I had my first experience with Maya Abdominal Massage the other day and loved it. I was given a treatment by Clare Blanchflower who is now working at Comox Valley Acupuncture. The  treatment was approximately two hours long, beginning with a thorough consultation; medical history, menstrual history, trauma, pregnancies, surgeries, and emotional health were all discussed.  it was then followed by palpitation of the abdomen to determine if there are any adhesions and if the utereus is in proper alignment. Once that  is determined a treatment plan is made and the massage begins. I found the massage very relaxing and soothing, a massage of the abdomen-upper and lower, as well as neck and lower back all felt great.

 I was then given some self care massage to do at home to keep circulation and blood flow moving until my next visit. The amount of treatments needed are determined on a person by person basis depending on the situation. I amlooking forward to my next visit!
