Mayan Healing and Abdominal Massage ~

The womb is the center of each woman’s power and creativity. This is the sacred space within where we carry our babies, keep our birth stories, and give birth to the visions for motherhood. Mayan Healing and Abdominal Massage is the ancient art of centering the womb inside of a woman’s body, thereby centering her creative power. This practice is drawn from the Mayan traditions of women’s care that have been passed down from mother to daughter for perhaps thousands of years. During pregnancy the womb is stretched in a way that no other muscle in the human body is able to do. All of the abdominal organs must shift in order to make space for the great womb that grows with your baby. After giving birth it is essential to have your womb encouraged back to her center so that all other pelvic and abdominal organs may return to their most effective places within as well. While this is a physical treatment focusing on the abdomen, The Mayan Healing component of this practice is spiritually and emotionally focused.
