I am Unitarian Universalist minister, educator and social scientist living in Los Angeles, California with my wife and a cat named Emerson. The relationship between religion/spirituality and health is central to my vocation; it guides my work in community, congregational and academic settings. 

I have been practicing somatic self-healing as a white antiracist activist with the support of a coach for 10 years. I now share these practices with individuals, groups and congregations. In 2020, I completed coach training in embodied transformation through the Strozzi Institute and Coaches Rising. 

Currently, I am serve as the minister of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Santa Clarita Valley, near my home in Los Angeles. 

I am also a PhD Candidate (ABD) in Sociology (medical) at the University of California San Francisco. My research is focused on the relationship between religious/spiritual experiences and coping with chronic health conditions, such as heart disease.

Between 2010 and 2020, I taught courses and served as faculty advisor to theological students at Starr King School for the Ministry, a member school of the Graduate Theological Union, which is located in the East Bay near San Francisco, California, but includes students and faculty members located around the world. I now work with incoming seminary students in an online self-paced course called "Seminary 101".

I am committed to working at the interstices of multiple spaces: the academy, clinical practice, justice movements, communities of faith and the body. These loyalties have guided me to various exciting projects: teaching didactic seminars and participating in research symposia with hospital chaplains; creating a congregation-based support group model for people with chronic conditions; co-developing an immersion course trekking across Transylvania; leading trainings on class and classism for leaders; and witnessing trauma healing groups at a health promotion organization in El Salvador. It is a complicated thrill is to weave a life in a time of climate destruction, oppressive violence, increased technology and the persistent need for community.

I hold a BA in Society & Health from Simmons College in Boston and a MA in Ethics and Social Theory from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.

Hi! I'm Rev. Megan Visser.
