Meredith Sprengel
Fellowship Director
Meredith brings more than fifteen years of experience in integrative and complementary medicine research across foundations, universities, and research institutions. She currently serves as the Research and Program Director for the Subtle Energy Funders Collective and as the Fellowship Director for the Biofield Fellowship Research Program. She is pursuing her PhD at Leiden University in the PRSM Lab where she studies energy healing dyads and the psychological, interpersonal, and contextual factors that shape healing experiences.
Her work centers on evaluating how complementary modalities can be incorporated into allopathic medicine for the treatment of chronic disease with the goal of strengthening resilience, supporting wellbeing, and fostering whole person healing. Trained in social psychological research methods along with research evaluation and assessment, she has held research roles with the Samueli Institute, the Samueli Foundation Integrative Health Programs, the Consciousness and Healing Initiative, the John W. Brick Mental Health Foundation, University of California San Diego, Georgetown University, and as a guest researcher with the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research. Meredith holds a BA in psychology and government from Georgetown University and an MS in Conflict Analysis and Resolution.
