Abdominal Therapy

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®, created by Dr. Rosita Arvigo in collaboration with Shaman Don Elijio Panti, is an external, non-invasive massage technique intended to guide abdominal and reproductive organs into their proper position for optimum health and well being.  Maya Abdominal Therapy improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion thus facilitating better oxygen, blood, and energy flow of the circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems.

Pregnancy Massage - Prenatal and Postpartum

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation. Jill uses a side-lying positioning for the comfort of momma and baby. By using creative bolstering the woman's body is fully supported and helps to induce a deep relaxation that is often lacking during pregnancy. Once the bundle of joy has arrived, postpartum mommas are encouraged to come for full body massage with some focus on the abdomen and back. Abdominal massage therapy helps to ensure that all those squished up organs return their most optimal position after birth.

Cupping - European Tradition

Traditional European Cupping Therapy has been used for thousands of years as a way to enhance blood and lymph circulation of tight muscles. Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, was a keen observer of the benefits of cupping and believed in its power to affect muscle dysfunction due to poor nutrition, lack of adequate body movement, and exposure to adverse weather conditions.  Cupping is GREAT for respiratory conditions (colds and coughs WITHOUT fever) and very tight muscles!  It is very therapeutic.

Flower Essence Consultation

A Flower Essence Consultation involves discussion about your health history as well as any emotional, spiritual and physical states you are wishing to change.  Several techniques are used to find the core imbalance and a custom flower essence remedy is suggested with dosage instructions and further details of its use.  Flower essence remedies are usually taken several times a day, under the tongue but can also be applied directly to the body or misted into the air with a spray bottle.  Cost of personalized remedies are separate from your consultation fee.

CranioSacral Therapy - CST

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on technique used to balance the cerebrospinal fluid contained within the spinal cord and brain.

Spirit Gate Naval Cupping

Spirit Gate Naval Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine technique used to remove cold from the body.  Cold enters the body through cumulative small exposures and can cause loss of vital chi.  Cold exposures include eating cold, raw food; icing of injuries and surgery sites; walking on cold floors; sitting on cold tile or marble floors, sleeping with a window open; taking cool showers to quell Summer heat.

Trapped cold can impact the body and make you feel worse when you are rundown or tired.  Cold slows your circulation and can interfere with homeostasis or your self-regulating body system.  The Naval Cupping technique involves using a glass cup to create a suction over the belly button.  After a while, the cup is replaced with warmed moxa to add heat to the body.  During treatment, additional heat is applied to the body using extra blankets and heated stones to warm hands, feet and legs.  Please call if you have more questions.  Check the MAKE AN APPOINTMENT page to schedule today!
