Maya Abdominal Therapy

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® originate in ancient Maya practices of abdominal massage. Gentle external massage helps guide organs back into proper position and enhances the flow of blood, lymph, nerve impulses and chi in the abdomen. Increased flow restores balance and allows the body to heal.

We also address tension and restriction of low back and sacrum. Releasing these areas further removes congestion in the belly and the pelvic bowl.

We teach and encourage a daily routine of self-massage to enhance the results of professional sessions.

This combination of self-massage and professional guidance will bring you back into right relationship with your belly. No matter what the trouble or condition, self-acceptance is essential to healing and positive change. Rather than focusing on what’s wrong or how it seems your body has betrayed you, you can learn to listen and appreciate… to come in to conversation and lovingly encourage healing.

Supportive Modalities: in many cases, I will suggest remedies in addition to the massage. These include castor oil packs, herbal formulas, vaginal steams and variations on the traditional belly-wrap called a faja.

What to Expect

Maya Abdominal Therapy

Before we meet – I will send you a comprehensive intake form which you should complete prior to your appointment. It takes about 30 minutes. Initial visits are scheduled for 2 hours. We begin with an extensive intake, followed by physical assessment, treatment and education. Finally, we develop plans for self-care between sessions and an expectation of how many professional sessions you will need. You don’t need to wear any particular type of clothing, I will ask you to remove all but your underwear and drape your legs and chest while I work on your abdomen. Because the uterus sits just above the pubic bone, I will be working quite low to begin with. The massage eventually covers the entire abdomen, stimulating circulation of blood, lymph and nerve impulses to all organs. Sessions always include massage to your back, hips and sacrum. With this we are improving nerve flow to abdominal and pelvic organs, supporting proper uterine placement, and aligning your pelvis for your comfort and freedom of movement. I will also teach you the self-massage routine developed by Dr. Arvigo and send you home with written instructions. We recommend that you do this 10-minute massage every day between professional sessions. Daily massage improves and accelerates results. Supportive Modalities: in many cases, I will suggest remedies in addition to the massage. These include castor oil packs, herbal formulas, vaginal steams and variations on the traditional belly-wrap called a faja. We will schedule 60-minute followup appointments 2-4 weeks apart. Plan on at least 3 follow-up appointments for best results.

Uterus at the Center of Healing

The uterus is made to move and be responsive to the changes of our lives. She sits behind the public bone, in front of the rectum and leaning slightly over the bladder. She is supported the pelvic floor muscles and the vaginal wall with space to grow through each menstrual cycle. She is tethered by 5 sets of ligaments, which stretch to accommodate a growing baby. And because of her flexibility, she can be bumped out of place – by an accident or pelvic injury, habitual one-sided activities, heavy lifting, multiple pregnancies and difficult births, sedentary or over-active lifestyles. The Maya people – and many other indigenous cultures around the world – have always understood this. Their healers believed that when the womb was off center, the entire being was effected. No healing session was complete without abdominal massage.

I worked with Amy from 20 weeks into my pregnancy until postnatal. She is an expert on Arvigo therapy and has trained many of the local practitioners. She was nurturing and incredibly knowledgeable on all things surrounding childbirth. (She was a midwife for many years!) She also does prenatal classes. I went to one on Anatomy and it was really informative.
