Meet Megan

Megan Evans, founder of The MS Stage

Hi I’m Megan Evans, the Founder and Creator of The MS Stage and The MS Stage Method. I am so glad you found me and made it here. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 24 years old in the process of my first move between New York and LA. Over the course of just a few days I lost the feeling on the left side of my body, had terrible vertigo and couldn’t walk without losing my balance. That was 20 years ago.

I vividly remember my first neurologist telling me, “It’s as if you’ve had a stroke. You will most likely end up in a wheelchair one day.” I took one look at my mom and said, “No I won’t.” And we left his office never to return to him as my doctor. Does this sound familiar?

I wasn’t going to let someone who didn’t know me from Adam tell me how I was going to end up. I was going to take control and figure out a way on my own. When a family friend told me to get a handicap decal for my car, I said no. When people said I might want to join a support group. I said “no thank you”. It didn’t feel like it was for me, and I wasn’t ready to accept my diagnosis at the time. I felt confused and overwhelmed.

Over time, a lot has changed. I had a major aha moment in 2018 when I realized that I had been resisting my diagnosis for a very long time. That was when I had my worst MS exacerbation ever, which forced me to stop everything and reframe my story. Through deep meditation and therapy work, I finally fully accepted my diagnosis and agreed to start an MS medication - not just treat it through food, alternative medicine, and other healing modalities which were some of the only things I was doing before. It was then that through my love of theatre, dance, and mindfulness practices I discovered and created tools that really helped me.

That is why I created The MS Stage. I wanted to reach people like me around the world, whether they are newly diagnosed or experiencing it for a long time, who are in need of an empowering community and want to tap into their own healing powers and their MS story with a totally modern, creative, and mindful approach.

As a former personal wardrobe stylist for over a decade, I have been working on building confidence in women for a very long time. Some would say that has been my mission. Little did I know that creating The MS Stage would not only help women near and far build their confidence in ways better than I could have ever dreamt of, but also help my personal healing journey.

The MS Stage has allowed me to tap into something I resisted for over 14 years of my life and welcome a community of like minded people around me who want to take control of their lives and feel empowered, grateful, and inspired every day..

I am 43 now and live with my husband, Craig, and our rescue dog, Hawk, back in my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina after many years away in a special place called Folly Beach. I am still into eating a super clean diet - i.e. Wahls Protocol inspired, intermittent fasting, all organic, and lots of supplements. I turn off my wifi at night, meditate daily, often to one of my favorite teachers, Dr.Joe Dispenza I dance and exercise daily too. I have done these things and more for most if not all of my years, as I am incredibly dedicated to my body and well-being. For me now, it’s not an either or approach anymore. It’s a do everything you can and more!
