The most powerful thing you can become…is fully yourself.
Hi, I’m Meg Gillespie. Therapist, intuitive guide, and mother walking the edge of softness and strength.
I believe leadership isn’t about a title.
It’s about how you show up—for yourself, your relationships, and your vision.
Whether you’re running a business, a household, or a creative calling, you are leading.
And the most powerful form of leadership?
The kind that starts within.
Leadership grounded in nervous system resilience, anchored self-trust, and embodied compassion.

My Story
I'm not your typical therapist or your typical coach.
I'm a licensed therapist, intuitive guide, and mentor for high-achievers and visionary leaders who are outwardly successful but inwardly craving something deeper.
You’ve built an impressive life. You know how to deliver, lead, and perform. But despite all the achievements, something feels off.
The exhaustion. The pressure. The sense that no matter how much you do, it’s never enough.
You’ve mastered pushing through, but now you’re ready to feel grounded, whole, and aligned.
That’s where I come in.
I help high achievers like you shift the way you operate at a foundational level, not by fixing what's broken, but by reconnecting you to what’s already within: your body’s wisdom, your inner safety, your authentic voice. My work bridges the science of the nervous system with the soul of leadership, because real transformation doesn’t happen in your head. It happens in your body, your energy, your identity.
Using a blend of somatic therapy, nervous system support, intuitive reflection, and identity-level work, we clear the noise and create real, lasting change. This is deep, grounded transformation that frees you to lead and live from a place of clarity, ease, and self-trust.
Because here’s the truth: Without regulation, presence, energy alignment, and authenticity, the “success” many people chase becomes unsustainable or even harmful. I don’t focus on quick wins or surface-level strategies. I help you become the kind of person who can hold more—more joy, more visibility, more responsibility, more wealth—without collapsing under the weight of it.
Whether we’re working one-on-one, in group space, or within a retreat setting, my intention is the same: To create a space where you can finally exhale, soften the grip of survival mode, and return to the part of you that already knows how to lead with purpose and presence.
Because the version of you you're becoming?
She's not here to hustle harder.
She’s here to live fully and lead from wholeness.
My Philosophy
You don’t need to be “more productive.” You need to feel safe in your body.
You don’t need another strategy. You need to rebuild trust with your inner knowing.
You don’t need a better to-do list. You need the clarity that comes when your system finally exhales.
Everything I create, whether it’s a ritual, a retreat, or a group experience, is rooted in restorative growth: the kind that nourishes your system, honors your seasons, and helps you lead from alignment, not adrenaline.

The Work
My signature process, The EMBODY™ Framework, offers a nervous system-informed pathway from burnout to brilliance.
But more than anything, my work offers you this:
A space to feel again.
A process to return home to yourself.
A practice of becoming your own guide.
Background & Training
My approach is grounded in my training and past career experience. I earned my Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling and pursued additional training in Polyvagal Theory (explains the role the autonomic nervous system plays in regulating health and behavior), anxiety, meditation, mindfulness, attachment, Internal Family Systems, couples counseling and play therapy. Communication is the key to developing strong, fulfilling relationships and it can be learned. I am Level I and Level II trained in the Gottman Method and use it to help enhance connection and manage conflict with the important people in your world. I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching and have almost a decade of experience in the education system teaching children and training parents and educators.
