Mayan Abdominal massage therapy
Supporting digestive, reproductive, and pelvic health — for women and men seeking balance through the centre of the body.
Whether you’re experiencing digestive discomfort, menstrual pain, fertility challenges, pelvic pain, or emotional difficulties, this therapy invites your body, mind, and spirit to soften, rebalance, and return to its natural rhythm.
Abdominal massage has long been part of traditional medicine across the world — rooted in the understanding that the belly is the body’s centre of health. When the abdomen and pelvis are in harmony, every system — digestive, reproductive, nervous, and hormonal — functions more smoothly.
At the heart of this practice is the belief that your body is always seeking to return to health. When something blocks that flow — whether physical, emotional, or energetic — symptoms can arise. Through gentle, rhythmic touch, this therapy helps to release congestion, stimulate circulation, and restore the body’s natural flow.
This lineage of work was passed down through Rosita Arvigo, who apprenticed with Don Elijio Panti, a traditional Maya healer in Belize. It’s a nurturing, grounded, and deeply therapeutic form of massage that honours the body’s innate intelligence.

"Suffering with PMT, tiredness,stress, I have adenomyosis and severe pains in my stomach I decided to try the abdominal massage
When I first met Maria I was overwhelmed with her sense of calm and peace. I was able to open up to her about my difficulties and I laughed and cried lots and she showed such compassion, empathy and understanding. There was such thought, care and power in her words.
The massage was the best I have ever had as Maria seemed to know exactly what was aching and applied the correct pressure. I almost felt high leaving the clinic.
After a few hours I had some pain but it comes and goes anyway but I feel a lightness and able to conquer a bit more since having my treatment having spent the week before in bed. For any woman facing hormonal symptoms it is a lovely way to relax and it may alleviate the symptoms and just to have the peace for the duration of the treatment ."

"I can not tell you how much better I feel since my treatment with you the other week!
Everything was quite painful for a few hours after but then quite suddenly later on the Friday night I noticed that my pain was gone! I’d had constant pain for just over 2 weeks before.
I had a pain free sleep that night and managed to do a whole day at work on the Monday pain free too. Although there have been some bits of pain since it’s definitely much reduced. " (Following abdominal surgery)

"I had an abdominal massage with Maria due to long-standing abdominal pain, and I found the experience incredibly helpful. Maria was very professional, and the treatment helped ease the discomfort, at least temporarily, which was already a big relief. What I especially appreciated was her focus on empowering me beyond the session: she took the time to teach me self-massage techniques and even sent me follow-up materials to use at home. It felt genuinely supportive and generous, and I left the session feeling both cared for and more in control of managing my symptoms."
