ABDOMINAL BODYWORK

Abdominal Massage & Visceral Therapy

Reconnect, recover, and return to your center with hands-on healing.

Rediscover your center

There’s a deep intelligence within each of us—a core that knows what’s right, what’s wrong, and who we are even when our mind feels scattered. For many, early experiences may have disrupted this connection, leaving the body and nervous system out of balance.

Abdominal Massage and Visceral Therapy offer a holistic, hands-on approach to reconnect with your belly, restore energy flow, and bring sensation, movement, and life back to your core. This therapy supports alignment, emotional integration, and long-term wellbeing.

Lineages of Support

  • Arvigo Techniques Maya Abdominal Therapy® is rooted in ancient Mayan healing traditions. Developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo under the mentorship of Maya H’Men Don Elijio Panti, it combines external, non-invasive manipulation with herbal knowledge, nutrition, and emotional & spiritual healing.

  • Visceral Manipulation (Barral Institute) addresses organ-specific restrictions in fascia and connective tissue. By “listening” to the tissues, trained hands restore mobility, improve posture, and enhance internal communication for optimal body function.

  • bridges the abdomen and cranial rhythms, releasing tension in both the core and the cranium, supporting nervous system regulation, and enhancing overall integration.

  • Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) works with the fascial network to release restrictions that affect your core, spine, and overall posture. By addressing long-held tension patterns in fascia, ATSI helps the body regain alignment, improve movement, and restore freedom in both the torso and the abdominal region. 

Healing Benefits of Abdominal Massage

Spiritual healing in the Arvigo tradition also promotes embodiment, trauma release, and energy flow, helping the body return to a state of wholeness where life force energy (chu’lel) moves freely.
