Maya Abdominal Massage

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.

Your initial session begins with a gentle, hands-on assessment of the pelvic space. I check for the positioning of the uterus and bladder, as well as signs of frialdad (coldness in the womb), which can indicate areas of reduced circulation. Supporting healthy blood flow to this area is an important part of overall reproductive and menstrual wellness. From there, we move into a gentle, targeted abdominal massage that focuses on the abdomen, low back, hips, and sacrum to support the uterus and surrounding structures. You will also be guided through simple, at-home self-care massage techniques so you can continue supporting your body between sessions.

Each body responds differently to womb work, so your care plan will be unique to you. Some clients notice shifts quickly, while others may need more time depending on factors like hormone balance, tissue restrictions, and how long patterns have been present in the body. In most cases, I recommend a series of 4–6 sessions to create lasting change. Consistency is key—both with in-session work and the self-care practices you’re given at home. Follow-up sessions continue to build on your body’s progress. Depending on how your tissue responds, I may see you weekly or every two weeks. As your body opens and allows, we gradually move into deeper, more specific work, including deeper abdominal and visceral techniques. Each session meets your body where it is—never forcing, only working as deeply as your body is ready to receive.

A big part of this work happens between sessions. You’ll be shown simple self-massage techniques to support circulation, alignment, and overall pelvic health at home. I will also recommend castor oil packs as a supportive addition to your care. Castor oil packs are used over the abdomen to encourage circulation, support lymphatic flow, and help soften and nourish the tissues we’re working with during sessions. When used consistently, they can enhance the effects of your sessions and help your body respond more efficiently to the work.

The uterus is supported within the pelvis by a network of ligaments, fascia, and surrounding structures. Over time, factors such as stress, injury, pregnancy, posture, or chronic tension can create strain within this system, which may influence the positioning and mobility of the uterus. Maya Abdominal Massage works by gently addressing these restrictions through targeted, hands-on techniques that support alignment, improve circulation, and encourage the natural movement of the pelvic organs. Healthy blood flow to the uterus and surrounding tissues is essential for overall reproductive and menstrual wellness. By supporting circulation, lymphatic flow, and tissue mobility, this work can help the body function more optimally and create a more supportive environment for healing and balance.

Yes! Abdominal massage improves circulation around the area of the scar, drains lymph, and helps break up scar tissue and adhesions. Those who have had Cesarian births can also experience the same benefits. Abdominal massage can be applied 3 months after surgery
