The Maya of Central America have practiced uterine massage for centuries. Mayan healers have treated reproductive and gastrointestinal ailments with a combination of massage techniques, herbal preparations and spiritual healing. Dr. Rosita Arvigo has brought these techniques to North America. These Maya Uterine and Abdominal Massage techniques eliminate the primary cause of female complaints, the congested uterus, thereby preventing the progression of symptoms to chronic disease. Over 90% of all women have a misplaced or fallen uterus. In men, the massage treats the prostate just as it treats the uterus. Bodywork in this area can help to maintain a full blood supply and prevent swelling and inflammation in the prostate.

What does the Mayan Massage Involve?

The Mayan Abdominal Massage is an external, non-invasive manipulation to reposition internal organs that  have shifted  and as a result restricted  the flow of  blood, lymph, nerves and chi. This massage is also capable of lifting the colon upwards when prolapsed. The initial treatment takes approximately two hours. It consists of a review of the health history questionnaire, the  Mayan massage, and the teaching of  the self-massage. Treatments thereafter, spread out at intervals dependent on your needs, are one hour. The self-massage, taught at the initial treatment, is catered to your needs. It is a self-empowering massage performed daily by you in less than ten minutes. The self-massage brings healing as well as self-awareness to your healing process.
