Mercier Therapy

A Shared Fertility Journey

You don’t have to do this alone.
Mercier Therapy offers gentle, focused abdominal and pelvic bodywork that helps your tissues soften, your circulation improve, and your whole system feel more ready to conceive. We’ll move at your pace, with steady guidance and real, hands-on care.

Why people choose Mercier Therapy

  • Focused, deeper work: Purposeful techniques that address restrictions and adhesions that can limit blood flow and organ mobility.

  • External & non-invasive: No internal work. You’re fully draped and comfortable the whole time.

  • Clear plan: A structured six-session series so you know what’s happening and why, every step of the way.

  • Whole-person support: Physical relief, emotional steadiness, and simple at-home practices so you feel supported between visits.

  • Partner-friendly: Your partner is welcome in this journey. We’ll share ways they can help at home, too.

How Mercier goes deeper than Mayan bodywork

Both are loving, hands-on approaches. Mayan fertility massage is wonderfully gentle and nurturing, inviting alignment, warmth, and flow perfect for sensitive bodies and first steps.

Mercier Therapy works more specifically and deeply (still external) to address long-standing tightness, post-surgical adhesions, and areas that feel “stuck.” Think of it as the next layer: targeted techniques that restore mobility and tissue glide while keeping you safe and comfortable. Many clients start with Mayan to soften and reconnect, then choose Mercier for focused change.

Who it’s great for

  • You’re trying to conceive (naturally or with IUI/IVF) and want your body to feel truly ready.

  • Your tests look “fine,” but you still feel stuck or you’re emotionally/financially drained by the next medical steps.

  • You’ve had C-section or abdominal/pelvic surgeries and notice lingering tightness (with medical clearance).

  • You experience pelvic congestion, period discomfort, bloating, back/hip tension, or stress you carry in your belly.

What the series looks like (simple + steady)

Six sessions. One clear plan. Each visit builds on the last.

  1. Meet & Soften – We listen to your story, breathe, and ease into gentle release work.
    2–5. Progressive Mobility – Focused, deeper (still comfortable) techniques through the abdomen, hips, and low back to restore glide and flow.

  2. Integrate – Reassess changes, celebrate wins, and leave with a simple home plan.

Timing: 60 minutes each, usually once a week for 6 weeks (we can adjust for cycle timing or IVF prep).

Benefits you may notice

  • Softer belly, easier breathing, and a feeling of spaciousness in the pelvis

  • Improved circulation and mobility where things felt “held” or sticky

  • Relief from back/pelvic tension, sciatica, and urinary frequency

  • Calmer nervous system, better sleep, and more confidence in your path

Every body is unique. We’ll track your progress together and tailor the work to your cycle and goals.

What it feels like

  • External only (abdomen, hips, low back), fully draped and supported

  • Pressure is purposeful moderate to deep but always within your comfort

  • Aftercare: hydrate, take a short walk, add gentle warmth to the belly that evening, and follow a few easy at-home moves

Safety & coordination

Please postpone if you have a fever/infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, acute pelvic pain, or you’re within 6 weeks of abdominal/pelvic surgery (or until cleared). We’ll coordinate timing with your cycle and any IUI/IVF dates.
Mercier Therapy complements doesn’t replace medical care.
