Awards
Pioneer Award
Meredith gained recognition for her groundbreaking contributions at Pulling Down the Moon, a holistic care center focusing on fertility, pregnancy, and family health in the Chicago and Baltimore/DC regions. She pioneered the development of a cutting-edge Fertility Enhancement Massage (FEM) protocol, which she later trademarked. Shady Grove Fertility in Maryland, the largest Reproductive Endocrinology Center in the U.S., acquired this protocol. Meredith also established a comprehensive FEM Apprentice Program for Massage Therapists initially limited to PDtM staff. However, in 2018, PDtM extended the FEM education to all licensed massage therapists, launching the first class as a webinar. Notably, her protocol has earned 35 CEUs from NCBTMB.

27 SEP WCW- Meredith Nathan
Excited about my WCW, Meredith Nathan, who introduced me to a valuable networking group. She's a massage therapist and creator of the Fertility Enhancing Massage (FEM) Protocol, offering a unique education opportunity. Meredith's commitment to helping couples achieve healthy pregnancies is reflected in her journey from Pulling Down the Moon to developing the FEM Protocol. She aims to expand its reach globally and empower therapists to assist in conception.
How Fertility Massage Can Help Clients Conceive
Meredith Nathan combined four elements to create the FEM (Fertility Enhancing Massage) Protocol. An integrated method of lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, acupressure, reflexology, breathing techniques, visualization and massage, the FEM Protocol helps to cleanse the body, enhance the blood, open the breath and relax the entire system.
