Our Mission
At Coyote Herbs and Acupuncture, we believe that acupuncture and herbal medicine are for everybody. We are here to serve every member of our weird and wonderful Hill Country community.
​
Holistic healthcare should be the norm in our society, not a luxury. That's why we provide competitive and fair rates for compassion-centered, research-driven care.
​
Acupuncture and herbal medicine are safe, effective and enjoyable. It's time to start prioritizing your health so that you can continue to do what you love and be there for those you love.
Megan McFarland, LAc. MAc CHM
Owner, Acupuncturist & Clinical Herbalist
I am a Texas Medical Board Licensed Acupuncturist, NCCAOM Diplomate, Chinese Herbalist and Certified Clinical Western Herbalist practicing in Southwest Austin, Texas.
​
As a practitioner, I am known for my attentive, individualized style of patient care and my competency in treating complex, chronic cases. Attention to the details of your health history and current wellbeing are my priority in designing and implementing a roadmap to achieve your health goals. Knowledgable in multiple styles of acupuncture and lineages of acupuncture theory, I tailor each treatment to my patient's current needs and am driven to see positive results in each and every case. Drawing from various holistic modalities including acupuncture, nutrition and herbal medicine, I strive to help my patients on and off the treatment table and empower them to make healthy lifestyle choices so that they may lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life, free from the restrictions of pain and dis-ease.
​
Born and raised in Southwest Austin, I received my four-year Master’s in Acupuncture with a Specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and my certificate in Clinical Western Herbalism from the Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine in Austin, Texas. I have additionally studied Master Tung style acupuncture in Chengdu, China with Dr. Lin Zheng Tai and reflexology and gua sha in Shaoguan, China. I have studied bioregional and folk herbalism with various teachers around the United States since 2012.
​
Having spent over a decade organic farming and studying natural medicine, I see good nutrition, supplementation, exercise, herbs and bodywork as foundational for health. I believe that vibrant health is our basic human condition, but sometimes that condition becomes obscured when we stop living our lives within a healthy and supportive environment in tune with our bodies’ daily needs. Life will undoubtedly put challenges on our path, but when we build resiliance through robust health, we can bend instead of break. As a practitioner, I am an advocate for your choice to be well and see my role as one helpful resource within your healthcare team.
Let’s work together to get you feeling wonderful and at peace.
