Arvigo Abdominal Therapy is a deep, hands-on treatment that puts the abdomen at the center of health. Ideal for rebalancing the reproductive system, improving digestion, and supporting fertility. Discover the personalized treatment at Mairuna.
Abdominal Therapy is an ancient approach to deep physical well-being. It is a practice of ancestral origin with roots in the Maya tradition. In its contemporary form, the method was systematized by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, who spent years studying with, and gathering knowledge from, traditional healers in Central and South America.
Among the people who most influenced her path were Don Elijio Panti, a shaman and healer, and Miss Hortens Robinson, a midwife and herbalist. From this meeting of ancient knowledge and clinical observation came a treatment that places the abdomen at the center of overall health.
You can learn more about the history of the method on the official Abdominal Therapy website, where I am listed as an accredited practitioner.
Arvigo Abdominal Therapy is much more than a simple massage: it is a course of realignment and care that combines techniques handed down by Maya healers with modern anatomical knowledge. This hands-on treatment works specifically on the abdominal and pelvic area, with the aim of supporting the correct position and normal function of the internal organs.
Through mindful, deep touch, it supports blood, lymphatic, and nerve circulation, helping to reduce congestion and tension that over time can upset the body's balance. A distinctive feature of this approach is that the person is at the center of their own healing process: in addition to the in-office session, you are taught a self-care routine that lets you continue the work in daily life.
This practice is suitable for women and men of all ages, because it stimulates the body's natural self-healing processes and works not only on the physical level but also on the emotional and energetic ones.
In our work at the Mairuna center, with a special focus on femininity, cyclicity, and motherhood, Abdominal Therapy proves especially effective in supporting the balance of the abdominal-pelvic area and the reproductive system.
Maya abdominal massage can be a valuable support for:
Every course of Abdominal Therapy at our center begins with a listening session, during which we take your personal health history and decide together on the approach that best fits your specific needs.
The heart of the treatment is the hands-on massage, which involves the abdomen and the back. This work promotes better tissue oxygenation and acts deeply on the fascia, muscles, and internal organs, supporting the release of built-up tension.
At the end of the session, you are taught a personalized self-care routine, a valuable tool that lets you continue the work on your own at home and build on the benefits over time.
If you'd like to start a path that puts your physical and emotional well-being at the center, Abdominal Therapy can be the ideal starting point.
