For centuries, the Mayan people of Central America have effectively treated reproductive and digestive ailments with a combination of abdominal massage, realignment techniques, herbal preparations, and prayer. The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® (also sometimes referred to as Maya Abdominal Massage or Maya Womb Massage) is a comprehensive healing system integrating these traditional, ancient practices with the science-based, holistic medicine of today.
Arvigo® Therapy is a non-invasive, external massage that gently helps reposition internal organs that have shifted and restricted the flow of blood, lymph, nerve impulses and qi through the body. This helps restore balance so that your body is in an optimal space to begin healing. It is a very gentle therapy that can be applied throughout every stage of a woman, man, or child’s life.
This work effectively addresses pelvic and abdominal pain, digestive problems, and is best known for treating women’s reproductive health issues. I specifically specialize in helping others address their personal pelvic wellness and fertility and in assisting women enhance their pregnancy and postpartum wellness.
Additionally, this work helps to facilitate the healing of emotional trauma that is often a factor in reproductive and digestive health problems.
My favorite aspect, and a vital component, of this specific therapy is the practice of teaching self-massage techniques and other supportive modalities that you are able utilize on your own to support you on your individual healing journey.
Self-care techniques done regularly at home greatly enhance the work done with a practitioner by continuously creating full circulation and lymphatic flow, relaxing tight ligaments, connective tissue, and muscles, and to help tone weak areas.
By doing your self-care massage regularly, you will also feel more in control of your health. It’s a wonderful way to empower yourself on your healing path and to be physically and emotionally connected to the treatment process.
"I worked with Becki for about 5 months and saw great improvement in my symptoms, both digestive problems and irregular cycles, and in my overall attitude toward my abdomen and pelvic bowl. Becki is so warm and nurturing. I felt very comfortable, safe, and loved when in her care. I also loved learning about my internal organs, where they are, and how to care for myself through massage at home. Thank you!"

"I love the “self-care” aspect of Arvigo therapy. I like being able to have something I can do at home, between treatments, instead of having to turn to medications or other more invasive options. While working with Becki, we were able to directly address a health condition that modern medical therapy was not able to resolve."

"My favorite aspects of being in Becki's care are the intentionality brought to each session and the practitioner/client partnership in my health journey. I have noticed a feeling of more space and less tightness in my abdomen and diaphragm. My hips and lower back feel less locked and I have freer movement. I have a new awareness of parts of my body that felt disconnected before this work."
