Meet Megan Intfen, Advanced Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner and member of the EEMCP Faculty

I am an energy medicine practitioner, teacher, health coach, and forever student. I am interested in alchemy, quantum physics and neuroscience. I believe in magic, and I believe in science. The techniques I use have survived thousands of years because they work. The more people I can persuade to try energy medicine, the better off the world will be.

How did I get here?

My story isn’t extreme or harrowing. In fact, it’s probably pretty familiar to many of you. I was the typical twenty-something in NYC, drinking and drugging my way through life with a lack of ambition, extra weight, low self-confidence, a crappy job and frequent bouts of depression.   

My interest in health and wellness was piqued by a random decision to quit using birth control pills after being on them for nearly a decade. Little did I know, I was giving my mind and body a huge gift.  

A few months after quitting birth control, I had lost about thirty pounds. I was thinking more clearly, making better decisions, noticeably happier and free of my crazy mood swings. I had not changed my diet or begun exercising. The only explanation was that the hormones in my birth control pills had been poisoning me. From this day on, I began studying holistic nutrition and taking an active interest in my wellbeing.

I found a health coach who inspired me to get my life together, from what I ate to how I viewed myself. Shortly after hiring her, I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. My self-study of nutrition and wellness became an obsession and I knew that this was the world for me. At the same time, I had a hard time finding mentors. I was not interested in being a hard-bodied yoga devotee. I was a tattooed derby girl who still enjoyed a moderate relationship with whiskey. I wanted to inspire all types of people to choose health and happiness without assimilating into toxic diet culture. My health coaching practice, Saucy Girl Wellness, was born.

After a couple of years in the health coaching field, I was beginning to study other health and healing modalities, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reiki and Eden Energy Medicine. I saw my clients do everything right with food and exercise and still hit walls. I knew there were deeper issues that coaching couldn’t reach and I wanted to help my clients uncover and heal those issues. I got certified in Reiki, and later Eden Energy Medicine, and relaunched as an energy practitioner. While coaching remains an integral part of the practice, I now have a giant toolbox of hands-on techniques that allow my clients to overcome blocks and energetic imbalances they may not even know they have.  

I’ve now been practicing and teaching for well over a decade, and have been honored to be a part of the Eden Method faculty. Training new practitioners to help others with this work is one of the highlights of my career.

The most important thing I learned on my journey (so far!) is that we all have the power to change our lives. We all are capable of being ridiculously satisfied when we wake up each morning. We are even able to heal ourselves from disease, chronic illness and deeply embedded trauma. My goal is to introduce everyone to that power.
