About
Fertility Protocol
Anita Thomas is a Certified Abdominal Therapist (as shared by Dr. Rosita Arvigo) and a Certified Mercier Therapy Specialist and Mercier Shared Journey Fertility Program Specialist.
Serene Bodyworks’ Fertility Protocol recommendation is for six consecutive weekly sessions of targeted Abdominal Therapy, utilizing a combination of techniques from all of Anita’s specialized trainings. This protocol can be a standalone regime or in preparation for a more medically assisted cycle such as IUI or IVF. However, you may choose to have single sessions, based on your specific issues.
We highly recommend that you prepare your body properly prior to starting any medically assisted fertility cycle to help insure a successful first cycle. The Fertility Protocol can be completed in time for your stim start.
If you are trying to conceive naturally, you will be guided to monitor your own ovulatory cycle along with our help. Your program is custom tailored to your individual situation and will be discussed in further detail during your consultation.
Please contact Anita to schedule a complimentary consultation to answer any questions you may have regarding Serene Bodyworks’ Fertility Protocol and how it can benefit you in your journey. When scheduling your consultation, please make sure to allow 60-90 minutes and bring any past medical records that may be helpful when discussing your history. During the consultation, a full fertility history will be discussed. In addition, a pelvic organ mobility evaluation can be done, if you choose.

What Our Clients Have to Say…
“I was referred to Anita for the Mercier Therapy that aids women in their infertility journey. The Mercier Therapy has many benefits and success rate within the firat year is pretty high. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 10 years without success. We started going to doctors in 2021 to see what was going on, but I also open myself to a more holistic approach, hence, I started the Mercier Therapy with Anita midway 2021. After 8 months, I was successfully pregnant. I truly believe that my pregnancy was sustainable due to the benefits of the pelvic floor massages. It also allowed me to become more aware of my menstrual cycle happenings.
The support, physical and emotional, that I received from Anita was and still is priceless. I can say that I have gained an amazing more than a professional relationship, but a dear friend.”
“I’m not even sure where to begin with how wonderful my experience with Anita has been… From our very first phone call she has been the kindest and most optimistic person in our pregnancy journey. We tried to conceive for 2 years on our own with a miscarriage and surgery in between and were finally on the waitlist for an appointment with a fertility clinic when a friend suggested Anita. I did fertility treatments with Anita from August to November when we found out we were pregnant. We had a call with our fertility doctor on a Tuesday and were set to start testing that Thursday, but there was no need as all my pregnancy tests were positive. The only difference in our journey was Anita, her treatments, and protocols. I truly believe they helped us bring our son into this world. I continued seeing her throughout my pregnancy and she was always so kind, calming, and encouraging! Not to mention I felt like a million bucks leaving her massages! I would absolutely recommend Anita to anyone and everyone struggling to conceive on their own.”

About
Mercier Therapy
Unlike IVF, Mercier Therapy is non-invasive, more cost effective, has no long-term health consequences, and is often more emotionally supportive of the woman and her partner.
IVF is very costly. Many insurance plans do not cover infertility treatment. The exact total of a single IVF cycle varies, but may cost more than $12,000 to $17,000. Most women typically see success rates of 20-35% per cycle, but the likelihood of getting pregnant decreases with each successive round, while the fees continue to add up.
Did you know that Flex-Spending Account and Health Savings Account funds can be utilized for Mercier Therapy? Many women have taken advantage of this facet.
According to the Society of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (SART), the approximate chance of giving birth to a live baby after IVF is as follows:
- 41% to 43% for women under age 35
- 33% to 36% for women age 35 to 37
- 23% to 27% for women ages 38 to 40
- 13% to 18% for women age 41 and over
Dr. Mercier conducted a six year research study (2013 – 2018) which concluded an over 80% success rate of conception. For details on the statistics of Mercier Therapy and IVF, view our Article Abstract.
