A Time for Self Care and Empowerment…
Hands on Health the Maya Way is a workshop designed for anyone seeking to improve personal health and wellness. It is a nurturing time to focus on your own digestive and reproductive health concerns such as painful or irregular periods, PMS, fibroids, fertility, difficult menopause, postpartum, postcesarean or hysterectomy scarring, constipation, IBS, indigestion, bladder infections, incontinence, or swollen prostate. This course is designed to educate and empower you to use your own two hands to help yourself! You will learn self care techniques that are founded on the ancient Maya method of abdominal massage.
Hands on Health the Maya Way will introduce you to Maya traditional healing, abdominal/pelvic anatomy and physiology, signs and symptoms of displaced organs (female and male), benefits of abdominal massage, contraindications, demonstration of the technique and group practice of self care massage, herbs and other Maya healing modalities.
This is an introductory class and no prior training is required. You will learn how to perform the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy on yourself. It is not intended to prepare an individual to apply this technique professionally. Massage therapists can earn 7 CEU hours under NCBTMB. Note that the massage cannot be done with an IUD or during the first trimester of pregnancy.
*Please wear elastic waist pants and bring a yoga mat / blanket and 2 pillows
