Meet Morgan. A licensed architect, ivy league graduate, certified meditation teacher, and mother of two fierce little girls; Lily and Violet.

Morgan is a former people pleaser with a type-A personality who climbed the corporate ladder as quickly as possible. As an owners representative at one of the top medical campuses in America, Morgan had the unique opportunity of hiring and working first hand with several female architects. What she noticed would change the trajectory of her career path: The females who knew how to manage their stress were thriving.

When Morgan started managing her stress, learning how to set boundaries and create balance, both her professional and personal career began to flourish. She was able to negotiate a higher salary, longer maternity leave, and step into a director role, all while raising a family and have hobbies.

Fast forward to today, Morgan has helping women in the architecture industry design and build successful lives and careers without burnout out. And this is how The Healthy Architect, LLC was born.
