Arvigo Abodominal Massage

Many traditions of massage across the world use abdominal massage to regulate all the systems of the body. When your organs are living unrestricted in their happiest place in the body, they can access their own self healing mechanisms. Organs unrestricted mean improved venous and arterial circulation, optional hormone function, healthy nervous function, improved digestion, better lymph flow, unrestricted fascia/ligaments/tendons/soft tissue, and unrestricted flow of chi. This is the work of Dr. Rosita Arvigo.

I have been practicing Abdominal Therapy on myself for almost 15 years. It has improved my digestion, stoped hormone migraines, made my menstrual cycle both predictable and without pain, and helped optimize my fertility and helped keep me pain free in pregnancy. Real talk: I went to massage school so I could practice this massage on others. That is how much it has impacted my life.

And the best part: I teach you how to do this yourself at home. Healing available at your own fingertips.

  • This work brings focus to your belly… a place which may hold unprocessed emotions, tension, and pain. Through gentle massage, your therapist will help release these stressors. With supportive information, you will learn how to encourage healing.

  • There are many reasons you might be looking for help, from soothing digestive troubles, painful periods, fertility support, or relief from prostate or pelvic issues. Abdominal Therapy encourages balance and optimal function in the belly. We offer whole-person support to clients from a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles.

  • It begins with an exploration of your health history, current circumstances and goals in a virtual meeting, or in-person as part of your first session.

    The in-person Abdominal Therapy treatment involves an external massage of your entire abdomen. The diaphragm, digestive and reproductive organs are all addressed. A full treatment also includes your back, hips, and sacrum too.

    Massaging these areas systematically and thoroughly, we help optimize circulation… and we’re not just talking about blood. Abdominal Therapy affects all the systems of flow in your body: blood, lymph, nerve conduction, and life force or chi.

    Finally, your therapist will teach you how to perform Your Abdominal Massage (YAM) to increase treatment benefits for the long term.

  • Early in her professional practice, Dr. Rosita Arvigo recognized the need for clients to continue their healing with their own hands, in their own time, in their own homes.

    With this in mind, she developed her unique self-care massage to encourage and empower her clients to take charge of their healing.

    Although Your Abdominal Massage is a simple practice and takes only 10 minutes a day, it has profound, lasting effects on your health and wellbeing. It’s not unusual for clients to report – even years later – that YAM has become an integral part of their daily lives.

  • Your therapist will work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan and provide ongoing support. We are here for you!
