Hi LJW Family!
I’m Megan Nielsen — wife, mom of three, dog mom of two, Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), Registered Nurse (RN), and NASM Certified Nutrition & Wellness Coach.
I grew up in a small town and graduated from Kearney, Missouri, before setting off into the world of nursing — a journey that’s taken me from the fast-paced intensity of ER and Trauma nursing to my current role as a Hospitalist Family Nurse Practitioner. My path has now come full circle, bringing me back home to the Kansas City area, where my roots, family, and purpose all feel aligned again.
Through every patient, every long shift, and every life chapter, I’ve witnessed the incredible strength of the human body and spirit — but also how easy it is to lose yourself while caring for everyone else. For years, I poured into others while quietly running on empty. Somewhere between motherhood, work, and life’s beautiful chaos, I realized that to truly care for others, I had to start caring for myself again. That’s when I found LJW — and everything began to shift.
I started as a client with LJW in 2024, just doing the dumbbell workouts. When I wanted to achieve more of my goals, I decided to dive deeper into the nutritional journey in January 2025 under the guidance and support of our very own Libby. Yet, my endless thirst for knowledge didn’t stop there — I pursued my NASM certification in Nutrition, recognizing that while nursing provides a broad overview, it rarely touches the true depth of nutritional science and how it transforms daily life.
Taking a leap of faith, I reached out to Lexi, wanting to give back all that I have received from this incredible community. What started as a personal transformation has grown into a passion to help others find the same strength, balance, and belief in themselves that LJW helped me rediscover.
Now, I’m honored to walk alongside women who are ready to show up for themselves — to find confidence, balance, and joy from the inside out. I’m endlessly grateful to be part of this empowering community that continues to remind us we are capable, worthy, and never alone on this journey.
With love and gratitude,
Megan
