What is
The most effective leaders today aren't
operating from burn out, they're strategic—they’re integrated.
They lead from all three centers of intelligence:
Emotional Regulation
Cognitive
Clarity
​UNLOCK your SQ
EXPAND your EQ
​REWIRE your IQ
Embodied Leadership
The intelligence formula that is your leadership advantage.
These are not soft skills—they're essential capacities for sustainable leadership. I work with seasoned professionals ready to lead decisively, with presence and purpose... not reactivity.​​
Harnessing the Power of Neurosomatic Leadership
The key to maximize your body's inherent wisdom to become a badass leader.
Intellectual (IQ)
Effective leaders rely on strong executive function—our brain’s capacity for planning, decision-making, multitasking, and staying focused under pressure. In fields like healthcare leadership, those with sharpened executive function make clearer, faster decisions when it matters most. Strategic clarity isn't just nice to have, it’s a leadership edge, especially when stakes are high.
​
Emotional (EQ)
Emotional intelligence, or the ability to perceive, understand, and regulate emotions in oneself and others, is strongly linked to leadership effectiveness. Research shows that EQ often outweighs IQ in predicting success, enabling leaders to manage stress, resolve conflict, and build cohesive, resilient teams. This isn’t soft—it’s essential.
Somatic (SQ)
Somatic intelligence is the ability to sense and regulate one’s bodily awareness and response. It’s increasingly recognized as a key factor in effective leadership presence. Leaders who stay connected to their physical state tend to navigate pressure with more clarity, reduced reactivity, and create steadier environments for their teams. Master this and you will command the room.
In 30 minutes, we will identify a core issue creating your stress-related symptoms.

GIFT: A tailored practice that will yield RESULTS.
What You'll Gain:
Transformational Leadership

Well-Being
Recover from burnout and lead with grounded, regulated, and embodied energy.
Empowered Decision-Making
Reconnect with your intuition to make confident, inspired, and values-aligned choices.
Sustainable Growth
Integrate well-being into leadership to drive long-term impact across your organization.
It’s time to lead yourself
the same way.
You lead others with care.
High performance at the cost of personal depletion isn't sustainable, and it doesn't have to be the norm. If your leadership feels effective but exhausting, there’s a better way.

Hello!
My name is Megan McDonald, founder and CEO of Soma-Q.
Not long ago, I was exactly where many professionals find themselves today—stressed, overworked, and disconnected from my own well-being. As a healthcare technology sales executive, I thrived in high-pressure environments, becoming a subject matter expert in controlling chaos while also producing results. One of my greatest joys was to lead teams with compassion and kindness. But beneath the surface, corporate culture and relentless demands took their toll, leading to burnout and a health crisis that forced me to reevaluate everything.​
Like most people, life has handed me some intense personal and professional setbacks that at times left me isolated, angry, confused, depleted, and wracked with body pain and sleepless nights - sound familiar? Discovering somatic practices became my lifeline—not just a regimen or routine - but a path to reclaiming my unique essence that led to me to discovering clarity, vitality, and purpose. What began as a personal pursuit soon turned into years of deep study—an investment of time and resources that rivaled a master’s degree.
​
Today, as a retired healthcare executive, I combine my leadership experience with my passion for well-being to help individuals and organizations thrive. The wellness playbook we've been taught and practiced is outdated and needs a rewrite.
With neuroscience and evidence-based research, I have created toolsets that create trustworthy, supportive, and approachable spaces where people feel safe to explore new ways of leading, living, and working. My human-centric approach is honest, compassionate and dependable, ensuring that those who work with me feel valued, empowered and heard. ​
My passion is to teach foundational, repeatable, and scalable life-changing practices that result in you leading your own way to a life you can be excited about and proud of - to leave your mark the way you were meant to make it!
