This will change the way you
think and feel about your belly
Abdominal Therapy offers a unique fusion of ancient wisdom alongside modalities including The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®, Belief Coding® and Reproflexology®
The treatment involves gentle manipulation of organs to ensure proper positioning, diaphragmatic release to aid cardiovascular flow, lymphatic drainage and spinal and hip realignment through gentle body work.
Where other natural and medical approaches have not offered long term relief, this highly effective treatment has been helping people get on top of common reproductive and digestive health issues.
The result? The restoration of proper and optimal functioning of the belly and the organs that reside there. Giving these organs the respect, understanding, support that they most need helps them to fire on all cylinders.
As they flourish in a much healthier happier environment the toxicity that creates a breeding ground for
dis-ease, symptoms and conditions diminishes and disappears.
Abdominal Therapy is suitable for both MEN and WOMEN.
A happy healthy belly means a happy healthy you!
Abdominal Therapy with Danielle feels like I have Marie Kondo’d my belly from the inside out. So much stuff locked down in there that it feels so good to chuck out anything that feels outdated, stuck and toxic and keeping only things that spark joy in my little cells that make up these amazing abdominal organs.

How it has helped others…
I’m so glad I came to see you. I wish I hadn’t have left it so long! I did some of the self healing the evening after and day after our session and was really surprised how much shifted.

Danielle It was so very lovely to see you and I can see why you are successful - you have a delightful way with people.

I want to thank you again for our last session and for creating such a supportive and safe environment. I was feeling so ungrounded and you really helped me re-group and focus. I came back to myself and my body was thankful for it! I got my period immediately after our session and I believe it’s because you helped my body and mind relax.

I saw Danielle because I was suffering with very severe attacks of pain during ovulation and painful periods. After my first session with Danielle, my tummy felt incredibly light and actually felt comfortable for the first time in years. After further sessions, my period and ovulation pain has dramatically reduced and I feel emotionally lighter. I also love that Danielle gives you the tools to help you take control of your healing and self-care. Danielle is a gentle, nurturing, intuitive, skilled practitioner and I would highly recommend her beautiful treatments.

I highly recommend Danielle's sessions. She is so gentle, present and accepting. Her wonderful treatments and wisdom have really helped me on my holistic journey.

Such a beautiful therapy and Danielle is a wonderful person. I am so much more in tune with my tummy thanks to her work.

Through working with Danielle to shift my thinking, to control what I can control, ensuring you take a deep breathe and staying positive it has changed my energy and helped me create a positive and happier me.

I went to Danielle with severe gut trouble and I thought it was just my gut she was going to help me with. However I didn’t anticipate that it was in fact just speaking with her that has had the greatest effect on me. Her gentle and loving nature is in itself a great teacher for healing.
Caitlin, Melbourne Australia
I had no idea how alive and powerful my belly was until I worked with Danielle. One day when coming out of Danielle's treatment room, I felt as though I was floating in the absolute bliss of being truly alive and connected. I could feel the trees breathing at the same pace as my own! It was a true gift to be graced by Danielle's work. I shall never forget it and I highly recommend her wonderful skills to help you shift into so much more of yourself.

Since meeting Danielle, I have learned so much about my body. I didn't know any different, as my periods had always been intensly painful. I thought it was normal to have clots & that level of pain. However, since our 2 sessions, my pain has gone from 100% down to about 20%. I no longer have clots which i think goes hand in hand with the intense pain. This is life changing! I used to HAVE to take a day off work each month. Now I just have to mindfully slow down. The pain is minimal. So if you suffer with intense period pain & you think that's just how it is, think again! I highly recommend Danielle's unique, compassionate therapy.

I cannot describe with words how happy I am! I just came home from my gynaecology check after 6 months! There are no signs of PCOS anymore!!! My effort is rewarded! If I’m honest, it was really hard as I was addicted to chocolate and carbohydrates but was worth it every minutes! I cannot find neither words to say THANK YOU enough as you are helping me! I really appreciate this, thank you thank you very much! You should see the face of my gynaecologist when I told him that I didn’t take any hormones pills which he gave it to me. He did ultrasound again, he was pressing on my belly, checking all over, pressing, checking - nothing. I ask him if he can see at least a little, and he said nothing he told me that this cycles is completely normal and there is no sign of any polycystic ovaries. I told him that my skin is now 90% better, my average temperature is 35,5°C in the middle of cycles is 36,2°C, 7 days period, when I have ovaries, my whites is like egg white, I feel better, no pains in belly anymore,… he couldn’t believe it that I know all this needed info! But he didn’t ask me what I done, I just told him that I did it with food and that I have castus agnus for hormones.

At 29 I had suffered with cramps, gas and bloating for many years. Most days after lunch my stomach would get so bloated I looked like I was 4 months pregnant. I couldn’t hold my tummy in because of the cramps and stiches. It was uncomfortable, embarrassing and would last for the rest of the day. Also although I had previously never suffered terribly with period pain, they were starting to become more painful – I woke up one night with such severe pains I practically couldn’t move. After my first session of Abdominal Therapy I noticed a staggering difference. My bloating and cramps were much less and my periods have since been almost entirely pain free. After the second session, my symptoms of boating and pain are pretty much entirely gone. My stomach is back to flat (it used to be like that all the time, but I’d forgotten as it had been so long since Id seen it like that!). The self care was taught to me so well that even though Its been several weeks since my last session, I feel still reap the benefits of Abdominal Therapy by doing it on myself. I think that not only has my body has benefited immensely from Abdominal Therapy, but my mind has too. Thank you Danielle!

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease just over a year ago. Whilst the worst symptoms of this initial flare-up passed after numerous months of drug-based anti-inflammatory therapy, I was left with strange sensations in my stomach and a feeling that things weren’t quite in the right place. I was also anxious about what the disease would mean for me into the longer term, and what might cause the symptoms to flare up again. I was interested in having Maya Abdominal Therapy treatment, due to its focus on guiding internal organs into the correct position for feeling well, and have now had three sessions. The therapy has had a really positive effect for me – things have settled down a lot in my stomach, and I no longer hold onto my side all the time. I don’t feel the general discomfort that I was experiencing, and which made me want to lie down and stretch out a lot of the time, and feel generally really well within myself. I am also feel less anxiety in the stomach region, which I had felt was originally the cause of a lot of my problems, and I feel the therapy has helped with all of these things.

I have suffered from IBS since I was 12 years old and it has progressively got worse through the years, Danielle’s expert massages have helped me to be able to relax my stomach and by teaching me the methods I will be able to continue the treatments even though I am moving abroad.
Kate, Melbourne Australia
The Mayan Abdominal Therapy for me was an utterly magical experience. I found the sacral massage very relaxing and releasing, and the abdominal massage, for some reason, filled me with a profound sense of joy; great waves of joy. I wanted to jump off the table and dance with joy!
Penny, Sydney Australia
Abdominal Therapy healed a burden I didn’t know I was carrying. A huge shift took place within me. Afterwards, I was drained but felt a profound sense of lightness and peace
Thanks very much for your nurturing treatment. I definitely felt and am feeling the benefits, I feel more open and relaxed in my whole abdo area and feel some shifts in general and feeling greater clarity and balance in myself..more grounded and less cluttered in myself.
Mayan Abdominal Therapy is such deeply profound work. I feel it has initiated the birth of the Sacred feminine within me, as all the cellular memories are released, and my true essence is finally set free. I see Danielle’s role as being like a spiritual midwife, helping us to give birth to ourselves. Heartfelt thanks for this precious gift.
I truly believe my treatments with Danielle greatly assisted me connecting with my body in a more positive way and helped me to become a lot more relaxed about conceiving and put me into a state of ‘trust’ that if I relaxed and remained open nature would take its course and sure enough it did.
Firstly thank you so much for the wonderful massage. It was a most enjoyable experience which left me feeling totally relaxed and nurtured! You have the wonderful ability to at once provide a safe, caring environment, while instilling a sense of confidence in your healing abilities and a knowing that you understand individual client needs. In what was potentially a challenging experience, I nevertheless felt at ease throughout the process. Secondly, thankyou also for the knowledge you impart regarding the self care techniques. I really am so excited at the prospect of the gradually improving health of my reproductive, digestive, endocrine etc systems and knowing I am learning the procedures to treat myself!
Thank you so much, for a beautiful, powerful treatment. You have a lovely touch; very gentle and reassuring. As for my uterus, well whatever we did – the talking about her, the treatment to her – we woke her up! I love, love, loved the way you spoke of her. Really brought her into being. All night last night I kept half awakening – maybe 10 times – and every time she was talking! I have no idea what she was saying, but talking she was. It was all I could think about as I half woke and went back to sleep. Chatter, chatter, chatter! Wow, she has a lot to say!
Danielle’s exceptional kindness and love of the Feminine provided my wounded soul and body with a truly safe place to exist and start healing. The humanity and touch was a drastic and welcome change from the cold clinical world of diagnostics and harsh clinical terms that had come to define me as a problem with feet. Body and soul made happy. Now we’re talking! Thank you Danielle!
Danielle has this way of making you feel so relaxed and calm, she even taught me how to do my own abdominal massage to ensure I keep the benefits of a calm digestive system going which is awesome and easy to stick to. Thank you so much Danielle.
Danielle’s ability to impart her knowledge prior to the abdominal therapy was paramount to getting the most of my session. Danielle is passionate about her practice and I was fascinated by the many and varied ways in which Maya abdominal therapy could assist.
I was very nervous when I met Danielle (due to the unknown) but her sense of calm and peace put me at ease immediately. She explained the process of the massage and answered all my questions (and there were a few!). Once on the massage table, my body started to relax and Danielle’s gentle touch (I realised upon awakening) put me to sleep. I awoke feeling rejuvenated, rested and relaxed like I had awoken from a deep slumber. I will definitely be going back!
To say the therapy is relaxing is an understatement! I was floating, present and nurtured in this treatment, I can’t recommend Abdominal Therapy enough for those who are being ruled by their tummies physically and emotionally. Danielle’s support and after care is also divine. Please don’t steal all Danielle’s Sydney appointments!
It seems every time I see you shorty after I start to understand so much more about myself… You truly are an amazing person. Meeting you has been such an integral part of my life…
You are beyond wonderful (and amusing) and my uterus and I send our appreciation.
I just wanted to write to let you know I have noticed a great difference from our first massage. As you know I suffer from bloating and a distended stomach. Well after the massage I went to work and a colleague said it looked smaller!! The next day I definitely noticed this too!! It has shrunk and it feels a lot softer. It looks smaller at the sides and top. My husband thinks you’re amazing and so do I. I feel like there is light at the end of a very long tunnel. It would mean so much to me if I didn’t have to suffer the embarrassment of this anymore. Thank you for your skill, care, efforts, and gentleness. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself.
Thanks Danielle. I have made some very big life changes over the past 12 months and have really been on a journey of self-inquiry. The treatments I had with you, were really the beginning of what has been – and continues to be – an epic journey! One of the things I have learned is that I hold and direct a lot of my emotions into my belly and it manifests physically. It feels so wonderful to be more in touch with my physical self and to understand that negative thoughts and emotions can manifest physically. I am looking forward to touching base with the treatment again and seeing what comes up!
Thank you for being a shining light and generous, inclusive soul.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift of healing. With your help this year, I have been able to explore a deeper part of myself that I love. You are an angel on earth.
