A note from Jennifer Mercier

I have been studying natural medicine since 1996. I have worked with Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, Nurse Practitioners and Midwives for many years and have learned so much from them all. My interest in healthcare started in high school when I thought that I might continue on to Medical School. Ultimately, I did apply to Medical School and was accepted. I did not attend because I felt more of a calling to integrative holistic medicine.

My choices for my education seemed limitless. I would never change the path that I chose because the experiences were invaluable. I traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, France, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Belize. I worked with native Shaman healers and Holistic doctors of so many diverse disciplines.

Eventually I narrowed my primary focus to Women's health. I began working with a group of Reproductive Endocrinologist /Gynecologists. I observed hysterectomies, laparoscopies, laparotomies, LEEP's, colposcopies, egg retrievals, embryo transfers and monitored IVF cycles. These experiences were invaluable.

During my Doula and Midwifery training I learned how to trust birth and be very patient with the whole birthing process. Women are very powerful beings and giving birth is a primal event. Newborn babies are human beings that need to be treated as such. Motherhood is sacred and we need to better support women as mothers.

Today I am an educator. I teach women about fertility, pregnancy, and transitional changes such as menopause and how to strengthen the wisdom within. I am a pioneer within the field of holistic fertility care. My pelvic massage technique has blown me away. Upon completion of the Mercier therapy regime women are attaining a sense of freedom and openness. All women who chose Mercier Therapy feel more emotionally connected with their uterus.


One of my passions is teaching a group of student professionals to use my technique within their own practices.

I really love my practice. My life and educational experiences thus far have shown me Divine Grace to be a better listener, practitioner and educator. Thank you God.

Jennifer Mercier, Ph.D.
