Discover Mayan Wisdom:
In this accessible workshop, Mimi will introduce you to the fundamentals of the Mayan Abdominal Womb Massage, sharing the rich cultural heritage and philosophy behind this time-honored practice. Engage with the history and learn the basic techniques to foster your own physical and spiritual well-being, as understood in the Mayan tradition.
What is Mayan Abdominal Womb Massage? Great Question.
Mayan Abdominal Womb Massage, often referred to as the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT), is grounded in traditional healing practices believed to offer various benefits, especially for women’s reproductive health. While it’s important to note that these benefits are often reported by practitioners and recipients of the therapy, they may not be universally recognized in conventional Western medicine. However, they are highly valued in holistic and alternative health circles.
Benefits include:
- Improved Reproductive Health: The massage is said to help realign the uterus and ovaries, which can contribute to reduced menstrual cramps, increased fertility, and the correction of a tipped uterus.
- Enhanced Digestion: By increasing circulation to the abdominal organs, the massage may help address various digestive disorders such as IBS, indigestion, constipation, and bloating.
- Emotional Release: The technique can be used as a tool for emotional healing, as the abdomen is often considered a storage place for tension and negative emotions.
- Detoxification: The massage is believed to improve lymphatic drainage, which can aid in detoxifying the body.
- Respiratory Benefits: It may enhance lung capacity and relieve respiratory conditions by releasing diaphragmatic tension.
- Circulatory Boost: The therapy may improve blood flow through the abdominal area, enhancing the circulation to reproductive and digestive organs.
- Pain Relief: Many find relief from chronic lower back and pelvic pain through the massage.
- Hormonal Balance: By improving the function of reproductive organs and digestion, the massage may indirectly support hormonal balance.
- Postpartum Recovery: It is often used to support the body’s natural healing process after childbirth.
- General Well-being: Overall, those who undergo the massage often report a sense of improved energy and well-being.
It is always recommended to seek out a certified practitioner and to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if there are specific health conditions or concerns, as the practice should complement but not replace conventional medical treatments.
Learn and Connect:
This day is about empowerment and connection. You will have the opportunity to practice these gentle massage techniques on yourself and in pairs, fostering a supportive environment of sisterhood and shared knowledge. Mimi’s personal insights will guide you through the day, ensuring that you leave feeling confident and nurtured.
Open to All Womb Bearers:
No prior experience in bodywork or healthcare is required. This workshop is perfect for any woman looking to deepen her connection with her body, learn new self-care practices, and share a meaningful experience with others in her community. Pregnant women welcome! Oh my goodness please come if you’re pregnant, this would be so good for you.
This training is not open to men
The nature of this work is incredibly tender and vulnerable, so we create a container specifically for women to feel most safe.
Childcare Available
We understand many women interested in this training are momma’s, so we can provide childcare during the training. There will be an opportunity during the checkout process to indicate if you’ll need childcare. We ask that you bring everything your child will need for the day, including food, toys, an extra pair of clothes, etc. This event is held at our family’s home and we have many many years of experience caring for children 🙂 The training will occur on the main level, and the downstairs level and backyard will be a dedicated space for the kiddos, so you’ll be able to check on them.

Beyond the Workshop:
This event is part of a series happening throughout May 2024, where Mimi will share her knowledge on Cacao, Fire, Tobacco, and Astrology (Mayan astrology is so fascinating, you’ve got to check it out).

Our Mission with JourneyOn
Part of our mission and vision with JourneyOn is to create bridges between indigenous wisdom and modern society. On my travels to Guatemala, I met Mimi in one of her cacao ceremonies at Lake Atitlan. We stayed in touch and nurtured a shared dream of her traveling to the U.S to offer her traditional Mayan ceremonies. To make this dream a reality, JourneyOn decided to sponsor Mimi for the entire month of May 2024, to live at the family property and offer whatever style of workshops she wanted to, like an artist-in-residency. This workshop is an invitation to experience the transformative and unifying power of cacao, as cherished in the heart of Mayan wisdom.
In creating this bridge between indigenous wisdom and modern society, we aim to benefit everyone involved. This includes dedicating over two thirds of all event sales to go directly to Mimi, making this a powerful economic opportunity for her.
