Maya Abdominal Massage

Posted in: Health, Midwifery Education|October 26, 2008No Comments

I am very excited to be attending Rosita Arvigo’s Maya Abdominal Massage Practitioner Training in Belize in in January of 2009! I have taken the level one (self care) course and can’t wait to be able to offer this simple and profound technique to the women of Charlottesville.  The basic concept is that your uterus moves, both in it’s monthly cycles and in response to injury, body changes, and childbirth.  For centuries, mayan healers have used specific techniques to gently massage the uterus into a balanced alignment.  The benefits are numerous and modern practitioners are finding amazing results in treating a multitude of health problems with this simple process.  More later….  I’d love to hear from other folks who have practiced or received this technique.
