maya abdominal massage
ancient healing for modern times
Maya Abdominal Massage is a traditional technique from Central America with many benefits. If you have painful periods, irregular cycles, fertility issues, menopause symptoms, or digestive problems, this massage can provide relief.
Maybe various solutions have been tried—like birth control, pain meds, dieting, exercise changes, or medical procedures—without finding relief.
At Oxford Well Woman, the focus is on boosting blood and lymph flow to reproductive and digestive organs to reduce stagnation and improve overall health. This massage helps organs settle into their best positions to function optimally.
The approach goes beyond just the massage. It explores how understanding the menstrual cycle (whether there are periods or not) or embracing menopause can increase energy and wellbeing.
how does it work?
Initial Session: A 2-hour consultation to talk about what’s happening in the body and find any imbalances.
Follow-Up Appointments: 60-minute sessions.
The treatment includes belly and back work to align the pelvis, and self-massage techniques are taught, so the healing power in your own hands can be harnessed.
is abdominal massage painful?
If you have a difficult cycle then you may be worried about increased pain. The work will be as gentle as you need it to be and stronger if you prefer. Your feedback will be the gauge as to how deep we go.
when is the best time for me to come for abdominal massage?
Cycles are complex and there are often concerns about optimal times to receive a treatment. It is best to avoid coming if you are on your period. If you are trying for a baby and you have had unprotected sex during your fertile times then it’s best to wait until the end of your next period.
is it an internal massage?
Due to the nature of the work, this is a common assumption! You’ll be pleased to hear that the answer is no. Your Abdominal Massage is a lovely treatment that works over the skin and is not invasive.
how many treatments will I need?
When you are trying everything you can to resolve an issue, things can get very expensive. Ideally you would come twice a month for three months. However, the beauty of this work is that you will practise a daily form of self massage which will deepen the effects of the therapy. If your purse strings are stretched, you can continue the work at home!
can I have this massage if i’ve had a hysterectomy?
Yes, even when your womb has been removed there is still space and the energetic resonance of your womb. This can support your other organs in finding their new space, heal scars and help your body find a balanced and comfortable ‘new normal’
