What People Love About My Courses & Retreats

“I did Megan’s course (when my son was in Gr9) and have been through the book. It is brilliant and really helps one move from leading from the front as is necessary when they’re little, to standing at their shoulder through the teen years.I love how she puts it all into an understandable perspective and helps us broaden our own focus as mums. Highly recommended.”

– Anne Ellis-Brown

“Megan is a truly awe-inspiring teacher of spiritual ecology, and Bobbejaanskloof Nature Reserve is pure magic. After the retreat, I return home renewed, revitalized, and somehow transformed. This is the power of Megan’s work integrating nature and our own psychology. On her retreats, I access the ways that nature informs my personal healing process. I am coming back every year!”

– Willow Constantine

“Thank you for a wonderful and informative course. It was justwhat I needed to wake up to the fact that my son is a young man with his own identity, and has changed the way I respond to him. I look forward to the next few years with him and I feel more equipped and strengthened to navigate through these teenage years.”

– Lynda

“I just want to thank you for delivering an amazing course. I am so glad I made the time to attend. I have learned so much and am already beginning to see the rewards of a different approach with my eldest son. Our entire family is benefitting.”

– Norma Yates

“I am still in awe of all I learnt last week! I have started implementing certain ways of thinking and have improved my mothering ability already!”

– Sam

“Megan is truly a remarkable person … smart, passionate relatable, humorous. Her approach in helping guide our group of parents with teenage girls brought such insight and perspective. I left feeling more empowered and eager to share my daughter’s journey and maybe even learn more about myself along the way too.”
