About ME
Hey ya'll, I'm Megan Ethridge. I'm a registered nurse who's been in practice for the last 14 years. My first 11 years were spent in critical care and my last 3 years have been in hospice. Caring for others has always been deeply rooted in me; however, it wasn't until the birth of my beautiful boy that I began to question everything! I set out to find true healing medicine and therapies for him and have discovered a new passion for sharing all that I've learned with others. *I 100% know that this journey was God-ordained so that I could be HIS vessel in sharing this medicine with all*
I graduated from McNeese State University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2005. I discovered gemmotherapy in 2018 while researching healing for my son. I started working with Lauren Hubele in October 2018, began taking classes in January 2019, and was then invited to became an intern for her in August 2019.
I'm also currently enrolled in the Transformative Nurse Coach program! This course will give me the requirements needed to sit for 2 board-certified nurse coach exams!! I am VERY excited about what I've learned in order to better connect and journey with my clients as they work on healing and becoming the best version of themselves. PS: Being totally transparent, I'm also super excited about what I've learned and been able to apply to my own life, relationships, and family =) *HERE'S TO CONTINUALLY GROWING*
I am married to a wonderful husband who is the lighthouse in my life. We are blessed with one son who is dynamic, full of joy, and inquisitively curious. He definitely keeps us on our toes! We live on 2 acres in Southwest Louisiana and within a few miles of both of our parents! God, family, and football are life.
WHAT IS GEMMOTHERAPY?
Gemmotherapy is a fairly new, plant-based medicine discovered in Europe, in the 1950’s. The word gemmo is Latin for bud. In gemmotherapy, the bud (of the plant, not the flower) or young shoot or root, from a plant/tree/shrub, is picked at peak times, then put in an alcohol/glycerin solution for 30 days; this makes a macerate. The reason for using the plant buds/young shoots is they contain the entire essence of what a plant will be, roots, trunk, limbs, leaves, flowers, etc. These buds/young shoots also contain numerous amounts of minerals, vitamins, trace elements, enzymes, growth factors, antioxidants, and MERISTEM cells.
Meristem cells are similar to human stem cells; they are able to communicate with our human cells and deliver information to help restore a cell’s function. Gemmotherapy extracts give nourishment to our bodies by delivering nutrients to our cells. This was a huge ah-ha moment for me!!! Cells are the basic building blocks of life; if a cell is not functioning properly, then the tissue or organ is affected and also not functioning properly. Gemmotherapy drains (think lymphatic system) and cleanses the cells/organs it targets. Last but not least, gemmotherapy extracts also fortify (strengthen) those cells/tissues/organs for later. This is the only medicine, known at this time, to nourish, clean, communicate, and strengthen our bodies at the cellular level to help restore function. It’s a powerful, gentle, effective medicine that can be used on everyone no matter what age!
