Megan Players is an artist, teacher, shiatsu therapist and healing sound practitioner.

Healing is not just a medical issue.
We are complex beings striving for wholeness.
Traditional Chinese Medicine sees “stagnation” as the root of illness and has coined the helpful adage “where there is stagnation there is pain and where there is pain there is stagnation”.
A creative approach and a willingness to expand beyond our preconceived limitations enables us to grow out of constricting situations and towards greater wholeness.
