Abdominal Therapy is a gentle, hands-on holistic treatment that focuses on the abdomen and pelvis to support healthy functioning of the reproductive and digestive systems. It draws from traditional Maya healing techniques adding a modern understanding of how physical tension, organ alignment, and the circulation of NAVEL (Nerves, Arteries, Veins, Energy and Lymph) affect overall wellbeing.
Abdominal Therapy offers nurturing, supportive care for individuals or couples trying to conceive, whether naturally or alongside assisted fertility treatments, by working with the body on several interconnected levels.
Improved Circulation
By increasing NAVEL flow to the reproductive system, the treatment helps nourish these tissues with the oxygen, nutrients and hormones they need.
Optimal Organ Positioning
Tension, injury, scar tissue and daily stresses can all cause the reproductive organs to shift slightly out of their natural position. Abdominal Therapy can help improve alignment, which in turn reduces congestion and creates a more receptive internal environment.
Digestive Health
Digestive function and fertility are closely linked, as around 80% of our immune system resides in the gut. Improving abdominal wellbeing supports hormone regulation, nutrient absorption and immune balance.
Emotional and nervous system support
This approach promotes relaxation and helps to lower stress responses, an important factor in fertility, as both cortisol and adrenaline can interfere with hormonal balance.
During a session, I use carefully guided massage alongside gentle manipulation to encourage improved circulation, reduce congestion, and ease the muscles and connective tissues of the abdomen and pelvic areas.
My treatments also include personalised assessments and guidance, empowering you with simple self-care massage techniques to use at home, as well as additional supportive therapies such as castor oil packs, perineal steaming and faja wear and, most importantly, a safe space to be heard by someone who truly understands what you are going through.
