recently shared these amazing stories with me, beautiful experiences from Mayan Abdominal Massage Self-Care practice. This work is not just about a practitioner – it is all about each of us learning how to care for ourselves, our bodies, and our spirits. I hope you enjoy and find amazement and beauty in each of these as I did!

“A young woman in college – my daughter’s friend – came to me for the Maya massage because she was having such painful periods she was missing work a couple days a month. I did one treatment on her and then she did the Self Care daily. By her next period there was no more pain.

Another woman in her 30s came to a Self Care workshop and received an abdominal treatment only and then did her Self Care. She also had experienced very painful periods most of her life. She is now pain free and just had a baby! She is so excited about the work that she created my biggest ever workshop!

I had a woman in her late 30s who was trying to get pregnant via artificial insemination. It had not worked twice. She came to me and after her treatment did the Self Care for just a couple of weeks until she ovulated, at which time she did an insemination. She got pregnant and had her baby!

A pregnant client of mine had been in an auto accident prior to being pregnant. The car she was riding in had flipped. At 20 weeks gestation her uterus was markedly to her right – out of alignment and quite uncomfortable. We worked on her for just 10 minutes and her uterus moved to the center. It stayed there the rest of her pregnancy.

An older woman in her late 60s came to me for a treatment. She had intestinal issues.
I got a call about 30 minutes after her treatment. She reported on my message machine that she had had the most wonderful bowel movement!

A postpartum woman with a prolapsing uterus was able after a few months of Self Care to bring her uterus up so that it was no longer bothering her.

A woman with painful intercourse came for a treatment with me and then did her Self Care for six months. She no longer has painful intercourse – quite a boon for her and her husband.

Another woman in her 40s had urinary urgency and occassional drippling issues. She took the Self Care workshop and did her Self Care for three months. Her issues were 80% improved. With additional yoga and Self Care as needed she no longer has those issues.

It is important for people to understand that the real healing power of this work is the daily Self Care massage. A few sessions with a practitioner can help but it is the daily work that changes the body, relieving congestion so that the body can heal itself.
