Abdominal Therapy

Abdominal Therapy is founded on an ancient Maya technique of abdominal massage, including pelvic treatment and correction. This technique is performed externally by gently guiding and supporting organs, soft tissue, and skeletal structures back into their optimal position, allowing for improved functioning for optimal health and wellness.


The techniques effectively alleviate tissue congestion and organ constriction to improve the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph and nerves in the abdomen and pelvis. It addresses and can release emotional and energetic tension from the abdomen. This assists to prevent the progression of chronic disease symptoms while improving the body’s ability to self-repair and balance. 

Abdominal Therapy supports and enhances health and wellness throughout the life cycle for women, men, and children.
