WELL WOMAN CARE

WOMB AND BELLY MASSAGE

HANDS ON HANDS IN PELVIC WORK

​

This style of womb and belly massage is rooted in the ancient traditions of Belize. Dr. Rosita Arvigo brought these teachings to the United States, and beyond, with the permission of her teacher Don Elijio Panti, a great traditional healer of Belize. 

​

This form of bodywork brings lymphatic, nervous, blood, and energy flow to the organs of the upper and lower abdominal regions of the body. In bringing healing to the reproductive and digestive organs, balance and healing will present itself in the entire body and being. 

​

This is a gentle, yet deeply profound healing modality that can support those who are struggling with physical ailments, as well as internalized emotional/spiritual trauma held in the body. 

 

Through the framework of Maya Abdominal Therapy, my passion lies in womb healing for all stages of life. I invite those who are struggling with issues around the menstrual cycle, pre- and post-partum women, women going through menopause, and beyond. This work is for all bodies, and I am honored to support through this powerful work.

 

This therapy can help:

• Bring flow and healing to reproductive and digestive systems

• Aid in difficulties with menstruation (i.e. cramps, amenorrhea, irregular cycles, etc.)

• Uterine cysts and fibroids

• Endometriosis

• Uterine prolapse

• Aid in fertility and preconception

• Assist pregnant mothers

• Help heal the womb after birth, miscarriage, abortion - aids in postpartum healing

• Urinary incontinence and other issues

• Supports those working with any type of trauma and body armoring

• Healing chronic low back/pelvic pain

• And much more...

​

During all initial sessions, I will teach you how to apply this healing modality in your daily life, as you learn the Self Care techniques. I also include a Castor Oil pack, as well as instructions to take this practice home, in most Initial Sessions (if indicated for the individual.) ​

​

List of certain conditions/situations where  Therapy would be contraindicated or would require modification:

​

• IUD (Intra-Uterine Device) is present

In addition to massage, pelvic care for female bodies is also a modality included in Well Woman Care. Hands on/hands in pelvic work can address physical pain, as well as deep seated emotion or trauma held in the pelvic bowl.*

*Note - an initial session will not include hands in work, we will discuss this care when you come in for your first session. Please reach out if you would like to talk more about this care.
