The Wild Peacery

The Wild Peacery is 63 acres of lakes, forests, and meadows in Michigan's Irish Hills—a living laboratory where peace isn't pristine or controlled, but wild, seasonal, and real. This is a space for women ready to restore their whole-person ecology through nature-based wisdom, holistic coaching, and embodied practice. Here, we learn what the land teaches: that healing happens in layers and sustainable growth begins when we create conditions for safety first.

Meet Megi

I'm Megi—river conservationist turned science teacher turned holistic health coach and land steward living on these 63 acres in Michigan's Irish Hills. I spent two years living on barges with Living Lands & Waters doing watershed restoration work, then seven years in the classroom teaching high school science and the interconnectedness of living systems. I thought I was teaching biology. I was actually learning about myself.

Eventually, my own ecosystem collapsed—single parenthood, PTSD, a nervous system that didn't feel safe in my own body. I tried all the conventional wellness approaches, but they treated symptoms. I needed deep, ecological restoration. So I combined my science background with somatic practices, nervous system work, and what the land keeps teaching me: that your body is an ecosystem too.

As a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, experienced yoga teacher, and someone who's rebuilt from collapse, I offer trauma-informed support that doesn't force growth or shame you into wellness. Instead, we remove what's invasive, create conditions for safety, and trust your body's natural intelligence. Because the same principles that restore rivers, forests, and damaged land also restore people. Healing isn't linear—it's seasonal, cyclical, and patient. Just like this land.
