Fertility can be a really tough and emotionally-charged conversation. I’ve walked through my own fertility struggles and I’ve had the honor of walking through similar struggles with a lot of other women.

I didn’t set out to specialize in pelvic floor much less fertility wellness when I became a physical therapist. But as I was going through my own journey with fertility, I did what a lot of women do and started to research like crazy. My education and professional training told me that there were things I could do for and with my body that just might help increase success, but I didn’t know specifics yet.

Then, I found Mercier Therapy. For me, Mercier Therapy made so much sense! When I discovered it, I was immediately captured by how well researched it was, the positive statistics attached to it, and the fact that it was completely natural.

As a woman, having your period has never been that appealing. It’s really more of a hassle and nuisance rather than deemed as something beautiful. I mean, who wants to deal with pads, cups, or tampons EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.

But what if I told you that your cycle is actually a pretty damn cool thing. Trust me, I used to not think such crazy thoughts…but the more you learn about the ins and outs of a menstrual cycle, the more you see how amazing it is that our bodies do this and what it is trying to tell you when something isn’t quite “right”.

Not having a cycle all together can lead to more serious issues such as osteoporosis and even cancer. I will dive deeper into this subject but for now we will get to the point of exercise.
