Arvigo maya abdominal Therapy

What is Maya Abdominal Massage?

The Arvigo® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy are founded on the ancient Mayan technique of abdominal massage which is an external non-invasive protocol that helps encourage the alignment of internal organs. The techniques effectively alleviate tissue congestion and organ constriction to improve the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph and nerves in the abdomen. They address and can release emotional and energetic tension from the abdomen. This assists to prevent the progression of chronic disease symptomatology while improving the body’s ability to self repair and balance.

I embarked on my Mayan Massage journey with Victoria to help alleviate period cramps and prepare my uterus for conception. The Mayan massage improved my period cramps dramatically. I no longer felt nauseous or had to take medicine to cope with the discomfort or pain from the cramps. In the first Mayan appointment I loved that Victoria educates you on your uterus and other female parts. She was great at explaining and going through the massage steps for me to continue performing the massage at home. I am so happy I chose to do the Mayan Massage and I now am 24 weeks pregnant, expecting a baby boy this summer. Victoria is not only amazing at what she does, she is a great listener and awesome person!
