Heather Baker, CMT - wombworks massage, Sacramento, CA

This non-invasive, external massage technique supports proper alignment of the reproductive organs and releases restrictions to the flow of blood, lymph, nerves and chi. Uterine displacement and congestion can cause many of our female complaints plus other seemingly unrelated discomforts. These massage techniques were developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo DN, who apprenticed with Don Elijio Panti, one of the last traditional Maya healers. They are simple enough for you to learn and use on yourself daily. The sessions include the Maya strokes on the abdomon and extensive techniques on the sacrum, along with a client centered standard massage, making this a whole body experience.

What might a session offer you?

- A health her/his-story review with teaching of anatomy and strokes to use at home

-A safe place to experience other tools to support these releases: steams, herbal bathing, castor oil and clay pacs

- A safe place to find your center, experience who you are in your body and ways to stay there
