My abdominal work is a gentle and effective combination of Maya abdominal, lymphatic, myofascial, and energetic techniques. I listen to my hands to find areas that need attention. Through training and over six years of experience working on the abdomen I can apply the best technique for your needs.

During a session, external manipulation gently relaxes the core and guides the abdominal organs into proper alignment. This work encourages the flow of nutrient rich blood into the area. Organs in their optimal position function more effectively and allow for the free flow of blood, lymph, and nerve signals, bringing the whole body into balance.

Relief from a variety of conditions

Reproductive Health

• Painful / Irregular Periods

• Postpartum Care

• Infertility*

• Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome

• Endometriosis

• Menopause

For pelvic pain I strongly recommend combining abdominal work with pelvic floor physical therapy. As a massage therapist I am not licensed to perform the internal work you may need.

*Abdominal work is a wonderful compliment for clients working with other fertility specialists. It is outside of my scope of practice to diagnose or treat the core causes of infertility.

What to expect from a session

I will start each session with a series of gentle strokes on your abdomen. Each stroke lightly impacts the organs and ligaments located between your pubic bone and rib cage. Draping with a chest cover will be used at all times while your abdomen is exposed.

While organ manipulation is a major part of abdominal treatments, you might be surprised to learn that only a small portion of your session focuses on the abdomen. I will also spend time palpating and stretching your sacrum, hips, low back, and glutes. Soft tissues in these areas provide crucial support for your pelvic floor- the foundation on which the abdominal organs rest. Pelvic alignment has a powerful impact on the position and health of your reproductive and digestive organs.

Following your session, I can teach you a simple self-care routine. I can provide you with resources and will be available for questions that may arise.
