About
Mercier Therapy and Abdominal Therapy
Mercier Therapy and Abdominal Therapy is a deep pelvic visceral manipulation protocol that will help to bring about better organ mobility and restore overall blood flow so that optimal organ function can return.
Hundreds of women have been helped to conceive gently and have prepared many other women to achieve better overall outcome with medically assisted cycles such as IVF. These protocols have also been paramount in helping serve women with pelvic pain and C section recovery. These protocols are practiced in the United States and around the world.

Mercier Therapy
Mercier Therapy is not just for women trying to become pregnant.
Some other reasons for having Merciér Therapy include painful intercourse, irregular menstrual cycles, pelvic surgical scar tissue, sexual abuse trama, pelvic or hip injury, and reproductive conditions that impact the health of women in general, such as endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Fertility is not limited to conception and babies, but is a beautiful part of the design of every woman. That’s why Merciér Therapy seeks to offer services that can empower all women and to address the whole gamut of reproductive conditions women face today.
About
Mercier Therapy Compared to IVF
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.

What Our Clients Have to Say…
“Anita was fabulous and I’m so happy to have found her for my reproductive issues.”
“Anita is so wonderful. I went for scar tissue and endometriosis issues and I feel better after the first massage. She is skilled and knowledgeable and just so nice and open. I’m so happy right now.”
“I went to see Anita in preparation for my IVF frozen embryo transfer cycle and I am convinced that this is the only reason why I had success after my 4th attempt. Her Mercier Therapy practice is the reason why I am now pregnant! She’s supportive and informative and she gives the best hugs! Thank you so much!”
“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.”
