Forging a Holistic Path: Conversations on Healing with Megan Edge
Manage episode 493555215 series 3443716
Dive deep into the world of holistic healing with Megan Edge, a master healer whose diverse background spans from counseling and metaphysical practices to geology and ethical wildcrafting. Megan's approach to wellness breaks through conventional boundaries, weaving together intuitive energy work, plant medicine, and community building to create lasting transformation.
What sets Megan apart is her Gemini-driven curiosity that has allowed her to develop multiple healing modalities under one powerful umbrella. Having worked in metaphysical fields like astral projections and rune work since 2007, she eventually created her own healing system called Intuitive Energy Massage. Through our conversation, she reveals how childhood experiences with nature-connected parents shaped her path and how significant life challenges eventually led her to take a crucial two-year hiatus to prevent burnout—walking her own talk about the importance of self-care.
The most fascinating aspect of our discussion centers on Megan's relationship with plant medicine. After a profound moment collecting tree resin with her daughter, she recognized the healing potential all around us in the natural world. Unlike pharmaceuticals, Megan explains that plant medicines are "whole entities with energy and spirit," requiring relationship rather than mere extraction. Her ethical foraging practices and botanical formulations through Beyond the Garden Gate share these healing gifts with others, while her foraging tours teach people to recognize medicine and food in their own environments.
We discover remarkable parallels in our life paths, both having diverse career trajectories that ultimately coalesced into purposeful healing practices. Megan's story reminds us that sometimes the universe delivers wake-up calls to realign us with our true purpose. Whether through her counseling, botanical remedies, oracle cards, or certification programs, Megan creates multiple access points for those seeking deeper healing.
