Hello! I’m Meghan Hennessy, Clinical Social Work Candidate, MSW, Reiki Master, sound healer, plant medicine ceremonialist & yoga teacher- I am so happy you are here!
A Little About Me..
I am from the midwest, raised in Ohio. I received my undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and my Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago.
My specialties include healing the body from trauma, anxiety & depression through various somatic healing approaches that includes Somatic Experiencing, healing touch (also known as co-regulating touch), Reiki, Internal Family Systems, yoga, breathwork, sound healing, psychedelic assisted psychotherapies, meditation & Somatic Yoga Therapy. I currently offer Somatic Yoga Therapy in a group transformational healing container, which is offered virtually three times/year.
I am trained in Radiant Body Yoga, a technological approach to healing the body through breath, movement, kriya, mantra, and various types of mediative practices. I have over 900 hours of formal yoga teacher training that includes hatha, yin, restorative, and yoga nidra. I combine ancient teachings and practices with modern day mental health that has been shown to provide deeply profound spiritual, mental, and physical healing of the body, mind, & spirit. I have studied with shamans, gurus, and masters in various fields of healing to learn the most effective ways of healing the body of trauma & suffering. The tools I share with my clients are some of the best and I can’t wait to share them with you!
My goal is to help you feel more alive in your body, peace in the present moment, secure in your identity, safe in your relationships, embodied in your sense of Self, resilient in your nervous system, joyful in your nature, in love with your life, and grounded in your authentic self so that you can thrive in all aspects of your life.

What People Are Saying About Meghan’s Services:
“The first time I went to Meghan‘s yoga class I was committed for life, and then when she did somatic healing on me, I was blown away. Everything Meghan does is amazing! She is the best practitioner I have ever been to. She is so healing with her touch and understands the body mind and spirit. She truly calmed my nervous system, and was able to tune in, and know exactly what I needed. Meghan is the kindest person I’ve ever met, and no matter if it’s Yoga, Somatic therapy, Sound healing, I will never go to anyone else! Meghan has helped my nervous system so much! Thank you for your healing!”
— Farahday M.
“My experience doing deep somatic and psychedelic-assisted work with Meghan has cultivated hope that is hard to measure.
Meghan is deeply empathetic, and it comes out in the way she gently probes in sessions, seemingly being led by her intuition to take the conversation where it needs to go. She has an innate sense of when to probe deeper and when to give space for processing complex topics and realizations. It can be challenging, but I know she is digging deep to show up for me and be what I need.
Whether you need a gentle therapy tune-up to tackle recent life challenges or you have reached a point where you want full-on, transformational change, Meghan creates a vibrant, warm, positive, safe space where you can tackle “the work” and grow in ways that will serve you, your friends, and loved ones for a lifetime and beyond.”
— Justin S.
“Meghan’s classes are truly purifying. She prompts me back ot the present moment through breath, calming my nervous system, and infusing each moment with accessible peace. Meghan is authentic, caring, and welcoming. Her thoughtful class preparation is obvious in her organization and class flow, maximizing every valuable minute. Meghan is a genuine healer.”
— Sarah B.
"10 out of 10, every time! I always leave Meghan’s classes saying “that was exactly what I needed”. I truly feel like since I began taking Meghan’s classes (almost 10 years ago!!), she has helped me become a more mindful person that can finally slow down long enough to listen to what my body is trying to tell me - plus my 35 year old body has never been stronger! Meghan has a way of fostering a calm and welcoming environment but at the same time challenging my mind and body with every class. I love that she explores new techniques and methods to incorporate into her classes - keeping things both familiar and fresh! I highly recommend letting Meghan guide you through a class sometime, whether you’re a beginner or an expert, I truly think you’ll leave feeling calmer & stronger."
- Emily R.
Meghan is such a heartfelt guide during her yoga classes. She carries a gentle soft vibe while also challenging me mentally and physically. Her class themes are very universal but always seem to fit right into the things that are happening in the world and in my life. I highly recommend her as she is an amazing yoga teacher and I always leave her classes feeling relaxed yet empowered.

“I recommend Meghan's services to anyone & everyone I know! If you haven't had the absolute blessing of working with Meghan, I sincerely implore you to let her work her magic. To say Meghan's Reiki sessions are worth the money is an understatement! Her work has been instrumental to my healing of emotional & physical trauma. I went to Meghan for my first Reiki session because I felt so overwhelmed by life that I didn't know what I needed to focus on or work on. I had so many questions, but Meghan answered them all before I even had the chance to ask! I now have had multiple remote Reiki sessions with her and her amazing ability to connect & help heal is unmatched. Each time she has been able to move and/or locate stuck energy and provided such valuable insight as to what to do moving forward..”
— Natalie W.
“I recently had the pleasure of taking a 90min Movement/Meditation/Breath class with Meghan. The techniques and disciplines from which she curated, designed, and directed the experience (as well as her natural and professional skills as a teacher/guide) were balanced perfectly. Appropriate adjectives would be: sublime, approachable, challenging, rewarding, and artistic. 5/5 would crush again”
— Chris G.
My favorite time of the day is 6:15 AM. My favorite day of the week is Tuesday. At 6:15 AM on Tuesday, I attend Meghan Henessey's sunrise yoga class. I have been attending yoga classes at Samadhi Yoga in Denver for the past 12 years. At times, I have taken as many as 10 classes a week. Sadly, now that I live 80 miles away in Manitou Springs, I am lucky if I can attend a couple of classes a week at Samadhi.
The one class that I rarely miss is Meghan's class. I have been privileged to watch Meghan mature into a wise and accomplished teacher. I have been taking her sunrise classes for over 10 years. We, who attend regularly, say that her physical practice is sneaky challenging. And, although I enjoy her movement practice, it is the meditative experience that I love. She opens by turning off the music and grounding us into the present moment using various pranayama techniques and her soothing voice. She is wise beyond her years and knows that yoga is not really about the physical practice. Instead, she guides her students to focus on clearing their minds and to be in the present moment on and off the mat.
Meghan is truly a healer at heart. She has used the practice of yoga to clear her own obstacles and is sharing this profound practice with the rest of us, not just at 6:15 AM on Tuesdays, but in every moment of her existence.
