Especially for woman with fertility challenges or having IVF treatment.  A combination of healing treatments designed to relax the body and help clients in that waiting period after egg transfer to relieve feelings of worry, anxiety and disbelief at a delicate time. 

Maya Abdominal Massage (MAM) is a technique based on the ancient Mayan understanding of the importance of the positioning of the reproductive and digestive organs for pelvic and abdominal health. It is a non-invasive external massage technique for men and women, which improves organ function by relieving congestion, enhancing blood supply, increasing lymphatic drainage and aiding nerve supply to the pelvic and reproductive organs. MAM is best known for the correction of the prolapsed, fallen, or tilted uterus and for the relief of many common digestive disorders. At the core of this technique for women is the emphasis on the positioning of the uterus, which can lead to a wide range of gynecological disorders. MAM also aids relaxation and can help to achieve a more emotional and spiritual connection to the reproductive area, by helping women to connect with their femininity and increase fertility. The technique has also been found helpful for chronic stomach problems such as indigestion and constipation.
