About me

Hello! I’m Margaret. I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you heal and find your inner light.

I’ve always felt a deep connection to all things healing. My Ojibwe heritage and love for nature have resonated in my soul for as long as I can remember. As a child, the woods were my sanctuary—I would spend hours among the trees, creating stories and finding comfort in the presence of animals. While those early moments in nature brought peace, my middle and high school years were more difficult. I often felt like an outsider—isolated and alone. It was a challenging chapter in my life.

After high school, I moved to Colorado for college, where the mountains became a source of healing during some of my most difficult times. It was there that I discovered Reiki. In 1997, I received my Reiki I attunement—an initiation that opened the door to my energy healing journey. I was instantly drawn in. Around that time, I also bought my first Tarot deck, began practicing yoga and dance, and started exploring meditation. I eventually graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Theater, one of my lifelong passions. Without a job lined up, I returned to my home state of Minnesota to figure out my next steps.

Back in Minnesota, I struggled to find where I truly belonged. I was often told to “get a real job,” so I tried on different roles—youth work, admin jobs, food service, even a position at a health club—but nothing ever felt quite right. No job felt like home. At the time, energy healing was still unfamiliar to most people, and I didn’t feel safe sharing that part of myself. Though I continued to quietly practice Reiki I for me and read cards for a few close friends, I mostly kept it hidden. It felt too risky to show the world the real me.

In 2008, I felt a strong calling to help others in a deeper way. I went back to school, earned my Master’s in Counseling, and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I’ve always been a compassionate listener, and stepping into this field felt like a natural extension of who I am. From the beginning, I dreamed of one day blending my counseling background with the healing practices that had always been close to my heart.

In 2011, I became pregnant, and around 15 weeks in, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. It was an incredibly difficult time—I eventually had to be hospitalized on bedrest. My son was born via emergency C-section at just 28 weeks, and my recovery was long and challenging. He spent six weeks in the NICU, and I was there with him every day—singing, holding him, reading to him, and simply watching as he grew stronger. Despite his progress, I struggled. I fell into depression and anxiety, and the trauma of the experience left me with PTSD. Even after he came home, I remained stuck in survival mode for years, just taking it one day at a time.

In 2015, I gave birth to my second son. This time, I made it to 37 weeks before having another C-section. When he was born, he wasn’t breathing at first—but the moment they brought him close to my face and he heard my voice, he took his first breath. It was a powerful, emotional moment I’ll never forget.

For the next few years, I was fully immersed in motherhood. It became my whole world, and I moved through it one day at a time. The sleepless nights, midnight feedings, endless appointments—PT, OT, NICU follow-ups—along with cooking, cleaning, and trying to keep everything together. I was doing my best to stay afloat, even when it felt overwhelming.

By 2017, I had two beautiful, healthy boys—but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. I found myself asking, Where was Margaret? What happened to the light I used to carry? Each day felt heavy with responsibilities, and I was constantly overwhelmed. So, I began therapy, committed to doing the inner work, and spent time reflecting deeply. Through that soul-searching, I realized I still had a strong desire to help others—especially those who might be going through what I had experienced. I knew I wanted to return to a healing path, but I also knew I wasn’t ready to step back into traditional mental health work.

I decided to enroll in yoga teacher training, drawn back to something that had always been a saving grace for me. On the mat, I felt like myself again—many times shedding quiet tears during Savasana. The training deepened my connection to healing as I studied chakras, meditation, pranayama, yoga anatomy, and more. Throughout the program, I experienced powerful moments of clarity and self-discovery. I began to truly understand who I was and why I was here, and it became clear that I was finally walking the right path. While the overall experience wasn’t everything I had hoped for, it connected me with others who shared a passion for yoga, introduced me to incredible teachers who worked with energy and chakras, and sparked a deep love for meditation.

I truly believe that it is my divine purpose to help others on their healing journeys. I am excited to step fully into my light and share my gifts with the world. My hope is to guide others in finding their own inner light and shining brightly.

I created Rose Moon Healing to support others in their healing process. Each session I offer is unique and personalized, designed with your individual needs in mind. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support your growth.
