I have just completed a pregnancy massage class through The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy. It was a wonderful class with lots of information on how to assist during preconception with or without ART. There are 3 focuses of Maya Abdominal Therapy at this time. The first being the health of the woman, 2nd the relationship with their partner and third would be a baby.
I found this piece of information on the Arvigo website.Dr Arvigo sums up the class like this:
“We are able to help because we know that allopathically trained physicians have little knowledge of the importance of uterine position, often the cause of unexplained infertility. We rely on the normalization and strengthening of homeostasis and hemodynamics, H & H as we like to refer to them. Homeostasis is balance within that refers to all physiological systems, glands and organs working in harmony with each other as nature intended. Hemodynamics is the unimpeded flow of arterial and venous blood. When these two function optimally, the bodys innate ability to heal itself reigns, and healing miracles occur. Arvigo practitioners know that we are not the fixers, but rather the hands that assist the bodys dynamic forces to function at the highest efficiency; we facilitate the healing process. When trying to conceive, a womans ovaries, cervix, vagina, uterus, anterior pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid and nervous, circulatory, lymphatic systems must all work in tandem for her. Assisting these internal dynamics to achieve balance is what we do best.”
