Who Am I?
Megan Wood grew up at Hollyhock, a wellness centre on Cortes Island. From an early age she was influenced and inspired by the practice of holistic health and the wisdom of nature. Megan has been a passionate kitchen creative since her early teens. Cooking was her first profession and took her to remote locations all over BC to feed hungry tree-planters and skiers. She became a mum to a beautiful baby boy in her early 20ies and continued to cook seasonally and travel with him in tow.
When her son Mateo was 3 Megan returned to school to study Interior and Architectural Design. She began her career as a Designer in 2010 in the Comox Valley. For years Megan worked as part of a design team space planning, drafting and specifying materials and finishes for local homes and businesses. In her free time she nourished her passion of creating a home for the soul through her personal practices of yoga and nutrition.
In 2015 Megan evolved into self-employment so she could harmonize the art homemaking by incorporating interior design and craft catering into her schedule. Being self-employed also allowed her more time to focus on interest-based studies of Yoga, Herbalism, Aromatherapy, Mythology and Philosophy.
Megan uses food, movement, aesthetic and attunement to create balance and harmony in the body, mind and heart. She is devoted to her family, creativity, yogic practice and collective wellbeing.
