Mayan Abdominal Womb Massage

Womb & Pelvic Care > Mayan Abdominal Womb Massage

Mayan Abdominal Massage is an ancient healing technique rooted in the Mayan midwifery tradition, designed to support the womb, uterus, ovaries, pelvic floor, sacrum, and digestive organs. It helps restore proper alignment, improve circulation, and encourage overall organ mobility.

In my integrative approach, this work is combined with craniosacral therapy and gentle full-body techniques, creating a deeply nurturing session that addresses tension, stored emotion, and energetic blocks throughout the body.

How It Works:

  • Gentle external abdominal massage and targeted pressure release restrictions in fascia, connective tissue, and ligaments supporting pelvic organs.

  • Integration of craniosacral therapy balances the sacrum, spine, and nervous system.

  • This work addresses the body as a fully connected system, going beyond structural alignment to support:

    • Digestive function and relief from bloating

    • Menstrual or uterine discomfort

    • Pelvic floor tightness and lower back tension

    • Emotional and energetic release stored in the abdomen and pelvis

Recommended For:

This work supports individuals experiencing:

  • Digestive discomfort, bloating, or sluggish digestion

  • Menstrual cramps, irregular cycles, or uterine tension

  • Pelvic floor tightness, sacral discomfort, or lower back tension

  • Postpartum recovery or scar tissue release

  • Anyone seeking deeper embodiment, internal awareness, and whole-body alignment

Lineage & Training

This work is offered in the lineage of traditional Mayan midwifery. I honor my teachers’ teachings while integrating modern modalities such as craniosacral therapy and full-body integrative work to support holistic wellness and embodied presence.

F.A.Q.

  • Each initial session begins with a compassionate consultation where we discuss your over all health history, current symptoms, and healing goals. You'll lie comfortably on the massage table as I use gentle, non-invasive techniques on your abdomen, lower back, and sacrum.

    Most clients describe the experience as deeply relaxing, with sensations ranging from subtle releases to profound emotional openings. Some experience gurgling sounds as digestion activates, warmth as circulation improves, or tender points where congestion is held.

    You'll also learn self-care massage techniques, herbal support and castor oil pack application to practice at home between sessions, empowering you to continue your healing journey independently.

  • While some people experience immediate relief, Mayan Abdominal Massage is most effective as a series of treatments. Depending on your specific needs, I may recommend:

    • Weekly sessions initially for acute conditions

    • Bi-weekly treatments for ongoing support

    • Monthly maintenance for sustained wellness

    Each body heals at its own pace. I honor your unique timeline and work in sacred partnership with your body's wisdom.

  • This therapy is not appropriate during:

    • Active infection or fever

    • Recent abdominal surgery (within 6-8 weeks)

    • Cancer within the abdominal or pelvic area

    Please discuss any concerns during our initial consultation.

  • Mayan abdominal massage is indicated for pre and post hysterectomy support as it supports the reduction of scar tissue and optimal organ alignment post surgery.

  • Results vary depending on the individual. While some may notice improvements after one session, three sessions are typically recommended. Regular self-care and proper techniques enhance and sustain the benefits over time.
