Once a high-impact dancer who moved audiences through performance, Megan now practices healing art and care through therapeutic touch
Welcome back to exploring the intersection of holistic health, equity, and the healing arts with the Equitable Wellness podcast. In this episode with Megan Yankee, a high-impact dancer turned licensed massage therapist, we explore Megan’s dearly held values and ask what it means in practice for healing (and continuous learning) that is consent-driven, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, all-abilities and 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly? The conversation delves into systemic issues, the significance of inclusivity, and challenges faced by marginalized communities. Megan shares her insights on the healing process, the complexities of chronic pain, and intending safe spaces for all clients. The episode concludes with a look at Megan’s future aspirations in the healing arts and her commitment to serving equity-deserving populations.
