Your ancestor's trauma, experiences, and resilience is a part of you. When you learn about their lives, you learn more about your own.

Hi! I'm Megan Hillyer

--- Professional Genealogist and Ancestral Story Weaver

I believe that anyone can gain power and understanding from discovering and integrating the stories of their ancestors into their present life. As a professional genealogist, I know the possibilities that are there for us to heal generational patterns through uncovering the realities that our ancestors experienced.

As I began my education as a genealogist, I knew I needed to share what I was learning with others. I found great strength in my own life as I learned about the lives of my ancestors. After obtaining a degree in Family History Research in 2020, I have helped hundreds learn how to research and build their own family trees. 

Recently, I have discovered the clarity that can come from truly understanding where we come from. Through online courses and client research, I can help you find that too.

This is my message

You can feel strength, guidance, and healing through knowing your ancestors' stories.

Your ancestors' spirits still exist. They are here among us. They are your angels. They are your guides. When you know their stories, you are better able to feel their strength. You are better able to recognize their help. And, you are better able to call on them, because you know their experience can help you.

Through looking at historical records, you can find their stories. You can begin to understand their choices, and you can begin to heal generational trauma.
