Maya Abdominal & Reproductive Wellness

Gentle, Restorative Bodywork for Fertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Reproductive Health

Maya Abdominal Therapy is a centuries-old practice brought to the Western world by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, who studied with world-renowned shaman Don Elijio Panti. This specialized massage focuses on the alignment and optimal function of the pelvis, reproductive organs, and digestive system, supporting both physical and emotional well-being. This massage gently works the abdomen between the ribs and crest of the pubic bone, along with the low back, sacrum, and glutes to support the entire pelvic and abdominal region. Mira carefully tailors each session to meet her clients’ unique bodies, health concerns, and reproductive wellness goals.
