Megan is a longtime resident of the Petoskey area and is delighted to begin serving her community as a massage therapist. She began her professional career in social work serving the greater Petoskey area.  After welcoming her first child, Megan experienced both physical and emotional challenges postpartum and decided to step back from social work to allow time and space for her body and mind to heal. 

During this time of healing and then welcoming her second child, she experienced the benefits of bodywork, which not only supported her physical and mental recovery from the first pregnancy, but significantly improved her recovery from the second pregnancy. This ignited a desire to pursue massage therapy in hopes of providing women with the same skilled bodywork she received from her massage therapist. 

What began as a single focus of wanting to provide massage for pregnant and postpartum women expanded as Megan completed her training. She found that she loved creating a safe space for women to destress, find relief from pain and tension, learn how to relax and prioritize caring for their bodies. She learned to listen and to take a humble and curious approach as she worked cooperatively to help her female clients find relief from discomfort. Megan’s mission is to continue to develop her skills to provide skillful and compassionate bodywork for women not only during pregnancy and postpartum, but in all stages of life.       

Megan completed her training in massage therapy in April of 2024 followed by the completion of a Health and Life Coaching certification from the Health Coaching Institute in May of 2024. Additionally, she is beginning the process of becoming a Certified Prenatal Massage Therapist in order to elevate the quality of bodywork she can offer to prenatal and postpartum women. When she isn’t practicing massage therapy, Megan enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, camping, hiking, cooking and gardening in beautiful northern Michigan.

Upon finishing her massage education in 2013 from Blue Heron Academy of Healing Arts & Science in Grand Rapids she found she was eager to be back in the woods of Northern Michigan and close to water. Her first year of working as a massage therapist was spent in a chiropractor's office and she is thankful for a strong clinical foundation. 

In 2014 she moved to back Petoskey, created Stillwater Massage, and has found fulfillment in watching the clientele and her depth of practice grow since then. Being invited into a healing process is an honor that inspires Gwyn into a deeper understanding of the human body and how to facilitate her clients' restoration further. Gwyn's focal point of her massage practice and its development is creating an atmosphere for healing by offering therapeutic touch and genuine care for her clients. 

When she's not working with clients Gwyn enjoys spending her time hiking, camping, and many more outdoor activities.

In 2015 Evie became a certified personal trainer with the mission to teach clients how to become and stay active through various modes of exercise. She spent countless hours studying orthopedic exercise and reviewing muscles that impair and encourage improper and painful movement. Evie was able to apply this knowledge to herself as an active individual in and outside of the gym, and she quickly discovered the importance and benefits of massage for physical and psychological function. In 2017 she graduated from massage school and has been eager to help people find or maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. Since 2017, Evie has been learning and practicing therapeutic and sports massage to keep people (and herself) moving and maintaining their health. Whether your love is hiking in the woods or squatting a personal best, Evie would love to help you along your journey.

When Evie isn’t practicing massage, you will find her training clients in the gym, coaching in health and nutrition, or studying to increase her knowledge. You may also find her working on her bench, squat, and deadlift, getting lost in the woods with her two hound dogs Mack and Olive, or behind her sewing machine expressing her creative side.
