a champion and ally for fellow women-owned businesses and creators. My support and insight has helped folks navigate big life changes. My clients are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, MS patients, veterans, recovering addicts, CEOs, grown-ups, parents, folks battling mental health challenges, professional athletes, older adults, teams, members of law enforcement, frontline workers, grief sufferers, survivors, and so much more. Whoever you are, you are welcome here.
