abdominal therapy

Maya Abdominal Therapy techniques masterfully combine modern science and ancient healing practices. It is a wonderful therapy that addresses the whole container: the spine, diaphragm, abdominal muscles and organs, ribs, and the space they inhabit. In this style of abdominal massage provides gentle, external massage between the pubic bone and lower ribs to create space for the organs to return to their original positions and encourage functionality. Specific work on the low back and sacrum helps align bony structures, frees stuck ligaments and energy, decongests the area for improved circulation and provides balanced pelvic support.

    Health in Your Hands

    An important part of the session is teaching self-care, so you leave empowered to create change on your own at home in 10 minutes a day.

    You will learn a simple sequence in your first session to practice at home. In subsequent sessions we answer questions about your home practice and refine techniques.

    What to Expect

    You will be undressed and covered as you would be in a regular massage session. Massage begins with the upper and lower belly eventually covering the entire abdomen to stimulate circulation of blood, lymph, and nerve impulses to all organs.

    Sessions always include massage to your back, hips, and sacrum. This improves nerve flow to abdominal and pelvic organs, supporting proper uterine placement, and aligns your pelvis for your comfort and freedom of movement.
