Nutrition Consultant

Megan (she/they) is a Holistic Nutrition Consultant and Yoga Teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I support people who are experiencing health challenges related to stress, burnout, and autoimmunity in returning to themselves and their bodies.
I began my journey to improve nutrition and wellness in 2012, when I found out I have celiac. Since then I have learned to heal myself by switching to a whole foods diet, along with studying yoga, Alexander Technique, and martial arts.

I have 10 years experience within the wellness field. I am well versed in clean beauty, supplementation, and holistic protocols. I know I am here to make people better from the inside out. I am a graduate from Bauman College with a certificate for Holistic Nutrition Consulting. I have received a full scholarship to an Herbal Immersion program learning about organic soil, herbal medicine, plant identification, etc.

Executive Director

Nicole Hodson is a graduate of Bauman College and the Executive Director of the NANP. After significantly improving her and her husband’s health through whole foods nutrition, Nicole left the managed “healthcare” industry to pursue a career where she could affect more positive change. She has been with the NANP since 2007.

Path to Panacea is a youth cooking program that provides nourishing, engaging, and delicious culinary adventures! For us, the kitchen is a safe and fun place to explore, ask questions, and learn. Food connects the family and the community and cooking for others shows that we care. We are excited to create a space where kids can connect, reflect, gain confidence, and explore with all of their senses.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I became very passionate about health and nutrition when I had a health scare that the doctors had no clue what it was or how to figure it out.

I initially attended Bauman College to figure out how to handle my medical situation. Soon into the program, I realized I could help much more than that.

My mission is to revolutionize health and vitality through the power of pro-bacteria, plant-based nutrition. I specialize in the recovery of a healthy gut microbiome, and am at the forefront of helping individuals overcome diseases, unlock peak athletic performance, and embrace the journey of graceful aging.

My ultimate goal in working with individuals is to inspire them to their personal best by offering up the healing tools and resources I’ve found to be healing and self-empowering over the years.

I am a Holistic Nutritionist, Western Herbalist and Yoga Instructor who uses food, herbs and movement as medicine in my practice.

I believe that we are only as strong as our weakest parts and aim to focus on the whole person- mind, body and spirit.
