My WomanSpeak journey started as I held
a desire to be seen and to be heard.
Hi, I'm Megan
an Aussie Gal, who has been living in the UK full time since February 2020.
Back in 2010 I ran away from home. I was 46 at the time, my two sons Timothy and Luke had finished high school and were independent.
Fortune had it, one day in 2009 I came across a cheap airline ticket from Australia to London for just £120 . You read it right just £120! It was just a one way journey but that was all I needed as I could come to the UK on an ancestral visa. And as I held a desire for many years to live in the UK I jumped on it.
I first moved to the UK 2010 and worked and lived in various places however a desire to move on from a job led me to take a job in Istanbul. This decision took me on a journey that broke me open. A roller coaster ride of emotional turmoil. I lived there for five months it was a time of great transformation.
Since Turkey I have lived in Australia again, the UK again , South Korea, Australia again, Bali and then back to the UK again 😊
Dorset has been my home for four years now. I'm very settled however so wish I could have my Australian life too. Below is a continuation of my WomanSpeak journey...

Back to my journey...
For many years I'd been looking for a way to feel comfortable and proficient in sharing the wisdom I had acquired from the unique transformational experiences I have undergone, by taking many roads 'less travelled' during my life.
Immediately I knew I had found something really special and profound - A female centric program which acknowledges and empowers women. Assisting them to rise to their fullest expression.
Attending this WomanSpeak circle offered a safe container to bring voice to my desires and wisdom. Enabling me to feel extremely comfortable with my innate knowledge and power.
It was a blessing to find the WomanSpeak program, as well as Chantal Roelofs my circle leader and all the amazing women in my WomanSpeak circle. With Chantal’s affirming guidance, I underwent a 16 month transformational journey and obtained my WomanSpeak Certification.
In 2018 I attended a WomanSpeak foundation course with WomanSpeak founder KC Baker. Experiencing KC’s teaching from her personally supported me in embracing and embodying the power of this work.
Residing in West Dorset UK since 2020 - On first arriving I was fortunate to live and work as a member of The Othona Community.
Which offers spirituality and community in an outstandingly beautiful location, east of Burton Bradstock.
Hosting and holding workshops and retreats, the community offers visitors a place to take time away from the stresses of their lives. Allowing them the opportunity to rest, learn, grow and have time of contemplation.
The retreat house was an ideal place to develop myself in many areas. I hosted and facilitated retreats supporting people in their own spiritual and personal development.
Settling into my new life in Dorset is something I have welcomed wholeheartedly. I am now focusing on developing my skills in storytelling/poetry and speech craft.
I have found a new love in the spoken word world. I am a member and Communications Director of a poetry collective called The Jawbone Collective.
As a WomanSpeak licensed Circle leader gives me an opportunity to support women locally and globally to fully live into their truest expression!
My WomanSpeak journey started because I had a desire to be seen and to be heard. However, I have to confess that I spent much of my childhood, teenage years and aspects of my adult life hiding. So much so that many people did not remember meeting me.
Does this sound familiar?
A word from Chantal my WomanSpeak Circle Leader
