Welcome to your healing journey home to yourself and the divine being you are invited to be.

Everything I do is an invitation to become more of who you are.  I care deeply about Womens' and Mens’ health and the womb, reproductive, and digestive space of our bellies where we have an incredible opportunity to nourish and connect with our deepest, truest self.  

I discovered Maya Therapy while in Herb School in 1998.  I was suffering from really painful cramping at the beginning of my menstrual cycle and even though I knew all the anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory herbs and regularly drank red raspberry tea and supported my liver, I was taking Advil the first day of my cycle and feeling really guilty about it as I am a natural type of person.  

I was introduced to Maya Therapy as a way to shift the position of my uterus to help with my symptoms. Arvigo Technique® Maya Abdominal Therapy is an external massage to the abdomen to help neutralize the position of the uterus decreasing stagnation of blood, lymph, chi, and nerves and bring circulation to the lower abdomen and ovaries improving the hormonal feedback system. It is also used to improve digestive function and help balance any abdominal congestion or stagnation. After receiving a treatment and performing diligent self care, I was no longer experiencing the painful cramping I had been struggling with.

Kathleen is a truly gifted massage therapist. I have seen her for Maya Abdominal Massage for fertility issues (probably related to endometriosis) and a retroverted uterus. I had tried to get pregnant for about a year before I saw her. After several months of Kathleen’s work and doing the self-massage she taught me at home, I was able to conceive and went on to have a healthy baby boy. Kathleen was not only amazing at her physical art, but she was a wonderful, warm and supportive presence during a challenging time. As a health practitioner myself, I also refer clients to her when they want a natural approach to issues such as painful periods, ovarian dysfunction and infertility. I will forever be grateful for her work!

My first abdominal massage experience was terrific. I suffer from motility issues. My intestinal tract feels like it gets hung up throughout the digestive process. The abdominal massage gently assists my digestive process, allowing my gut to move again during and after the experience. I experience a great deal of muscle tension associated with the sporadic motility, which the abdominal massage also effectively releases. Kathleen incorporates self-healing through various techniques that I have embraced and incorporated into my lifestyle. I have a new respect for calm and peace, which I can attribute to my experience with Kathleen.
