Maya Abdominal Massage

Rooted in traditional Mayan medicine, this external, non-invasive technique has been passed down by generations of healers and midwives in Belize. Known as "sobada," or "womb massage," this modality focuses its attention on the abdomen, pelvis, womb, and lower back to help bring the body back into balance and promote overall health.

Although there are many benefits, I specialize in providing a female focused care to provide support for:

Fertility Enhancement

Address fertility issues related to a displaced uterus, provide IVF support and guidance through a Preparing to Conceive massage program to optimize reproductive health for conception

Gynecological Issues

Helps to alleviate symptoms related to menstrual pain, irregular cycles, Endometriosis, PCOS, Fibroids and other gynecological issues by enhancing blood flow to the uterus & ovaries and addressing uterine misalignment

Postpartum Recovery

Encourages the healing of diastasis recti, helps break down scar tissue and adhesions from C-section procedures, and tonifies uterine ligaments to recenter the uterus

Loss & Recovery

Encourages the gentle release of emotions held in the uterus from unprocessed grief and painful experiences such as loss, birth trauma, or miscarriage, fostering emotional shifts and a deep sense of grounding.

"The uterus is the woman's core, if it is out of balance, her whole life is out of balance ; physically, emotionally, mentally"

Frequently Asked Questions

In order to maximize your treatment and cater to your specific needs, an initial 30 minute consult is required. I will send an intake form for you to fill out prior to your consultation, and we will go through your general and reproductive health history, menstrual cycle, concerns, and goals together. This is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have, and for us to get to know each other! Following your consult, we will begin your first treatment session.

The uterus is held in place by 10 ligaments. Ligaments, when stressed or strained, cause the uterus to become mal-positioned. This can cause a multitude of symptoms, including infertility, heavy or irregular menstrual cycles, endometriosis, and other gynecological concerns. Guiding the uterus back to its optimal position in the pelvis helps to alleviate these symptoms, and prevents the progression of chronic disease.

Abdominal therapy is both safe and effective, but there are a few cautions and considerations to keep in mind. Some of these include:

-No lower abdominal massage during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy

-No abdominal massage can be administered if an IUD is present

-Abdominal aneurysm is contraindicated for massage

-Active abdominal/pelvic infections are contraindicated

-No massage during active menstruation

-Must wait 6 weeks after vaginal birth, or 3 months after a Cesarean birth for abdominal work

-If undergoing chemotherapy, or if cancer is present, you MUST receive a letter of approval from your health care provider in order to receive bodywork
