Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy is an external abdominal massage technique that facilitates and supports organs finding their optimal position in the body. The technique has a foundation in ancient Maya wisdom and was further developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo. This hands-on technique is rooted in trust of our body's wisdom. It works complimentary with herbs and nutrition for a holistic approach in spiritual, emotional and bodily well-being.
Arvigo® Therapy is best known for addressing misalignment in the reproductive and digestive organs. The techniques effectively alleviate physical and emotional congestion to improve the flow of energy, blood, lymph and nerves in the abdomen. Clients are instructed in self care techniques to enhance and support the healing process. Click here to learn more about the history and origin of The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®. |

Through listening and holding space, my practice is a safe space that supports the processing of gender exploration, sexual trauma, grief, disembodiment and dismemberment. I welcome you exactly where you are and trust your journey and personal timeline. I am here to vulnerably and openly share my gifts and services.
I was divinely guided to learn Arvigo® therapy. Through receiving the work and practicing self care, I found a deeper relationship with my body. As if a channel of communication opened from my pelvis and belly. Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy helped me find empowerment in and through my body.
Growing up as a female I learned there are ways I was supposed to dress and behave. I didn't fit these norms and they didn't make sense to me; I looked like a boy, played sports, got dirty and didn't want to wear dresses. I felt being female was a weakness that was forced on me. I felt connected to my body but felt disconnected from my gender.
Arvigo® was the first time that I felt connection to my womb as a center of my body's power and wisdom. I felt held in my own skin, without shaming stories of who I am supposed to be. I felt gentle and deep truth arising from my own body. I felt my body's joy in being listened to and heard. This work has been and continues to be powerful in my journey of embodiment and my conversation and exploration of gender.
