Meredith Barrett
Meredith graduated from Penn State University in 2000 with a degree in Communications and went on to enjoy a 25-year career in corporate sales and marketing. Drawn to California for its progressive wellness culture and love of the outdoors, she spent nine years living out west before returning to the Pittsburgh area. Deeply inspired by her experiences, she earned her health coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2019 and launched her wellness business, Nature’s Antidotes. She partnered with a licensed psychologist to support patients through nutritional and lifestyle shifts that promoted mental well-being. Meredith also led a two-year wellness initiative at her church, offering classes focused on holistic health for body, mind, and spirit. Her mission is to make a meaningful impact by guiding others toward empowered, vibrant living.
Bar Vitalis, LLP
One beautiful day, two kindred spirits crossed paths—Meredith and Jeska—bonding over their shared passion for wellness, nourishment, and helping others heal. Both had overcome deep challenges and transformed their lives through mindful living and soulful nourishment. When Meredith said, “I have a dream of opening a sober bar and organic restaurant in Pittsburgh,” Jeska’s eyes lit up: “Oh my gosh, me too!” And just like that, Bar Vitalis was born.
But this isn’t just a bar or restaurant—it’s a movement. A space rooted in community, sustainability, and vitality. We invite YOU to be part of it—nurturing your own well-being while helping a collective of givers, growers, and thrivers flourish together.
