The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® are founded
on the ancient Mayan technique of abdominal massage which is
an external, non-invasive manipulation of the abdomen,
lower back, and sacrum.
These healing techniques restore the flow of blood, lymph, nerves and energy to reproductive and digestive organs by gently repositioning abdominal and pelvic organs that may have shifted from trauma, pregnancy, injury, high impact exercise, abdominal or pelvic surgery, time and gravity, weak pelvic floor muscles, chronic muscle spasm, and emotional armoring, thereby alleviating reproductive and digestive complaints, and preventing the progression of symptoms to chronic dis-ease.
"Everyone plugs in their phone and electronic devices to get charged, you too need to be renewed and recharged..." Dr. Rosita Arvigo

What to expect during & after a session
What to Expect During a Session
At your Initial Session you will have
-
a comprehensive review of your past and current healthcare needs focusing on reproductive and/or digestive health.
-
applied Arvigo Therapy,®
-
instructions for the Self-Care techniques to use at home between sessions
The intention of each session is to promote vital flow of blood, nerves, energy, and lymphatics to support your body's inherent healing capacity. At all sessions, I will administer upper and lower abdominal massage to help align reproductive and digestive organs to optimal position and evaluate and treat pelvic alignment to improve circulation to these systems.
Draping will be used to protect your privacy while also allowing you to remain covered and warm during your session.
What to Expect After a Session
After your Initial Session you will receive a Session Summary of our discussion and recommendations for improving your symptoms.
Proper positioning and improved flow enhance your body's natural healing abilities and bring balance to the upper and lower abdomen. Often this does not happen without some kind of initial, but temporary setback. Responses to this treatment may range from mild cramping to a full-on healing crisis, or a general serene and relaxed feeling. The belly may feel tender or bruised.
The first menses after starting treatment sessions and diligent home Self-Care, there may be more cramping, more bleeding, passing of clots and debris. This is typically the only menstrual period to behave this way.
Suzi E.,
Massage Therapist
"As a massage therapist of almost 20 years I've never experienced this kind of work. I was not expecting the type of results that I received. Even after the first treatment I felt lighter and felt like it brought release to my entire body."
Jessica R.,
Nursing Student
"I was seeing Teresa for Arvigo Therapy for painful periods that would keep me home from work and school and in bed for days. Teresa always took time to explain everything she did, why she was doing it and how it helps. She also went above and beyond in making sure I was doing Self-Care correctly, and following up with me between sessions. I am very happy with the results. It reduced my pain and how long I experienced it, and after a year, I am still enjoying the benefits of the treatments. I am learning to see my body in a new way and I am so grateful."
Caroline J.,
Birth Doula/
Childbirth Educator
"I am a 3rd time mom, doula, and childbirth educator and I would highly recommend Teresa for prenatal massage from my own experience with her! I got the best massage in my 3rd trimester. I was nervous because I've heard stories of women that just could not get comfortable enough that late in pregnancy to enjoy a massage but she made it such a comfortable experience. She's easy to talk to and you can tell her compassion is real. She took her time on the areas that were bothering me. Plus I enjoyed her use of essential oils, she is very knowledgeable at what she does. Professional and caring. I will be sending my clients to her!"
Pam R.,
Homemaker
Teresa made room for me in her heart and met me right where I was at. She listened to me, then offered me invaluable input on the where and why of my current condition. What she shared resonated so deeply that I would change things in my life THAT day. Teresa walked with me, encouraged me to breathe and waited ever so patiently as I got back in touch with myself (mind, body & spirit). She granted me permission that day to just be. I am still healing but most importantly, I have had a healing from the inside out.
