"My twins were born naturally and without intervention after a four hour labour. They were both head down, perfectly positioned and were born seven minutes apart. They were a good size too, over 15lbs together. It really healed the trauma of my previous births. I'm certain I had such an easy time because of Maya massage, both the treatments you gave me and the self care routine you taught me to do myself". K, mother of twins
Maya Abdominal Massage is centred around the ancient Mayan techniques that reposition organs that have dropped and restricted the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi energy. As with any other natural healing, Maya Abdominal Massage seeks to restore the body to its natural balance.
It can benefit your physical health, restoring circulation and lymphatic drainage, and relieving blockages. It can also ease muscles tightened by tension and emotion. Maya Abdominal Massage is a gentle, non-invasive external massage that guides internal organs into their proper positions for optimum health and well being. This massage is effective on both a physical and emotional level.
Maya Pregnancy Massage
Many of the problems that we take for granted and accept as a normal part of being pregnant can be prevented. You don't need to put up with spd, tired aching legs, varicose veins or swollen ankles, nor do you have to cope with sickness, headaches, or fluid retention. Maya Pregnancy Massage helps to relieve these and many other complaints.
Treating yourself to regular Maya Pregnancy Massages is relaxing and enjoyable for both you and the baby. It's a great way to encourage your baby into the optimum position ready for birth, leading to a shorter labour and easier birth for you both.
Maya Abdominal Massage
The massage addresses the position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs. The work is best known for the correction of the prolapsed, fallen, or tilted uterus and for the relief of many common digestive disorders.
The uterus should lean slightly over the bladder in the center of the pelvis and is held in this position by muscles, the vaginal wall and ligaments that attach it to the back, front, and sides of the pelvis. Uterine ligaments are made to stretch to accommodate a growing fetus inside and to move freely when the bladder or bowel is full. The ligaments and muscles can weaken and loosen, causing the uterus to fall downward, forward, backward or to either side.
A uterus in any of these positions is called tilted or prolapsed. Modern medicine has little or nothing to offer women with this problem. Options may include using the birth control pill, muscle relaxants, or surgery and women are generally told, "Your uterus is tipped, but that is normal and don't worry about it." Yet women have a laundry list of physical and emotional symptoms that can be addressed and prevented with these simple, non-invasive massage techniques. When reproductive organs shift, they can constrict normal flow of blood and lymph, and disrupt nerve connections. Just a few extra ounces sitting on blood and lymph vessels can cause havoc throughout the different systems in the body. By shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis, or the natural balance of the body, is restored in the pelvic area and the surrounding organs. Toxins are flushed and nutrients that help to tone tissue and balance hormones are restored to normal order. This is essential for healthy pregnancy, labour, and delivery.
Old
adhesions from invasive treatments to the pelvic and abdominal area,
including fibroid tumours, endometriosis, and caesarean delivery are
diminished when addressed by uterine massage. In addition, digestion,
urinary and bladder problems can be helped.
