This massage helps to support the bodies natural healing capacity to prevent disease within the body.
History and Lineage of the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® are a combination of science and ancient tradition that an American women, Dr. Rosita Arvigo, developed throughout her lifetime of studying the human body and the healing properties of plants. She has lived in Central America for over thirty years apprenticing with several healers including Don Eliijio. He was a Shaman in Belize who was famous for his uterine massage techniques and extensive knowledge of rain-forest plants. She also studies with Miss Hortence Robinson, a renowned herbal midwife in Belize. Combining the ancient wisdom and modern science Rosita was able to develop The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® to address digestive and reproductive ailments and gives clients self care tools to nurture and heal their own bodies. In 1994 she began the Arvigo Institute to teach other health practitioners this powerful and sacred work.
