What is Mercier Therapy?

Mercier Therapy is a specialized, hands-on deep pelvic visceral manipulation technique designed to support the health, mobility, and function of the pelvis. Through intentional work with the tissues surrounding the reproductive organs, Mercier Therapy helps release areas of tension and restriction, support healthy circulation, and encourage the natural mobility of the uterus and ovaries. The work may also help address restrictions associated with scar tissue and adhesions.

​

The primary goal of Mercier Therapy is to support the physical environment of the reproductive organs and surrounding structures, helping create greater balance, mobility, and ease within the pelvis.

For many people, the fertility journey can bring a tremendous amount of focus, emotion, and stress into the pelvic and abdominal areas. This work offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with your body, and receive intentional hands-on care while supporting your overall pelvic wellness.

​

Mercier Therapy can be a supportive part of a fertility and pelvic wellness journey. It may be used as a stand-alone therapy or incorporated alongside medical fertility care. It is important to understand that Mercier Therapy is a supportive therapy and cannot guarantee pregnancy or a particular fertility outcome.

A Supportive Stand-Alone Therapy

​

Mercier Therapy may be a supportive option for those who are:

  • Preparing for natural fertility

  • Navigating fertility challenges

  • Living with endometriosis

  • Experiencing painful, irregular, or missed periods

  • Recovering from a C-section or laparoscopic surgery

  • Looking to support their overall pelvic and reproductive health

  • Wanting to take a more proactive and connected approach to caring for their bodies

​

Supporting Your Fertility Journey Alongside Medical Care

​

Mercier Therapy may also be incorporated as a complementary therapy when preparing for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), including IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).

​

The intention is to support pelvic mobility, tissue health, and circulation as you prepare for or move through a fertility treatment cycle. Mercier Therapy is complementary to medical fertility care and does not replace the recommendations or treatment provided by your physician or fertility team.

What Is the Success Rate of Conception With Mercier Therapy?

A Mercier Therapy research study conducted between 2008 and 2012 reported an 83% pregnancy rate among the women included in the study. The findings were published in the Spring 2013 edition of Midwifery Today in an article titled “Mercier Therapy Helps Infertile Women Achieve Pregnancy.”

​

These encouraging findings offer insight into the potential role Mercier Therapy may play in supporting fertility and reproductive health. Every woman and fertility journey is unique, and individual experiences and outcomes will naturally vary. The study provides an important foundation for exploring how specialized pelvic bodywork may support the body as it prepares for conception.

​

Mercier Therapy is a complementary approach designed to work alongside your body’s natural processes and, when appropriate, alongside medical fertility care. By supporting the physical environment of the reproductive organs, Mercier Therapy may help enhance the body’s readiness for conception. Rather than promising a specific outcome, this work is intended to support your overall pelvic wellness while helping you feel more connected, supported, and in tune with your body.

How This Program Can Help Support Your Body

Mercier Therapy is designed to support pelvic and reproductive wellness through focused, hands-on work. Potential benefits may include:

  • ​Complementing IUI and IVF treatment plans by enhancing tissue readiness

  • ​Encouraging mobility of the pelvic and reproductive structures through precise visceral manipulation.

  • ​Releasing areas of deep pelvic and abdominal tension

What Does Treatment Look Like?

Because true healing requires consistency, Mercier Therapy is structured as a comprehensive, 6-week shared journey program. This program goes far beyond your time on the table, it includes a fully customized personal care plan and continuous, ongoing support throughout the entire 6 weeks to keep you empowered and accountable.

Step 1: Complimentary Discovery Call (20 Minutes | Free)

We begin with a private phone conversation to discuss your health goals, timeline, and health history. This allows us to ensure Mercier Therapy is the absolute right match for your situation before scheduling an in-office visit.

Step 2: Comprehensive In-Office Consultation & Structural Assessment (90 Minutes)

During this initial session, we dive deep into your health history and reproductive symptoms. I will perform a comprehensive, hands-on pelvic mobility and structural assessment. This allows me to map out your customized care plan and gives your body a gentle introduction to the specialized visceral manipulation techniques.

Step 3: Six Weekly Mercier Therapy Sessions (60 Minutes Each)

For optimal outcomes, we meet consecutively once per week for six weeks. Each session builds structurally upon the last, utilizing deep, external visceral massage to restore mobility, help break down restrictions, and maximize circulation to your reproductive organs. Each session is personalized throughout the process, with attention to how your body is responding and what you need from one session to the next.

Step 4: Continuous Care Plan & Ongoing Support

Throughout your 6-week program, you receive dedicated, customized guidance outside of your hands-on sessions, including:

​​

  • Targeted Lifestyle Modifications: Tailored adjustments for nutrition, stress management, and movement to optimize your unique fertility environment.

​

  • Menstrual Cycle Tracking Education: Empowering you with the data and knowledge to map your ovulation patterns and timing accurately.

​

  • Fertility Education: General information to help you feel more informed and empowered as you navigate your fertility journey.

​

  • Compassionate Emotional Support: A compassionate dedicated, safe space to process the emotional waves of the fertility chapter where you can feel heard and supported throughout your experience.

To best support your body, we will look over your current nutrition, supplements, and medications as part of your care plan. Because I am a specialized bodywork practitioner and not a medical doctor, I always empower my clients to do their own research and require that any changes to your medical treatment or prescriptions be discussed directly with your primary care provider or fertility specialist.

Embrace Your Journey with Confidence

Navigating fertility and reproductive challenges can feel incredibly isolating, but you do not have to navigate this chapter alone. If you are ready to receive expert clinical help, compassionate education, and deep physical and emotional support while nurturing a safe connection with your body, I am here to guide you.
