Women’s Reproductive Wellness with Mercier Therapy

Trying to conceive a baby? Tried multiple ways? Try a NEW path through Mercier Therapy with Dr. Amber Butler.

Are you struggling with fertility challenges caused by endometriosis, PCOS, scar tissue from abdominal or pelvic surgeries, failed assisted reproductive attempts such as IVF or unexplained infertility? Or perhaps you're experiencing pelvic pain, recovering from gynecologic surgery, a C-section, or a traumatic birth? If so, Mercier Therapy, a natural fertility program, may offer the support and relief you need.

Mercier Therapy is a gentle, hands-on visceral pelvic manipulation technique designed to improve organ mobility, restore blood flow, and enhance the overall function of the pelvic organs. This non-invasive, external therapy targets soft tissue and visceral restrictions in the abdomen, hips, and spine, helping to promote balance and optimal pelvic health.

What is Mercier Therapy?

Mercier Therapy was developed by Dr. Jennifer Mercier, a naturopath and midwife, to promote pelvic health and well-being by addressing scar tissue and restricted mobility of the reproductive structures. This gentle, hands-on therapy is beneficial for those experiencing fertility challenges, pelvic pain, gynecologic surgery recovery, or healing from a C-section or traumatic birth.

I am the founder of A. Butler Chiropractic, a specialized clinic focusing on fertility, Mercier therapy, pregnancy, and postnatal chiropractic care. With a Doctorate in Chiropractic, advanced Fertility Nutritional Training, Mercier Therapy certification, and Pre/Post Natal expertise through the ICPA, I am dedicated to supporting women through every stage of their journey.

Having personally experienced three years of infertility and miscarriage, I am deeply passionate about helping women navigate these challenges with compassionate, holistic care—so no one has to suffer alone.

I empower women to achieve optimal health for natural conception or to support their IVF journey through education, nutrition, and bodywork.

Hi, I’m Dr. Amber Butler.

  • Yes, if you have an IUD, Essure, a current pelvic infection, or active cancer cells, you cannot receive this therapy. For women with endometriosis, we pause treatment during your menstrual cycle and resume once your period ends.

  • The program includes a total of six hours of treatment for successful outcomes and to help support your journey toward conception.

We're here to support you every step of the way!

  • Mercier Therapy involves deep, targeted work on the organs. While you may feel some discomfort if there are restrictions in the pelvis, it shouldn't be painful. Each session typically gets easier, and most clients find they fully enjoy their last sessions in the series. We'll guide you on how to coordinate your breath during the deeper techniques to help ease any discomfort that may come up.

  • The scar tissue and adhesions that are an inevitable consequence of a C-section can cause, numbness and pulling which restrict full range of movement. On the more serious end of the spectrum lies the possibility of chronic back & pelvic pain, bowel or digestive problems, secondary infertility issues, organ dysfunction and incontinence. Most major surgeries include some level of physical therapy to promote full recovery. Unfortunately, physical therapy is usually NOT offered after a cesarean, and women are sent home to care for themselves and their newborns while they heal.

  • You MAY start to use the protocol as early as two weeks postpartum for a woman who has a vaginal birth ONLY. We can begin C-section scar work at 8+ weeks postpartum when the deeper layers of the scar are fully healed.

Client Testimonials

I am a healthy and athletic woman. So, I did not know why I was having pain and trouble conceiving. Turns out I was not only having trouble balancing my hormones, but I was struggling with tension to my hip flexor. I had tried everything prior to Mercier Therapy without success. After having the treatments and listening to Dr. Butler’s recommendations I was able to conceive and am so happy with my son. Thank you Dr. Butler.

I am so glad I made the time to work with Dr. Amber. Her kindness, attention to detail, and education throughout my treatments was wonderful. She really takes the time to personalize my treatments for my specific needs.

The technique was uncomfortable for the first two visits because of the sensitivity I experienced. But just like getting a massage it certainly got better with each treatment and became less tender. She checked in regularly to be sure I was comfortable and gave me post care instructions which were so great to have!

I am a nurse; therefore I had tried ‘everything’ in the medical model but no success. I am so glad that I saw Dr. Butler. I was able to conceive with a blended treatment of both modalities. Dr. Butler was great at teaching me how to advocate for myself and feel comfortable talking to the specialist doctors. Not only did I achieve my goal, but I learned so much about my own body in the process!

I felt like nothing was working. I had seen a different chiropractor, a nutritionist, a fertility specialist, and OB prior to working with Dr. Butler. After working with Dr. Butler it was like everything just clicked. I now have a beautiful baby girl and couldn’t be happier!

I did not have a c-section but multiple surgeries on my bowel. I was also uncomfortable and there were not many options out there for me. I came across the Mercier Scar Release Program by accident and luck me… Dr. Butler is the only one in the local area that performed the technique! It was difficult to make all the recommended treatments as regularly as possible, so I had to alternate my schedule slightly. But I still have great results and relief overall! 100% recommended this therapy and Dr. Butler!
