Mercier Therapy was created by Dr. Jennifer Mercier.

It is a deep
pelvic organ visceral manipulative technique in which the reproductive
organs are mobilized and blood flow restored. Organ restrictions are
relieved and movement replenished amongst the organs and surrounding
structures to enhance their natural and most optimal function. Mercier
therapy is created to optimize health and wellbeing within the female pelvis
by addressing scar tissue and decreased mobility of the reproductive
structures. This gentle and non invasive technique is beneficial for women
of all ages facing fertility challenges, pelvic pain, gynecological surgery
recovery, or having gone through traumatic birth experiences.

How It Works
The Mercier Therapy protocol includes 6, one hour sessions completed
within a 1-6 week period in which the abdomen is worked upon to
accomplish the goal of releasing organ restriction. Mercier Therapy can be

cycle such as IUI or IVF
