On the livingwhole FB page, she still claims to be an attorney. But OMG the comments especially this: Megan, your credentials are impeccable, your logic is inarguable, and the evidence is incontrovertible.

Are there really people who go to law school the entire time knowing they have no plans to take the bar or practice law?? Not a lawyer and don't have lawyers friends.
She was refuted, several times with several different articles. Revisionist history strikes again!
Honey, listen, you're just not that important. No one really cares about you. What they care about is that you misrepresented yourself. If you had just posted as Megan the Housewife (which is what you are, there's no shame in that), no one would have cared. Instead you inflated your importance, broke a couple of laws, and then started the martyrdom movement. Can you, for even just a little bit, stop with the lies? Or are you mentally incapable of doing so?

It might be possible, but it would really be something. She could have done two and a half years and graduated in the winter instead of the spring. She would have had to take summer classes both summers and usually, there are only a few.offered. So I took one summer class before third year. It met once a week for three hours and sucked. Secured Transactions. Awful. But yeah you could do that.
First year your classes are set for you. Everyone takes the same classes and you can't add or subtract classes. Second year, you have more freedoms, so you could pile on a bunch of classes and take them all at once, but I don't know how you'd get all the reading done. Then the summer classes, then load up fall semester of 2014....
I think the thing is that this would be a really bad idea at pretty much Amy law school other than Cooley and the other bottom feeders because you're law school grades are going to be on a bell curve so you need to be competitive in each class and how could you be if you're trying to graduate early and taking 21 credit hours?
She says Cooley has a two year program. See above.

Yes.
?? Seems like a colossal waste of time to me. You know people who did this?

Not to mention coming over here yesterday pretending she was someone else. We're moving into pathological liar territory here.

I know a person who I'm training with right now who has no plans to work as a psychologist, yet is getting her PsyD. Considering the train wreck I've been in this process, the expense, the time...I don't understand why anyone would put themselves through that for nothing.

I know a few that decided midway they didn't want to practice but didn't want to quit, so they decided to finish but not take a bar exam. I don't know any that went into it with no plans to get licensed.

I still think I'd sit for the bar when it's all still relatively fresh in my mind, get the license and then choose whether to use it. Just not sure how useful a J.D. alone really is.

One of my classmates did, I think. At least by second semester 1L year his plan was purely to go into politics. I'm pretty sure that was his plan all along. He's running for state assembly (I think?). I imagine he'll get it, too. I have another classmate who had decided by 2L year he wasn't going to practice. I think he wants to do public service, but it's kind of crazy because he's already twice published (and got a free trip to the Grammy Awards).
Actually, two of the most prestigious legal jobs--federal clerk and academia--often don't require bar passage. Those individuals know they're not lawyers, however.
Well, the 'M' an 'N' are RIGHT NEXT to each other on the keyboard. I'm SURE it's a typo.
I'd actually believe that since she so faithfully added "ND" to every other post she wrote. And I'd believe a chiro's office didn't know or didn't care about the difference between MDs and NDs. It's really that she put "Dr." before her name all over the Internet and called herself "doctor and attorney" anyway.

I know a woman who went to law school to meet a husband. And she wasn't even ashamed. Like, if you started taking and asked her what she wanted to do after she graduated, she would say, SAH.
LOL!! Hope she picked a good one and not the one saddled w/$100,000 in loans and no job. We did have 2 or 3 marriages out of my class alone.

LOL I would also like to know if this worked out for her!
She still calls herself an attorney in her description on the Living Whole FB page.
"Attorney, Traditional Doctor of Naturopathy, Natural Health Educator, Certified Yoga Instructor, writer, Mama of 4, wife to one, founder of LivingWhole.org"
I am so glad that she clarified that she only had one husband.
ETA: Now I see that thecatinthehat already pointed that out. I don't mind repeating the fact that Megan Heimer spreads misinformation.

LOL at the husband thing. Must be unusual to have just one husband and must be pointed out!
Hey everyone! I can now see why many parents are fearful of speaking out about vaccinations. Apparently attacking me is a lot more fun than attacking the substance of my posts. Since there has been so much mis-information circulating I thought I would clear things up:
I graduated from the University of Missouri in Kansas City at the age of 19. I then went to Thomas M. Cooley law school where I graduated with a Juris Doctor. No, it was not Harvard and yes it was the ONLY school I applied to because they had a 2 year program. And yes, it was hard. I do not practice law and I do not give legal advice (nor do I give medical advice). As my blog states I am a writer and stay at home mama and I try to write all my posts from a parent's / natural medicine perspective. Since there are people who feel that one cannot refer to themselves as a lawyer or attorney if they are not licensed to practice law...you can call me Megan. Like many people who graduate law school I have chosen to use my degree outside the realms of the "legal profession" and I have no intention of taking the bar exam in any state...ever.
I have also NEVER held myself out to be a Physician...specifically an M.D (nor would I want to). I cannot be held responsible for other websites that post my articles and attribute those titles, but do know that any article of said nature brought to my attention has received an email requesting that these credentials be corrected. I am a Naturopath and my degree is called a "Doctor of Naturopathy (N.D)." I went to the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education for three years and then did the Doctor of Naturopathy program through Trinity College of Natural Health. I was certified as a Natural Health Educator through the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education as well.
If these credentials or lack thereof turns you off to my writing or discredits the substance of my posts in any way...feel free to un "fan" me. If there is confusion as to the nature of my personal blog, please refer to the "About, Meet Megan, and Disclaimer" sections at LivingWhole.org
Someone.needs to let Patrick know that proboards had no right, NO RIGHT to take the initial post Megan Heimer wrote and ad Dr. and JD to it. Really, guys. That's just out of line to go around editing people's posts to add letters. Oh... wait.
Ellie has proof of this still, cached. The revisionist history is strong with this one.

my cousin did that - got a psych D and is a masseuse. She just wanted to "understand herself" and thought high level psychology courses would do that better than SEEING a psychologist. Needless to say, she's crazy.
Megan, you should be thanking us for helping you avoid this. I'm for real right now. This is what happens when you claim to be a doctor and are not licensed. Page 9:
Megan Heimer spreads misinformation that compromises public health.
Megan Heimer is not a doctor. Megan Heimer is not a lawyer. Megan Heimer has called herself both a doctor and a lawyer. These claims are false.
Megan Heimer claims that these are personal attacks. They are not personal attacks. Discrediting fake credentials is not a personal attack, nor is examining the credentials of a person and her educational institutions a personal attack. They are the actions of an educated public and informed citizen. A person researching his own physician, dentist, or college would do no less; an employer would do no less. In fact, she herself has encouraged people for years to be skeptical of the letters following people's names.
Megan Heimer has invented an alter-ego (fake account) on this site to continue to engage with us and validate her credentials because she wishes to continue being able to advise the public medically. A layman providing medical opinions, particularly about the treatment, prevention, and seriousness of infectious diseases, is dangerous.
Dr. Meganheimer, JD came to the board and demanded she remove the article due to copyright infringement *using her own full name* or she would get mad and come after us.
Board full of lawyers and other people started laughing their collective asses off at the "attorney" who signs with lots of unnecessary initials but to play nice she modified the entry and gave a link to a Google View draft.
Poor Dr. Meganheimer doesn't get the clickies she wants or needs for her website. Adult temper tantrum ensues.
She deactivates her account...which was her NAME.
She writes to Patrick threatening to sue for libel, harassment and whatever else she can throw against the wall that will stick a la cooking spaghetti theory of the practice of law.
More laughter and hilarity ensues. People start looking for her credentials and how scared we should be (not) and see that she's not even a lawyer. She did attend the worst law school in the nation because it's the only one she ever wanted to attend (yeah right) but never passed the bar. Her "doctorate" is questionable, in naturopathic medicine, and not from an accredited school of naturopathy. She's passing herself off as a licensed professional in two fields in which it is criminal to pass yourself off as a professional. Oh, gee, darn, the gal who is threatening to sue a board of attorneys isn't in fact an attorney but could have criminal penalties applied to herself.
Fan of Dr. Meganheimer, Korrin-some-number, "finds" our site, comes in to tell us how amazing the "doctor" is and she's followed her blog for years (yeah, it's her fourth or so blog and it hasn't been up for "years" to follow. Ergo, Korrin is Megan.
Ellie posts a "Hello Megan" because apparently she hasn't been to ML and doesn't know about ISPs and stuff like that. "Korrin" posted from our good friend Megan's computer.
More hilarity and the board has collectively decided we/they/it are/is annoyed that we deleted the initial thread with the comments and so a new thread was started to rebut her arguments and get the information out that the good "doctor" and "lawyer" is, in fact, neither a doctor nor a lawyer. Her "impeccable" credentials that she uses to sound more important and push her anti-vax, biblical medicine woo-theories are, in fact, not so impeccable.
She is now in the process of changing all the letters in her About Me-s that say she is a doctor and lawyer and Indian chief.
