Abdominal Therapy

Whether your symptoms are acute or chronic, it can often be an ongoing battle to maintain peace and harmony with your belly.

You might have been struggling with this for so long you question whether it will ever change

I was there too.

It has taken me years to end my battle with the belly with it’s laundry list of health complaints. My own search took me as far as the rainforests of Belize where I undertook life changing studies with Dr Rosita Arvigo. Studies were often distracted by the beautiful “Belizean Blue” butterfly fluttering under my nose.. This magnificent butterfly begins it’s life cycle as a tiny dewdrop shaped pale green egg. Soon after it changes into a voraciously hungry caterpillar, then into the bizarre form of what looks like a sleeping tequila worm, and finally into a dazzling beauty! It is the art of transformation and is a reminder of what is possible once we let go and lighten up.

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.

Through working with Danielle to shift my thinking, to control what I can control, ensuring you take a deep breath 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.

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 intensely 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 it was worth every minute! I cannot find the words to say THANK YOU enough! 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 to me. He did an ultrasound again, he was pressing on my belly, checking all over, pressing, checking - nothing. I asked him if he can see at least a little, and he said nothing, he told me that this cycle is completely normal and there is no sign of any polycystic ovaries. I told him that my skin is now 90% better. I feel better, no pains in my belly anymore,… he couldn’t believe it!

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 bloating 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 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!

The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy

The Arvigo techniques address the position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs. The work is best known for the correction of the prolapsed, retroverted, fallen, or tilted uterus and for the prevention and treatment of benign prostate enlargement in men, and for relief of many common digestive disorders and symptoms.

Based on over fifty years of training and experience in massage, naprapathy, herbology, and spiritual healing, Dr. Rosita Arvigo (pictured opposite with Danielle) developed these techniques which now bear her name. This modality incorporates a holistic approach to health care which includes massage, as well as emotional support.

Dr. Arvigo believes that with any natural healing technique, these areas must be simultaneously addressed to promote optimal health. Dr. Arvigo learned these techniques from her mentor, Don Elijio Panti, one of the last great Maya Shaman of Belize, Central America with whom she apprenticed for ten years.

Give nature half a chance, and she has a miracle in store for everyone.
