Mayan abdominal massage

The Arvigo techniques of ancient Mayan healing and abdominal therapy include gentle massage of the belly to promote proper movement of blood, lymph, and the nervous system, and are helpful for those trying to conceive or to support a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Working with the abdomen, it supports the reproductive organs for issues such as fertility, fibroids, or endometriosis, as well as digestive and structural issues such as GERD, IBS, Crohn’s disease, adhesions, scarring, constipation, chronic fatigue, migraines, and chronic fatigue. 

Craniosacral therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a holistic and gentle bodywork that engages the nervous system and supporting structures such as the sacrum and bones of the skull to create an environment that supports the body’s ability to self-correct. By calming the sympathetic response, and promoting the parasympathetic nervous system, it can help with many things, including back and neck pain, headaches, stress relief, trauma, recovery from auto accidents, swelling, ear and jaw pain, endocrine support, and much more.
