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.
