My name is Megan McDonald, founder and CEO of Soma-Q.
Not long ago, I was exactly where many professionals find themselves today - stressed, overworked, and disconnected from my own well-being. As a healthcare technology executive, I thrived in high-pressure environments, becoming a subject matter expert in controlling chaos while also producing results. One of my greatest joys was to lead teams with compassion and kindness. But beneath the surface, corporate productivity culture and relentless demands took their toll, leading to burnout and a health crisis that forced me to reevaluate everything.​
​
Like most people, life has handed me some intense personal and professional setbacks that at times left me isolated, angry, confused, depleted, wracked with body pain and sleepless nights. Does this feel familiar? Discovering how to regulate my nervous system with tools and methodologies, I began to unwind the damage that years of chronic stress created in my body. This journey of unwinding was not just a regimen or routine - it was a path to reclaiming my unique essence that led to me to discovering clarity, vitality, and purpose. What began as a personal pursuit soon turned into years of deep study and an investment of time and resources that rivaled a PhD.
Founder, Soma-Q
Today, I combine my executive and servant-led leadership experience with my passion for well-being to help individuals and organizations thrive. The wellness playbook we've been taught and practiced is outdated and needs a rewrite.
With neuroscience and evidence-based research, I have created toolsets that create trustworthy, supportive, and approachable spaces where people feel safe to explore new ways of leading, living, and working. My human-centric approach is honest, compassionate and dependable, ensuring that those who work with me feel valued, empowered and heard. ​
My passion is to teach foundational, repeatable, and scalable life-changing practices that result in you leading from response, not reactivity. To leave your mark the way you were meant to make it - authentic, compassionate, kind, and unique!
