Healing Interventions

  • Mayan Abdominal Massage

    The uterus is the women's center. If her uterus is not in its proper position and in good health, nothing in her life will be right. She will be as out of balance as her uterus.

    ~Don Elijio Panti

    Don Elijio used humor, massage, herbal remedies from the rainforest, prayer and spiritual healing to treat people throughout Central America with his simple uterine massage techniques. Maya Abdominal Massage for the reproductive and digestive systems has been known and practiced for thousands of years, having been passed down in an unbroken chain of midwives and healers. Dr. Rosita Arvigo apprenticed with Don Elijio and Miss Hortence Robinson, a renowned herbal midwife in Belize. Rosita combined her apprenticeship with her experience as a Naprapath to form The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT)

    ATMAT uses non-invasive external massage techniques on the abdomen and the pelvis can help to bring the uterus and prostate into proper position, soften the musculature, reduce tension, align the pelvis, and release emotional armoring. These techniques influence the five channels of flow: arteries, veins, lymph, nerves and chi, re-establishing health and vitality to the reproductive and digestive systems. All people benefit from these techniques.

    Deb is a Certified Professional ATMAT provider under the guidance of Rosita Arvigo. https://rositaarvigo.com/

  • Spiritual Healing/Energy Medicine

    Spiritual/Energetic Cleansing has been used in many traditions around the world. Healings may involve plants, stones, water, smoke, Reiki, drums, rattles, cord cutting, soul retrieval, prayers, spiritual bathing, flower essences to help clear grief, anger, fear, sadness, envy, and/or other heavy energies from the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual body.

    Deb has 25 years of experience in Energy Medicine. She is a Reiki master and offers classes to learn this relaxation/healing technique.

  • Ceremony

    Ceremony can facilitate deep transformation, allowing one to release energies that no longer serve one's highest good. Ceremony can bring a sense of quiet centeredness, insight, celebration, closure, healing, and joy to one's mind, body and spirit. When gathered in a community, ceremony and ritual can increase in its ability to transform on an even deeper level.

    Some of the ceremonies have been passed down from Traditional Healers/ Teachers. They have given permission and encouraged students to bring the ceremonies back to their communities. Deb has many years of experience, creating/ facilitating ritual and ceremony.

  • Pelvic Steam

    The Pelvic Steam, sometimes referred to as Vaginal Steam or Yoni Steam, is an ancient treatment that has been practiced in many traditions throughout the world at one time or another. It may assist those who are suffering from fertility challenges, menstrual issues, chronic vaginal infections, ovarian cysts, fibroids, or scarring from reproductive surgeries. It may also relieve back pain. Either in an individual session or ceremonial setting, this gentle treatment supports reproductive health.

    The elements of earth, fire, water, and air are blended together to create a sense of the sacred. As one sits on a specially made sauna (earth) in a quiet relaxing setting, wrapped in a shawl and sarong for comfort, the warmth of the steam (fire/water) and the aroma of the herbs (earth/air) bring a person into a deeper sense of themselves.

    Deb learned the initial techniques from Rosita Arvigo during ATMAT training. She continued her studies to become a certified Vaginal Steam Facilitator.

  • Cupping

    Cupping is an ancient way of healing. It has been practiced in almost every culture at some time throughout history as a way to keep the body healthy and vital. Cupping helps to clear illness, strengthens and balances the organs, rebuilds the chi, moves emotions and removes toxins and congestion, which helps to return the body to a balanced state so it can heal. It is great for bringing deep relaxation to the muscle tissue and breaking up adhesion that limits one's range of motion.

    Deb received her cupping Training from Julia Graves - a flower essence creator/practitioner, master herbalist, psychotherapist author and homeopath.

    She became certified through Adagio Holistic Wellness with Kim Hart

    Cups are set on the body for a period of time. After removing the cups, arnica oil is applied and the area is massaged. Cups may also be moved over the area to help break up adhesions or move emotions. Both experiences provide a deep penetrating feeling within the muscle tissue similar to a deep tissue massage.

  • Flower Essences

    Flower essences effectively help us recognize and rid ourselves of limiting or destructive patterns of behavior.

    A flower essence is the vibrational imprint of a flower that has been transferred and stabilized in water. Working through the chakras and meridians of the body, this vibration begins to harmonize the vibration of the emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. We notice our limitations and dis-harmonies begin to change, offering one a sense of peace
