Abdominal Massage for Digestive Health

Abdominal Therapy is a noninvasive, external massage technique.  This specialized therapy focuses on mobility and proper positioning (alignment) of abdominal and reproductive organs.  

​

When abdominal and reproductive organs are in proper alignment, hormones, blood, and lymph fluid are unrestricted and able to circulate properly. When these organs are out of alignment, the flow of these essential substances is inhibited, leading to health and digestive dysfunction. Mis-alignment in even one of these organs will have a detrimental impact on the surrounding organs and systems of the abdomen.

​

Women with digestive health conditions, may also be experiencing women's health issues.  All will be addressed during sessions.
