Our uterus and ovaries can benefit from a little extra TLC when optimizing fertility. I work with different types of treatments to improve blood flow, egg quality and to ensure a proper position of the uterus. Laser Therapy works to improve male fertility as well. There are also different treatments you can do at home in between sessions.

Mercier Therapy

As one of only a few worldwide I offer Mercier Therapy for my clients. Mercier Therapy is a completely natural technique to improve fertility and it’s also helpful with pelvic pain conditions like endometriosis.

Mercier Therapy is a soft tissue visceral manipulation technique used to help restore the health and general wellbeing within the female pelvis. All massage takes place on the outside of the body around the pelvis's various areas and organs. Mercier Therapy ensures that the organs in the pelvic area have the right position, full mobility and blood flow for optimal function. It is a gentle and non invasive technique created to help us reconnect with our female body parts around the pelvis and balance its functions.

A 2013 study utilizing the Mercier protocol for women with fertility challenges supported many positive outcomes for the participants. As a matter of fact, 83% of the women became pregnant within a year of finishing the Mercier Therapy Shared Journey Fertility program. The majority of these women had no medical intervention and just monitored their own cycles.

Mercier Therapy may help with the following issues:

  • Natural preparation for pregnancy or as a complement to IVF or other infertility treatments.

  • Pelvic pain such as endometriosis

  • Optimizing the menstual cycle and ovulation. 

  • Balancing hormones and the endocrine system. 

  • Improving the function of the ovaries for better follicle- and egg quality.

  • Improving the blood flow to the uterus and it's position. 

  • Deeply relaxing - removes blockages, anxiety and stress.

Being fertile is the most natural process within our body and when it seems stuck, weak or broken we will jump in and help. - Jennifer Mercier

Laser therapy

Research done with laser therapy shows that it may be possible to improve egg quality, slow down the aging process and significantly improve fertility in both women and men. The studies show that low level laser therapy (LLLT) used on acupuncture points on the neck and over the ovaries appears to increase energy levels in the cells, increase blood flow, soften scar tissue and help in reducing inflammation.

The studies have shown very promising results. A Danish report showed that LLLT had a pregnancy rate of 66% success for women after at least 4 years of failure with other assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF. LLLT studies have also pointed to the efficacy of laser treatment in raising the quality of the male partner’s semen, in particular when it comes to motility.

LLLT can also be used to address hormonal imbalances such as PCOS and endometriosis.   

Partners
I work closely together with Swedish OB/gyn, midwives, endocrinologists and GP:s. If needed I may refer to them for examinations and regular lab-work. I also have close connections with cbt-therapists, medicinal yoga instructors, coaches and doulas. My network of international ND:s, MD:s and physiotherapists are also a great resource.
