Mayan Abdominal Massage

The Mayans believe the west has forgotten the benefit of touch when it comes to healing the organs. Though many of us instinctively turn to massage when our back or shoulder has an ache, we rarely consider it for our internal systems. Join Sami for a Mayan abdominal session, and enjoy the long term benefits of abdominal massage. These massages last an hour, and integrate emotional release, as well as returning organs to their proper placement for optimized function. Sami was trained by Mayan elders in the Guatemalan town of Jaibalito. Some known benefits of abdominal massage are:

improve organ function
realign organs to optimal position
improve function of five primary health systems
release stored emotion and stress
reduce inflammation
improve digestive function
heal indigestion and acid reflux
prevent prostate enlargement
reduce painful or irregular periods
improve fibroids and endometriosis
improve fertility and libido
correct or prevent prolapsed organs
improve urinary and bladder issues
realign displaced uterus

Somatic Fascial Release

Our fascial network is responsible for holding all of our movement patterns, memories, trauma, and

brain body connection. Living as a thick rubber-band-like mycelial network under our skin, it can get

stuck and rigid, wreaking havoc through chronic pain, digestive issues, stuck emotion, and even long

term injuries. In this workshop we will use fascial maneuvers to smooth out the fascia, releasing what

is no longer serving our bodies and minds, and creating fluidity, flexibility and malleability in this

network of the body.

Yoni Relational Reclamation

For anyone looking to repair their relationship with the sacred space of the yoni. The session will take an educational, trauma informed, and somatic approach to exploring and releasing old narratives, shame, and grief, around the space of the yoni, and reclaiming the relationship to the yoni. Guided somatic exercises will hold space to release stored emotion, and

bring new awareness to this space in the body.

Yoni is a sanskrit word that refers to the center of the shakti, or center of creation in physical anatomy. This space has historically been represented by all of the physical organs representing birth

and creation, as well as the energetic center of our creative consciousness and energy.
