I’m a fulfillment teacher & coach, and I love this title, considering where I come from..
I’m an ex-clinical psychologist—I got my PsyD (clinical psychology doctorate) in 2003 and received my license to practice in 2005; I practiced as a psychologist for 17 years, working in community mental health, private practice, group practice, crisis intervention, integrative health, and in academia as core faculty. But I ended up finding the best tools for transformation outside the field of clinical psychology, and intentionally let my license go in 2022.*
Now, I utilize cognitive/mental inquiry, embodiment meditation, energy healing & spiritual/nondual pointers for awakening, healing, and finding your unique fulfillment.*
Our sessions focus on relieving your suffering, and helping you access your natural freedom and built-in gifts. We are aiming for your total sovereignty and fulfillment, not just symptom recovery (though that occurs!). I’ve found it is possible for all of us to release from our mind's grip, and from the pain and stress we feel when we believe our thoughts. This process necessitates a guide, however; we don’t heal alone. It’s my joy and privilege to be that guide.
I work with people of every stripe. My clients range in age from 20ys to 84yrs old & their backgrounds, identities, interests, and orientations are varied, though they all share open-mindedness and a willingness to transform—to let the truth of their Being, and not their conditioning, run the show. The transformation stories of my clients inspire me every day. If you’re reading this, you too are capable of transformation. And, best news of all, it’s an enjoyable process. Fun, even.
I welcome you to check out my free meditation series Simple Being—you can meditate with me right now, with dozens of meditations to choose from. I also encourage you to check out my short essays; they will give you a sense of how I think and work.

* Beyond my doctorate in clinical psychology, I am trained in several energy psychology methods, and hold certificates in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and A&R (Ask & Receive). I’ve watched thousands of hours of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Adyashanti, Gangaji, Paul Hedderman, Fred Davis and other nondual teachers. I completed Judith Blackstone’s Realization Process workshop (an embodiment process for awakening), and I worked with Kiran Trace, a nondual/spiritual teacher, for 7 years, including as one of her master-level coaches.
Bonus trainings: I am trained in Bollywood dance; I taught a Bollywood cardio class and performed at outdoor festivals for several years in Chicago. I also taught Chicago-style improv to my graduate students, alongside my hilarious ex husband Michael. I’m retired from both endeavors, but I’m open to coming out of retirement! ;)
* My definition of fulfillment:
The relaxing and joyful realization of one’s truest nature as Life or God/dess itself, alongside the realization of our unique, embodied desires; included is the inner knowing that both experiences are natural & everlasting.
Testimonials
“I look at Meghan as one of the most powerful tools in my toolbox. She’s like a drillbit that gets used on the hardest rocks presented to me.”
-TS, Chicago, IL
“Working with Dr. Roekle has opened my eyes to a new world and way of living. Her warm demeanor and unapologetic sense of humor makes it easy to feel safe and supported in her presence. She has helped me to find the sources of my anxiety, to challenge my fears, and to identify lingering emotional pain from my past. She taught me to live my truth and to love myself unconditionally. I would highly recommend Dr. Roekle!”

“I have been working with Meg since 2017; since that time, my life has shifted in incredible ways. There is so much more love, fulfillment, ease, connection and joy in my life. She met me where I was at—as an equal—and she never asked me to show up any other way than my authentic self. Meg was the gateway into a life I have come to cherish rather than avoid, and now every aspect of my being continues to shift, as she continually helps me access my truest nature. This woman lives what she teaches, and I am constantly inspired by her gentle brilliance in walking me home.”

"Dr. Roekle helped me clear out my mental clutter, and uncover the truths in my life. She has given me the most important gifts I could have ever received: the tools to navigate the uncertainty of life; and the knowledge that everything is just as it should be. Sure, I still struggle, but I am now better equipped to deal with my thoughts and feelings. Dr. Roekle is such an important part of my life, and it's a true blessing to be a part of hers."
-DC, Chicago, IL
"When I first visited Meghan, I was looking for tools that would help me deal with some stress and anxiety in my life that had started to affect my health. What I found were the tools I was looking for - and much more. What I was not expecting was that our conversations, and the resources Meghan provided, would lead me to a completely new outlook on life as a whole, and enable me to find a connection between the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual dimension. It has not only given me a new understanding of the processes that are causing stress and anxiety, but a much deeper and holistic way to grow as a person in general."
-BO, Corpus Christi, TX
"Dr. Roekle is an exceptionally gifted therapist. When I was referred to her practice I almost didn't recognize the fearful being I had become, frozen in a state of existential despair. Though I felt extremely vulnerable and was foreign to quality therapy at that time, it didn't take long for me to relax into Dr. Roekle's kind presence and respectful curiosity that clearly wanted to help me feel better. As a self-described "piece of work" during our first session, my whole self--intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical--soon found a safe harbor of support in Dr. Roekle's care. After several conversations, in addition to somatic meditations, we were able to unravel a complex tangle of traumas that had accumulated in my body. Due to Dr. Roekle's agile and intuitive guidance, including her creativity and wonderful sense of humor, I've been able to process and let go of so many layers of painful conditioning. My natural state has found its way back home to the simple peace of embodied awareness. Life has so much capacity for joy now. I'm forever grateful for the grace of finding Dr. Roekle's practice."
-WM, Los Angeles, CA
"Three years ago I met Dr. Roekle. I was at the lowest point of my life, recovering from a major health threat, fired from my job and in the midst of a divorce from my wife of 18 years. This was my mental state of mind when I first entered the calming warmth of Dr. Roekle’s office. She slowly gained my trust and I opened up to her revealing my life, both positive and negative tendencies. And she NEVER passed judgement. The time would fly by far too fast and before we knew it, my session was over. Dr. Roekle patiently stitched my fragmented mind back together leaving behind this new found knowledge that has helped me avoid further mistakes. These tools I will forever carry with me. I can never thank her enough, so yes I highly recommend this amazing wise and caring therapist."
