WOMB MASSAGE

Maya abdominal massage is an ancient healing technique focusing on the muscles, organs and energy center of the womb & abdominal space. External massage is administered to reposition the digestive organs and reproductive area that may have shifted out of alignment which, if misaligned, can restrict blood flow and block nerve activity, lymph & chi. This work helps to ease tension & stress, aid menstrual difficulties, reproductive issues, infertility, displaced uterus, uterine fibroids, digestive disorders, lower back pain, urinary difficulties, balance hormones, and improve blood flow to the womb & digestive space to help carry out toxins. Beyond physical benefits, Maya abdominal massage can also help us to feel more whole and centered in our core, release emotional holding and increase our vital life force.  This massage technique has been used throughout time by healers of Central America in villages and healing temples. Through this practice, we honor the sacred womb space - the emotional energy center of creation -  with hands-on massage, flowers and herbal spiritual healing.

“The female pelvis is a powerhouse of energy transformation-the very throne of creation through which universal creative energy patterns course and flow.

This depends on balance within the system. A displaced uterus causes distortion, disrupting our state of homeostasis.” Rosita Arvigo

 An initial consultation typically lasts 2 hours. During this time, we review your intake form and history, then the remainder of the time will be spent on a massage table in treatment. The session will start with a warm castor oil pack to your womb, smudging with herbs and moxibustion with mugwort. Then, Maya abdominal massage is combined with cupping therapy on the back to help increase blood flow, carry out toxins and relieve muscle tension and stress. Follow up appointments typically include Maya abdominal massage, castor oil pack, cupping, plant brushing, energy work, Reiki, shamanic practices, and sound healing.

A brief lesson of self care massage, home castor oil packs and vaginal steaming is also included after your first few sessions. Herbal & flower essence recommendations, along with lifestyle changes are included in your initial consultation. My goal is to help empower one to take healing and self care into everyday life, to remember the old ways of Earth honoring and healing traditions and to step onto your honeyed path of your soul's journey. 

I look forward to supporting your journey to sacred womb health, harmony and empowerment.

 Flower essences are energetic imprints of the flowers, containing the vibrational energy. The energy of the flowers is captured in pure water and the sun’s rays. The water holds the energy of the plant, which is preserved with alcohol or vinegar. The archetype or message of the plant is contained in these drops. Vibrational medicines can improve negative thought patterns, emotions and work on a mind/body/spirit level. Working on our energy fields.

They can help to balance emotions and bring about mental, physical and spiritual wellness. Often our emotions and inner life can lead to physical symptoms and ailments. Tapping into our spiritual/soul self and creating change within. Connecting to our higher selves and intuition. Help to transform negative thought forms or patterns which can cause unhappiness, disharmony and imbalance. Create an inner resonance within our souls and to follow our soul’s path. 

Plant Spirit Medicine is a healing that works with the soul or spirit of the plant. Each plant holds an energetic imprint and life force that can help us on our path to healing and balance. A wisdom that is held deep within the earth. Plants are gathered in ceremony and prayer that can be used in plant brushing/lymphia, healing ceremony, protection bundles, smoking bundles and offerings to the earth. The life force of plants can help to move deep transformations within and without our bodies. They can bring a deep remembrance and healing that is held in our bones. Honoring the alive and greenness of the sacred plants of the earth.

HERBAL/FLOWER ESSENCE/
PLANT SPIRIT MEDICINE

Herbs are medicines from the earth that can assist your healing path. They can help balance, nourish, and tone your body to bring about wellness, wholeness and vitality. A healing that is present in our roots and ancestral remembrance. Weaving all aspects of our beings to help us along our life path. Bringing the goodness of the earth into our bodies to create harmony on a physical, mental and emotional level. Herbal medicines can be deeply nourishing to our bodies and soul. A deep remembrance and inner connection to ourselves. Living in some of the oldest mountains in the world, we are surrounded by a diverse flora. I create many of my own herbal preparations in the form of tinctures, elixirs, infused honey, and tea and support local medicine makers.

Allow the inner organs to to be massaged and cleansed to help release toxins, move the blood and lymph, reposition and release held emotions and memories that may be causing pain in the body.

WEAVING CEREMONY

A weaving holds the threads that can tell a story, hold a prayer, dreams or intentions. Through collaborative ceremonial work, we will work to create a sacred piece of woven cloth to adorn your home and hearth or body. A Weaving Ceremony is a collaborative container to create a piece that honors your Spirit, a life milestone or transition, or simple to invite in healing and prayer.

I weave cloths on my loom for altar spaces, tablecloths, medicine pouches, wraps as a prayer shawls/blankets, Rebozo to support womb space during pregnancy, baby blankets, and death shrouds.

My woven cloths are created in collaboration and with reverence, prayer, intention, remembrance, and beauty. These pieces honor the land, spirits and ancestors of place and time, weaving into being with wool, stone and plant medicine.
