Mercier Therapy is often associated with fertility and pregnancy 🤍

And yes, for many women that is part of the story.

But what many of our clients share is that the biggest shifts happen before pregnancy ever enters the picture.

We hear things like

Less PMS
Fewer cramps
A brighter, more consistent menstrual flow

Noticing fertile cervical fluid for the first time
More clarity around ovulation and cycle patterns

Less low back and pelvic pain
Less discomfort with in*******se
Relief from sciatica

Better digestion
Less bloating
Improved sleep
Lower stress

And just as importantly

“I finally understand my body.”
“I feel more relaxed and confident.”
“I have hope again.”
“My conception journey felt supportive instead of stressful.”

Mercier Therapy is not only about getting pregnant.
It is about pelvic health, awareness, and support for the whole woman.

If you are curious and want to explore whether this work may be supportive for you, we offer a free clarity call.

No pressure.
Just a conversation🤍

Happy New Year! ✨✨ As we step into 2026 we’re introducing Quiet Tide- Care That Carries You Between Seasons for $370
A limited, seasonal offering to support gentle continuity of care during times of transition.

The Quiet Tide Care Plan offers a gentle, structured way to continue or begin care during times of transition. Designed for moments when your body is asking for a little more support without the commitment of a longer plan, Quiet Tide maintains the rhythm and continuity of ongoing care.

This plan includes two sixty-minute sessions, offered at our established care-plan rate and designed to be used within 60 days. Sessions are guided by where you are on your journey (pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum or beyond) and may be tailored to massage, reflexology, or skincare, depending on your needs.

Quiet Tide is well suited for easing out of a longer care plan, navigating a pause between seasons, or exploring structured care in a supportive, intentional way. comment “TIDE” and we’ll DM you a direct link to Quiet Tide🌊🌊🌊
