I decided it was time to do something for myself. Instead of filling up everyone else’s cup I filled my own. In summer 2025, I decided to sign up for The Embodied Warrior School of Sound in Costa Rica. I was terrified when I did it, investing so much to myself, traveling internationally for the first time, etc. You name it I was thinking it. Ive known Megan since my YTT in 2024 and every step of the way she’s been SO supportive and encouraging. Costa Rica was no different. This training/trip, from the moment I signed up to even now, months later has left me with support, new friends/community, connection to myself and everything around me and so much more. It was truly life changing and inspiring. Now, let’s get out of the feels and into the experience and training. I’m all about organization/planning and everything from stepping off the plane in San Jose, everything in between and back to boarding for home, went flawlessly. The retreat center was everything I could have dreamed of. It was clean the staff was so kind and the food was everything I’ve never had! Even the bananas. I still dream of them sometimes haha! Everything was open concept and it felt like I was walking through the jungle everyday. Seeing the leaf cutting ants trail was one of my favorite morning routines. My room felt like it was picked just for me. And when I didn’t feel like being in my room, there was plenty of lounging places with privacy that you could reflect, read, or write. I felt comfortable to be myself where ever I choose to put my body. Now onto the training. I felt pretty confident because I took the in person 10 hour sound training but being away from home around new and old friends has a way of humbling your ego. I learned SO much. Things I thought I knew but didn’t. How intricate and deep the science of sound truly goes. Megan and the other students were so patient with me and with each other. Never once did I feel out of place or not good enough. Megan was very knowledgeable and left us with resources I’ll probably use for the rest of my life. Throughout the days we learned different instruments, how to play effectively, the what to do and what not to do. On our down time we got to explore and rest. We spent the afternoon at the beach where I got to fully immerse myself in the Pacific Ocean for the FIRST time. A trip to a nearby waterfall which I regret skipping but I was in need of some rest. Another afternoon was spent in town checking out the local shops and the market and somewhere in between house mama helped schedule tattoo sessions for an unforgettable souvenir! Overall I left feeling more confident in my practice, more aligned in my purpose, and never ending grateful for the space that was created for growth and reflection. This experience went far beyond certification. It reset my soul. I would recommend this trip to anyone seeking deep healing, expansion, and a truly unforgettable journey.

Megan gives it her all in her trainings! So much information, so much support. I've taken her 200YTT and this 50hr sound training, her events and retreats too, all warm, wholesome experiences. ❤️

I cannot speak highly enough of this training. As a Licensed Professional Counselor for almost two decades I am continuously looking for ways to expand my knowledge and advance my skills to heal others and improve clinical outcomes. It is imperative to work with both the mind AND body. Sound healing, I believe, is on the frontier of healing in that it goes beyond the workings of the mind/body and works with our frequencies( vibrations) to assist in nervous system regulation( i.e. taking us from fight or flight to relaxation). My training with Megan was extensive, informative and highly crafted. I think it is important to point out that Megan has a Master's in Applied Health Physiology, is a 500 hr ERYT, and has taught at the University level and in many locations around the globe. Not that these accomplishments and pieces of paper define us, of course they do not; however when I am in search of training beyond my scope of practice and learning a new healing tool it is VITAL for me to have someone who is highly knowledgeable and works within an ethical and loving framework. With Megan you can TRUST that what you are receiving is of high quality and know that the safety of all is being ensured. I am aware of other practitioners who call themselves's " trauma informed," ( when they are not), and, as a therapist, it is very much noted that Megan, while "trauma aware," knows the scope of her own training and is highly professional in how to direct and assist. The sense of connection and love was unmatched to anything I have previously attended in such an intimate setting. Also, the accommodations are high end luxury and the food is fantastic. All are honored, all are loved. I will absolutely attend more trainings with Megan and her amazing organization!

I have been lucky enough to attend multiple of The Embodied Warrior trainings, the latest one being in Costa Rica for the 50 hour sound practitioner training and retreat. I can not say enough good things about the training, Megan, and the experience that she offers. Not only is it educational, it is also so transformative and empowering. Megan truly puts her all into these trainings, and it shows. The knowledge and empowerment The Embodied Warrior offers is unmatched. 10/10 recommend, I’m so grateful to have found this community ♥️

I had the most amazing experience during my 10-hour sound healing training with Megan. From the moment the training began, her energy felt grounding, safe, and so genuine. She is such a gifted teacher—knowledgeable, intuitive, and deeply passionate about sound healing. Megan created a beautiful space for learning, growth, and connection, and I walked away feeling inspired, confident, and so grateful. This experience truly exceeded my expectations and reaffirmed my love for sound healing. I couldn’t recommend learning from Megan enough.
