Guiding women to answer the call of your body & soul, amplify your sacred light, and activate your lit-up life in service to our world.
In my early years, I lived the life that my world expected of me: a perfectionist, overachiever, people-pleaser, peacemaker, ticking every box of success.
Raised in blue-collar Pittsburgh as the daughter of an accountant, I mastered logic, organization, and accomplishment.
Out of college, I joined Teach for America as a schoolteacher in inner-city Los Angeles, co-authored several books, received a White House medal and attention in the news.
A betrayal shattered my relationship.
My parents’ approval turned to disappointment.
My classroom felt impossible to manage.
For the first time, the validation I’d built my life around disappeared.
I found myself crying on my bedroom floor, asking the one question I had no answer for…
Amidst the chaos, a fellow teacher invited me into something entirely unfamiliar – a gathering with a Mexican shaman.
Skeptical but intrigued, I walked into a living room and sat at the feet of don Miguel Ruiz, international bestselling author of The Four Agreements.
That night, my plans for graduate school dissolved. I quit my job, abandoned my meticulously laid out plans, and stepped onto a path I could barely comprehend but knew in my soul was mine.
For the next decade, I went to every workshop and retreat he offered, eventually being recognized as the nagual woman (shaman and spiritual leader) in the Toltec lineage, running don Miguel’s business and co-teaching with him around North and South America.
My family questioned my sanity, and at times, so did I.
But deep in my bones, I knew this was where I was meant to be.
I left behind the need to fit the world’s definitions and stepped into a deeper truth: I am here to illuminate the path for others.
But Spirit wasn’t done with me yet.
I was quietly unraveling.
Our life looked amazing on the outside – stunning ranchette in Colorado, traveling to lead retreats in exotic locations, epic fairy-tale love story, healthy kids in amazing schools.
Yet I was stressed, resentful, impatient with my daughter and son and no longer intimate with my husband.
Eventually, my soul refused to be ignored.
An excruciating dark night of the soul stripped away the masks I had worn yet again – putting others first, playing small, doubting my worth. Illness, crumbling relationships, mounting debt, and the dissolution of my business brought me to my knees.
But in that breaking, I found the path to reclaiming my light, my truth, and the Sacred within.
I emerged with a clarity I hadn’t known was possible.
Today, my life’s work is to guide women to activate our light so we can own and share it with the world, in service.
“Working with Meghan served me at the highest level to see my soul’s purpose. I’ve never met another mentor who has such enormous integrity or desire to have her clients reach their fullest potential.”
I act as a bridge—between the seen and unseen, between ancient feminine wisdom and the lives of modern women like you seeking healing, purpose, and alignment.
I help you heal what’s holding you back and connect to your intuition.
I stand by you
as you rise to your fullest potential
and invite you into the magic and mystery
of working in harmony with Spirit.
I know the many sacrifices and realignments big and small that this path calls for.
I’ve stood against the comfort of family expectations – both the family I was born into and the one I’ve chosen – to be true to myself.
I’ve lived through seasons of separation and upheaval – all to honor the path that calls me.
as women, mothers, & creators.
This work isn’t for the faint-hearted, and it’s not about magic for magic’s sake.
It’s about reawakening a timeless wisdom & way of life.
It’s about bringing your inner light and the Sacred into the everyday—into our homes, our relationships, our communities, and also, into the healing of Mother Earth.
Ultimately, I don’t care about labels — healer, shaman, nagual woman, priestess.
What matters is that, in my presence, you feel the truth of your own spirit; that you remember what it’s like to be whole, to trust yourself, to root into your essence.
And for you to fully, unapologetically claim your own light.
This path calls us to live fully awake to our choices, understanding that every action ripples outward, that our energy, our magic, and our medicine can transform the world.
We are here to honor the divine feminine, in harmony with the divine masculine, to remember the ancient-new ways, and to rise in power and possibility – for ourselves, our children, our communities, and our planet.
Here’s what I know for sure:
You are sacred. You are enough. You can trust yourself, others and life itself.
You don’t need to push, struggle or constantly try to be better or more.
I’m Meghan Gilroy.
My soul mission is to guide women to answer the call of your body and soul, heal your heart, amplify the sacred light within you, and create a life that lights you up so you can be of service in your unique way.
If you are ready to answer the call, then I invite you to explore working together.
