Give nature half a chance and she has a miracle in store for everybody.
- Dr. Rosita Arvigo
The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® (ATMAT®) are a series of external bodywork techniques that gently guide and support the abdominal and reproductive organs into their proper position for improved functioning, optimal health, and well being.
Arvigo® Therapy works to release physical, emotional, and energetic congestion within the abdomen restoring the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph, and nerves to reduce pain symptoms and prevent the progression of chronic disease.
Arvigo® Therapy has been developed by Rosita Arvigo, a result of her training as a Naprapathic Doctor, Herbalist, and her mentorships with Mayan Shaman Don Elijio Panti and Belizean Midwife and Healer Hortence Robinson.
Arvigo® Therapy is a holistic, healing practice that will guide and support you and your innate healing abilities on your path to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR FIRST ARVIGO THERAPY SESSION
Your first appointment will include introduction of your
pelvic and abdominal anatomy as well as a detailed review of your health history and your goals in receiving Arvigo® Therapy treatments with me.
You’ll receive a relaxing and therapeutic bodywork and abdominal massage addressing your specific concerns, symptoms, and goals with focus on supporting optimal alignment of your hips, spine, and sacrum.
Instruction of your Arvigo® Self Care Massage will follow your session. Further home care such as herbal remedies, nutrition and lifestyle changes, castor oil packs, and steaming may be suggested to enhance your Arvigo® Therapy treatments.
WHAT TO EXPECT FOLLOWING YOUR ARVIGO THERAPY SESSION
Every individual is different and some people will notice a difference after their first treatment while some may find it takes a few sessions, (3 to 6 depending on the individual and symptoms being addressed) for the effects to be felt.
Self care suggestions such as abdominal massage, castor oil packs, steaming, exercise and nutrition are provided at the end of your treatment and will be your greatest tool in continuing your healing journey outside of your Arvigo® Therapy sessions with me.
Completing self care can renew your trust, confidence, and faith in your body as well as provide a greater improvement of your symptoms.
