Functional Medicine Health Coach @ Wellnessprout LLC

I have been a Registered Nurse since 2005 and a Board-Certified Lactation Consultant since 2011. Over the years, I have worked in a variety of areas including Postpartum Care, Neonatal Intensive Care and Post Anesthesia Care. I founded Mommy’s Angels Postpartum Care Services, LLC in 2010 and have been teaching mothers the art of breastfeeding ever since.

I lived what I thought was a healthy lifestyle and for the most part considered myself “healthy.” However, I regularly experienced different symptoms that I thought were “annoying but normal” and assumed they were “things that I just had to live with” such as debilitating pre-menstrual cramps and headaches that I managed by taking round the clock Ibuprofen. After moving to Austin, I started experiencing seasonal allergies that developed into a year-round challenge that required regular allergy medication and occasional steroid inhaler use. I also experienced extreme fatigue, which I attributed to being a working mom. When I brought these symptoms up with my doctors, I was assured that all my labs were normal and was told not to worry.

My journey into holistic health began with the devastating news of my mother’s diagnosis of endometrial cancer in 2011. I started researching ways to help her through chemo treatments. A few years later, I worked with a naturopath who helped me balance my hormones and address my gut health. After several months of working with him, I was amazed that I no longer required my regular allergy medications or Ibuprofen to manage my symptoms. I am happy to say that I have since overcome all those “annoying” issues and am living my best life!

I was so fascinated by what I learned through the years that I decided to further my education by joining The School of Applied Functional Medicine and began training to become a functional medicine health coach. I completed my studies in 2021 and have been applying the knowledge I have learned to help my clients as well as friends and families achieve great improvements in their health. I look forward to helping you on your journey to optimal health!

Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Group Fitness Instructor, Hormone Guru

Have you ever gone to see your healthcare provider with bothersome symptoms only to be told, “everything looks normal” ? OR – you are offered an antidepressant, sleeping pill, or some other drug? Or maybe you are told, “it’s just part of life.”

There is a difference between normal and optimal. If you are not even feeling “normal”, then something is definitely off and you have the right to be heard! Your body has an amazing power to heal itself – but only when you give it what it needs and get to the root cause in a holistic way.

Megan is a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, a Group Fitness Instructor and is certified in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and Mind-Body Medicine. She helps women get answers to their unexplained symptoms that are likely related to hormonal imbalances (yes, she helps men too!). Too many women are feeling symptoms such as

• fatigue,
• weight gain,
• brain fog,
• anxiety and/or depression,
• insomnia,
• digestive issues/IBS
• and many many more –

and are being told it’s part of being a woman, or they have to just live with it. They aren’t getting help.

Megan truly listens to you. She provides comprehensive testing where results are viewed from an optimal point of view. YOU are ⅔ of the picture – the lab results just help fill in the gaps. She makes sure you understand your results and what the improvement plan is every step of the way.

And, she offers free consultations so you can get to know each other first.

My name is Merritt Knize, and I have been a Licensed Esthetician in Texas since 2011. I supported two of Austin’s top spas before establishing Merritt Skincare in 2014.

My passion for skincare started in elementary school when my friend’s mother introduced me to my first mask and facial steaming. Before I knew it, I was steaming my face at home and making my own masks from edible ingredients in the kitchen. By the time I was in junior high school, sleepovers meant at-home facials for my friends.

My hunger for increasing knowledge of proper skincare, product ingredients, and treatments resulted in me gaining a formal education in esthetics and obtaining my license. I have continuously and eagerly expanded my knowledge and skills, which has been conveyed through my high quality treatments and has won me many glowing reviews.

I am a certified Nefeli Gua Sha Facial practitioner, and I am additionally certified in other advanced, traditional healing and rejuvenating methods, including:

• Gua Sha Facial Fusion (TCM),
• Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD),
• ASTECC Connective Tissue Manipulation (CTM),
• Dien Chan Zone® Facial Reflexology,
• Thai Herbal Poultice Facial Massage (TTM),
• and Ayurvedic Kansa massage.

I am also certified in the Sculptural Face Lifting Technique + intra-oral massage through Yakov Gershkovich. I received my Board Certification as a Holistic Health Practitioner from the AADP in April of 2020.
