Meghan Rose Nolan, LAc. MACOM, RYT

​Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MACOM)

Licensed Acupuncturist & Herbalist

Meghan followed a heartfelt journey from financial analyst in Manhattan, NY to fulfill her calling of becoming a licensed Acupuncturist + Herbalist. She began her professional career in private practice & under the mentorship of Dr. Yan Lu in beautiful Portland, OR before love and life brought her to Denver, Colorado.

From a young age, Meghan witnessed the health crises of close family members, including hypothyroidism, diabetes, heart disease and colon cancer, and was herself diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome at the age of 16. Following these experiences, Meghan spent a short lifetime studying all aspects of the human experience and how they impact us physically, mentally and spiritually, which is how she encountered Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine.

Having also completed over 300 hours of yoga teacher training with study in both New York and India, Meghan moved to Portland in 2017 and earned her Master’s degree in Chinese Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, and completed her capstone research study on the use of electro-acupuncture and motor function recovery. Over 13 years of study in body mechanics, functional medicine and hundreds of miles trekked solo around the globe inform Meghan’s treatments to effectively restore freedom of movement and cultivate resilience in mind, body and spirit.

In practice, Meghan holds an affinity for working with orthopedic injury, chronic pain, digestive health, autoimmune & neurological conditions, metabolic disorders, reproductive health, post-partum recovery, genitourinary and psycho-emotional regulation for which Chinese Medicine can be a champion. (Please also see conditions treated).

Meghan is able to address a wide range of conditions and tailor treatments to meet patient’s specific needs and constitution by drawing upon her own attuned and intimate understanding of how stress, injury, dis-ease and energetics affect the body in addition to a broad scope of training that encompasses Shiatsu & Tuina massage, advanced orthopedic and Japanese acupuncture techniques and adjunct “non-needle” therapies such as moxibustion, cupping, gua sha and teishin work. Meghan is also board certified in Chinese herbal medicine.

Growing up Italian-American, food was and is a central part of Meghan’s life and she has a special area of interest as an integrative health coach in helping her patients discover food as medicine. Through close mentorship and counsel related to food, lifestyle and movement, Meghan aims to impart her patients with the ability to experience a deeper and more vibrant experience of health guided by both the philosophical theory and practical application of Chinese medicine as a path to reclamation, peace and healing of the authentic self.

Outside the clinic, Meghan can be found taking on DIY projects, culinary and herbal research, reading, or is out and about with her partner Salil and their dog Penny exploring the mountains and many a music venue. She is excited to have found a healing space with the team at Denver Integrated Therapies and community in Denver, CO. She is most grateful for her supportive parents, her mentorship under Dr. Yan Lu and post-graduate studies in the clinical strategies of Kiiko Matsumoto.
