I'm a Board Certified Massage Therapist (since 2002), a Certified Professional Midwife (2012) and a practitioner of the Arvigo™ Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage (2001). I combine all of my years of experience in therapeutic bodywork, women's health and wellness, pregnancy and birth care and abdominal massage in my healing sessions. My practice is beneficial for men and women and focuses on a holistic approach to pain relief and resolution as well the elimination of the primary causes of reproductive and digestive complaints in both men and women. About the Arvigo™ Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT):
ATMAT is an external, non-invasive, gentle massage, using only the hands to reposition reproductive organs, improve blood and lymph flow to digestive organs, and correct the alignment of the bony pelvis to provide an optimal framework for the abdominal organs.
