Frequently Asked Questions
What Merciér Therapy is, who we work with, and how to begin.
About Merciér Therapy
What is Merciér Therapy?
Merciér Therapy is a deep pelvic gyno-visceral manipulation developed by Dr. Jennifer Mercier. It helps restore blood flow and circulation to the reproductive organs. Joelle has been a Certified Merciér Therapist since 2014.
What happens in a first session?
Your first visit is a two-hour, one-on-one consultation in our private office. We go through your health history in depth so we understand your needs and, if time allows, include a mini Merciér Therapy session. From there, we put together a plan with you. Follow-up sessions are 75 to 90 minutes.
What should I wear?
Come dressed comfortably, in pants that are loose around the waist or in shorts.
Fertility support
Do you work with women going through IUI or IVF?
Yes. We support women trying to conceive naturally and women going through IUI or IVF. Merciér Therapy, fertility coaching and nutrition support can all be part of your plan, whichever path you're on.
What is the Shared Journey Fertility Program?
It's our most complete program for women trying to conceive. It includes Merciér Therapy sessions and tune-ups, learning to recognize your body's natural signs of fertility, menstrual cycle charting and monitoring, and the support of a practitioner who has walked this road herself.
Who we help
Who do you work with?
We work with women at every stage, from puberty through peri-menopause, including women who:
- are trying to conceive, naturally or with IUI or IVF
- have painful, heavy or irregular periods
- have pain with intercourse
- are recovering from a C-section or miscarriage
- want to understand their cycles better
We also work with teens and their parents.
Do you work with teens?
Yes. For girls and teens we offer:
- a teen reproductive health consultation, which can include a mini Merciér Therapy session
- Merciér Therapy for teens with period pain, heavy bleeding or irregular periods
- teenFEMM, a one-on-one body literacy program
- Body Literacy Basics, a group course for girls navigating puberty
Do you offer nutrition support?
Yes. Keira, our Functional Nutritionist and Herbalist, offers nutrition support and lab testing. You can start with a free 15-minute video call with her to ask questions before booking an intake.
Getting started
Where are you located?
Our office is at 935 Conner St, Suite 214, Noblesville, IN 46060. All sessions are by appointment.
Can I work with you virtually?
Some services, yes. Our info session is virtual, and coaching, chart reviews and Keira's free 15-minute consultation can be done by video. Merciér Therapy is hands-on, so those sessions take place at our Noblesville office.
How do I get started?
The easiest first step is our free monthly info session. It's a virtual group session where you'll hear our story, learn what sessions look like, and get your questions answered. If you already know you're ready, book a one-on-one consultation and we'll begin with your health history.
