Mayan Abdominal Massage
Discover a rich tradition of hands on healing.
Maya abdominal therapy has been known and practiced for thousands of years by midwives, healers, and shamans throughout Central America, Africa, and China. It features a comprehensive, holistic philosophy incorporating the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels of health.
These non-invasive external massage techniques, as practiced today, were developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo in order to:
Focus on the abdomen and pelvis in guiding the internal reproductive organs into their proper position, relieving tension in the diaphragm and abdominal musculature, and aligning the pelvis
Improve organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion, thereby helping to re-establish healthy circulation in the pelvic region
Enhance circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids, and the elimination and secretion of hormones – essential for general pelvic health as well as healthy conception, pregnancy, and delivery
