at the age of ten and performed her first triple lutz

. Her aunt, Eva Fehr, a former figure skater, was her coach
. Her father, uncle and two cousins are ice hockey

. She was 12th in her World Championship debut
.

. She was 13th in her first appearance at the Olympics. In 2002-3, she finished 5th and 7th in her two Gran Prix assignments and was only 19th at Worlds.

and Worlds
, finishing 10th and 13th, respectively. She repeated her tenth place showing at the 2005 Europeans

and earned an Olympic spot for Switzerland with her ninth place showing. In 2009–10, she struggled with an Achilles tendon inflammation. Meier withdrew from the 2009 NHK Trophy
because she was unable to put too much pressure on her toe pick. She finished 15th at the Olympics and failing to qualify for the free skate at the 2010 Worlds
after a bad fall in the short program.
The many injuries Meier had suffered during the latter part of her career led her to consider retirement after the 2009–2010 season, but she eventually decided to remain in the eligible ranks for one last season, mainly in order to compete in her home country at the 2011 Europeans
in Bern. She damaged ligaments in her foot at the 2010 Skate Canada
, forcing her to withdraw from the event. The injury occurred on her favorite jump, the lutz, denting her confidence. Forced to sit out the 2010–11 Grand Prix season and Swiss Nationals, Meier announced prior to the Europeans that it would be her final competitive event. She finished third in the short program and second in the free skate, but her combined score was high enough to become European Champion. She reaffirmed her decision to retire immediately following her win, calling it "the right moment to stop... the perfect ending."
Meier continues to skate as a pro skater, in shows and other events. She withdrew from the 2011 Japan Open
due to swelling in her foot; the ligaments had not fully healed after the 2010 Skate Canada injury.
