This modality of bodywork stems from the Maya region of Belize. Sometimes referred to as Mayan Abdominal massage. The lineage comes through Rosita Arvigo who was an apprentice to Don Elijio Panti (1893-1993), one of the last bush Shamans of Belize to utilize this massage in conjunction with hundreds of natural healing plants and techniques, all which he learned orally. His knowledge of medicinal plants, their names, uses, myths and preparations were unparalleled. There are a few formulas that have survived and greatly compliment this work. “Female Tonic”, “Strong Back” and “Belly Be Good” are available in tincture form which are Rosita Arvigo’s formulas and the herbs are all mixed in Valley of Peace, Belize at the Rainforest Remedies Preserve.
Castor Oil Compress (optional) applied for following conditions: Liver and intestinal disorders, Abdominal cramps, Tumors, Cysts, Fibroids, Arthritis, Scars
Finishes with Reflexology to complete the session: Application of pressure to specific points on the hands and feet that correspond to different areas on the entire body. Very relaxing and helpful as a tool for increasing the flow of energies.
Acupressure (Can be fully clothed): The application of manual pressure using Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and practice along the meridian lines of the body. Each meridian line corresponds to an internal organ, and one of the 5 elements. Holding these points, and/ or running energy along these pathways, helps to balance energy (chi) flow.
Lymphatic Drainage: increases lymph flow through the vessels. It helps stimulate immune function by enhancing circulation and flushing stagnant lymph while clearing tissue of debris. Light pressure with long rhythmic strokes.
Limpias Spiritual ‘Cleaning’: This is to clear and cleanse the body, mind and spirit. Usually done with an egg, sacred plants, and/or smoke to sweep and clear unwanted attachments or energies.
Drum Therapy and Journey: The drum beat helps the body remember the heart beat.
The simple beat of the drum brings the body to a relaxed core state and the vibration takes the body with the mind along the journey.
Bach Flowers Body Maps ADD-ON: External application. Similar to reflex zones of the feet, every Bach Flower Remedy is related to an area on the surface of the body. Negative moods lead to a change in the energetic structure of these places, which can be accompanied by pain or disturbing sensations in the physical body. Through this system it is possible to obtain a flower diagnosis solely by consulting the body maps. These flower remedies are supportive of the underlying emotional causes of physical ailments.
Testimonials
"Nicole has such wonderful strength and knowledge of physiology! Her massages are soothing, restorative, relaxing and thorough. When she's finished working on me, I always feel restored, energetic and rebalanced. She's worth every penny, and I always feel cared for, treated and just a bit spoiled! (That's okay! We all deserve a little of that!) Nicole possesses a unique approach with different types of therapeutic treatments and I always look forward to her taking the time to treat me individually for what my body needs. Nicole reads whether your muscles need deep tissue work, some acupressure, or a gentle approach. She alternates her technique during the massage according to what's best. And oh yes, her room and music choices are beautiful, welcoming, and very relaxing!"

“I have known Nicole for several years and have been very pleased with her work as a massage therapist. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has helped me so much during times when I’ve had physical challenges, and also times where I needed emotional support. I find her to be very caring and intuitive. She is trained in various types of massage, knows the workings of the body and the energy flows. And I appreciate that she patiently answers my questions. I am thrilled that I can get healing massages from Nicole to maintain a pain-free and healthy body as I grow older.”
