Several years ago, Meredith realized that over half of her patients were seeing her for infertility. On top of that, almost 3/4 of her patients were seeking treatments for women's health in general, thus began her journey into the world of fertility and the birth of the Natural Fertility Center of Pennsylvania. Her vision has always been one of total well being- inside and out. Her caring and patience is obvious from the first visit. She has become very active in the fertility world making strong connections with many of the Reproductive Endocrinologists in the greater Philadelphia area. She is also an active member and volunteer for Resolve: The National Infertility Association.

Meredith is active in the community and in the forefront of public education about acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
