Maya Abdominal Massage

Mountain View Midwives Clients

Included in your Global Midwifery Care is an initial session of Maya Abdominal Massage. The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage are founded on ancient Mayan healing practices.  The therapeutic session involves external non invasive touch that gently repositions internal organs that have shifted, thereby restricting the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi. You can learn more about the technique and the benefits at Arvigo Massage. Prenatal and postpartum benefits include strengthening and toning of the uterus, release of restrictions in the ligaments that align the uterus in the pelvis which can lead to easier childbirth, and restoring pelvic tone after delivery.

Scheduling a Massage

The cost for Maya Abdominal Massage is $150 for the initial session and $75 for subsequent sessions.

The initial session generally takes two hours and includes a comprehensive history review and education on the techniques for Self Care massage so that clients can continue to receive the benefits of this work in between treatments.

Generally, one or two sessions are enough to produce significant improvements in symptoms. For pregnant women, one massage in each trimester is ideal. Women who have undergone cesarean section deliveries can especially benefit from postpartum massage (after at least 3 months of healing) to help dissolve scar tissue and adhesions.
