​

​

The Arvigo Technique of Maya Abdominal Therapy® is founded on the ancient healing systems of the Mayan culture. This tradition holds true that the womb / uterus is the center of a woman’s well-being. The technique is an external, non-invasive manipulation that supports the internal organs that have may have shifted, thereby restricting blood, lymph, nerve and prana and re-establishing balance through homeostasis and hemodynamics. This is a holistic approach to health care incorporating massage, anatomy and physiology, herbology, nutrition, and emotional & spiritual healing.

​

The Arvigo Technique was founded by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN who studied under traditional Mayan Shaman Don Elijio Panti and Miss Hortence Robinson in Belize along with other traditional Mayan healers. She has made it her life’s work to restore and preserve the old traditional methods of the Central American Rainforest.
