Maya Abdominal Massage
A Brief History
This time-honored wellness system is rooted in ancient healing traditions. One of its strongest roots is the Maya traditions. Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN lived and practiced in Central America for over 40 years. She developed these techniques after apprenticing with Don Elijio Panti, one of the last Traditional Maya Shamans in Central America.
Don Elijio was Rosita’s friend and mentor, and he gave her his blessing to teach this work. Dr. Rosita Arvigo wove the threads of these ancient healing traditions together with a scientific understanding and offered the world a well-crafted gift of Abdominal Therapy. In some regions of the world, this work is known as Maya Abdominal Massage.
What it Is and How it Helps
Abdominal Therapy is a blend of massage and healing techniques that address mind, body, and spirit concerns, such as digestive issues, reproductive health, and overall wellbeing. It focuses on organs, muscles, and fascia of the abdomen, back, hips, and pelvis. At its essence, the practice of Abdominal Therapy stimulates the flow of nerves, blood, energy, and lymph thus assisting the body in achieving and maintaining its natural healthy balance, known as homeostasis. The results can be improved areas of discomfort in the back and hips, digestive, circulation, as well as better menstrual, reproductive, and sexual health.
Abdominal Therapy places education at its core. Practitioners believe understanding your body leads to empowerment and long-term healing. After your session you will be shown how to massage your own belly. With regular self-care massage called Your Abdominal Massage (YAM), you will maintain the positive effects of your treatment, and you can gain control over your well-being
