Experience healing without discomfort:
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients benefit from a series of six one-hour sessions, often conducted weekly. This protocol allows us to methodically address restrictions and optimize pelvic organ mobility. Additional sessions may be recommended for more complex cases or ongoing support.

Whether you’re trying naturally or undergoing assisted reproductive treatments like IVF, Mercier Therapy can significantly boost your chances.
Ready to take charge of your fertility?
How does Mercier Therapy aid post-surgical recovery?
Surgery in the pelvic region often leaves scar tissue that restricts organ mobility and causes chronic pain. Mercier Therapy gently breaks down adhesions, restores natural movement, and improves blood flow to accelerate recovery and prevent complications.

Can Mercier Therapy be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Mercier Therapy complements other treatments such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART). It enhances overall pelvic health, creating a stronger foundation for other therapies to work more effectively.
What should I expect during a session?
Each session lasts approximately one hour and is conducted in a calm, supportive environment. Our therapist will use gentle, external abdominal manipulations to address adhesions, improve organ mobility, and reduce tension. You’ll leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Real Stories from Our Patients to
Working with Dr E was an incredible experience! I encountered her during physical therapy for my tail bone pain, and through diligent work and discussions, we pinpointed the source and cause of my discomfort. Her exceptional support and empathy stood out, as she attentively listened to the challenges I faced, ensuring I never felt uneasy about asking questions or expressing my feelings and progress. I have recommended, and will persist in recommending, her to anyone in need of pelvic floor therapy.
Discovering Dr E has been a blessing from God. Her reputation is well-deserved, as I've learned firsthand. Battling PCOS while trying to conceive has been challenging, but Dr E's care from the first consultation made me feel understood and at ease. Her home visits add to the comfort, fostering an environment where I can be candid and trust that she prioritizes my well-being. I'm compelled to recommend Dr E to others because her care is exceptional, and I foresee a long-lasting professional relationship with her.
Dr. E is genuinely extraordinary. Her compassion, expertise, and attentive listening skills are evident in every interaction. She has the ability to respond to all questions with clarity and consideration. Dr. E is an indispensable asset to the community.
