The need to share her tai chi experience with others was strong, so she started classes with the local Parks & Recreations in Fluvanna County and Louisa County. Meghan also taught at local country clubs, who were very supportive in sharing Tai Chi with their members. She also enjoyed teaching at Piedmont Virginia Community College and at a local time share called Shenandoah Crossings.

Meghan has presented several times at VAACE( VA Adult Continuing Education Conference), and other literacy conferences. She has also shared at VAs Activities Directors Conference for retirement communities. She was also asked to participate at local celebrations(Family Days in Louisa County, World Laughter Day in Staunton), Retirement Fairs and even her State Senate. She has held Qigong/ Tai Chi Celebrations since 2007 and has collaborated with other instructors of movement to create workshops to help introduce people to their forms.

Meghan has also enjoyed providing demo classes to several at risk areas in the Charlottesville Area. Local health support groups are now asking her to share tai chi and it help things like Parkinsons and cancer.
