Hello, and welcome to Womb Abloom Belly Wellness Studio. I'm Teresa Harris, your Women's Holistic Health Professional. I'm very glad you're here! I started Womb Abloom Belly Wellness Studio ("Womb Abloom," for short) in the midst of a crisis of life, health and faith: facing unexplained infertility. Though one of the more challenging seasons of my life, I chose to allow for something good to emerge so, I left my full time job as a dental hygienist to pursue my passions for Yoga and therapeutic bodywork. I researched, traveled, made a laboratory out of my own body, charted my cycles, stood on my head, kicked, screamed, cried, prayed, and even for a time, despaired. As a result, Womb Abloom Belly Wellness Studio was conceived! My primary aim is to help women and girls as I have been helped: with professionalism and a holistic approach to reducing the harmful effects of stress on the body, mind and spirit. 

 

It's no secret that stress manifests in physical pain. For women, our most common stressors are body negativity, trouble maintaining energy levels, emotional armoring, negative thinking, anxiety and depression, past physical, sexual and emotional trauma, dismissing gut feelings, isolation, disconnection and inauthenticity in our most important relationships, achieving and maintaining work/life balance, and tending to the needs of others (sometimes at our own expense). These stressors and many others underlie most of our reproductive and digestive system complaints and disease, or "dis-ease," therefore, stress management is the medicine of the future.

​

One clinically-proven way to reduce stress and induce relaxation is to have regular Massage. At Womb Abloom, I specialize in the The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®, an ancient Mayan healing practice for addressing reproductive, maternity, and digestive health concerns. Using a gentle, non-invasive massage to the abdomen, lower back and sacrum we restore the flow of blood, nerves, energy, and lymph to the abdominal and pelvic cavities. During pregnancy, we keep the uterus in an optimum position for greater comfort and for labor and delivery. Castor oil packs, and Herbal PeriSteam Hydrotherapy are also used in conjunction with these techniques to maximize the benefits and help the body restore itself to balance.

​

Another clinically-proven, and I would even go so far as to say unsurpassed, 

way to reduce stress and induce the relaxation response in the body is to practice Yoga. Womb Abloom Yoga Therapy (coming soon!) is valuable for all students who can benefit from an approach to Yoga specifically designed for their unique health challenges. I'll be offering private sessions and online courses to help with female-specific health concerns like PMS, fertility challenges, pregnancy/postpartum challenges, and menopausal challenges.
