Abdominal Therapy

Developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo from her years of apprenticing with a Mayan healer in Belize, learning from skilled and experienced midwives, and her years of practice/education as a bodyworker and doctor of Naprapathy.

•  Improves flow and function of the nerves, blood, lymph, and energy of the body, supporting optimization of all systems. 
• Supports tissue, ligament, and organ health by increasing blood flow and releasing tension from the abdomen (where many of our emotions are held).

What to expect from an Abdominal Therapy session:

Our first session together, the 'New Client Intake' session (2 hrs), starts with going over your health intake form. Once we've gathered all the information, then we start the table work. You'll receive some gentle belly massage, together we walk through teaching you your own self-care abdominal massage that you get to take home with you to support you in between sessions (called YAM), back massage, and then we address the muscles and ligaments of the lower back, hips/pelvis, sacrum, and tailbone). 

At the end of your first appointment, we establish a customized treatment plan for moving forward together depending on your specific needs and goals.
