I know what it feels like when you’re confused, overwhelmed with advice and information, and scared that you won’t get to experience motherhood. That’s why I made the decision to dedicate my whole career to fertility.
It makes me happy knowing that every day, I help to create life and to make someone’s dream of parenthood come true.
The decision to study Chinese medicine and acupuncture was a return to my roots: I was born in China, and my mother was a Chinese medicine doctor. (She now practices in Charlotte and helps out around the office.) Her work exposed me to medicine from an early age. I remember drinking—shall we say “strong-smelling” herbs whenever I got sick, and despite the lousy smell, they always worked.
With a doctor in the family, I hadn’t considered a career in Chinese medicine until I had to turn to acupuncture and herbology as an adult when I had trouble with my own health. I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and I didn’t want to take birth control pills because that was a Band-Aid and not a solution. I also didn’t understand much about the condition because my doctor at the time said “Can’t do anything about it, just ride it out.” Despite the struggles, Chinese medicine worked for me!
After that experience, I knew I’d found my mission to help others, especially women. I knew that I wanted to help them work through their challenges and to achieve their goals with less stress, anxiety, and heartache.
I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to work with you. I know that together we’ll get there by jumping over hurdles one by one. I don’t believe in infertility. I believe that all women are essentially fertile and that you ultimately have the power to take action, take charge, and become pregnant.

I was told growing up my irregular and uncomfortable symptoms were normal and easily fixed with a pill, but I always knew there was another way, a way that aligned with my beliefs and addressed the true imbalance at hand.
While in acupuncture school, I went on a journey to understand my symptoms and with the knowledge from Traditional Chinese Medicine, I began to feel the best I’ve ever felt in my life. Now I feel very confident my diagnosis of PCOS will not hold me back from becoming a mother in the future.
My passion is to help you harness your healing capabilities to reach your health and fertility goals- whatever that might look like to you.

MEET MEREDITH
I have always been a passionate advocate for women’s health. From personal experiences to witnessing women in my life struggle to receive the care they deserve, I realized early on that Western medicine often falls short in meeting women’s unique needs. This inspired my belief in the power of an integrative approach to healthcare.
I became an acupuncturist with a particular interest in treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder, which is just a fancy way of saying low libido. Early in my career, I worked at The Yinova Center in Manhattan, a renowned fertility and women’s health-focused acupuncture clinic. During this time, I discovered a deep passion for supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care, though I remain equally enthusiastic about treating a wide range of conditions.
After gaining valuable clinical experience, I felt drawn to open my own practice doing house calls in New York City. I found that in a city as energetically charged as New York City, house calls were a necessity. I loved bringing peace and healing to my patients’ doorsteps (and I also loved meeting everyone’s dogs!)
I decided to move to Charlotte to be closer to nature, which brings me to Inner Peace. Above all, I’m dedicated to creating a space where you feel supported and cared for. Healing is a journey, and I’m honored to be a part of yours!

When I trying to conceive I was diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis. I was devastated without an understanding of what this meant for my body and the possibility of pregnancy seemed out of reach. I wasn’t given many alternatives aside from ovulatory medications and IUI. Eventually, after another obstacle, male factor infertility entered the discussion and we were told that IVF was our only option.
I began reaching other options, other modalities, there had to be another way! It was then that I discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine! I dove straight into learning the ins and outs of TCM and how this traditional medicine didn’t view my PCOS and endometriosis the same way I was taught to view it. Instead with TCM I was able to approach my PCOS and Endometriosis as symptoms of an underlying and treatable condition.
TCM and the Practically Fertile® Methodology developed by Dr. Wei lead me to two successful pregnancies, restored my cycles and reversed my PCOS.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to become certified in the methodology that I believed in and trusted in that had its foundations rooting in TCM. That’s what brought me here today, a fertility coach able to help other women on the same journey. And to bring hope and guidance to that same journey that no longer needs to feel impossible!
