This Abdominal Massage is done slowly and patiently as we invite relaxation into the belly. I will use warming herbal compresses to bring in heat, open the pores, membranes, and communicate a sense of ease to the mind-body with temperature and herbs.  I use a combination of oils to help melt into the tissue and further assist in the integration of ease, a surrendering, a letting go.  In Thai Medical Theory, the abdomen is the central mind of our being.  The “sen” translated as the pathways of movement, all originate just behind the naval.  This space is the epicenter for life moving through and animating your being.  When we bring relaxation and balance into the core, we are bringing the body back into cohesion.

This session can also bring relief and rejuvenation to the digestive system, menstrual discomfort, the low back, hips, spine and more.  It can provide a nervous system reset as the work can put you into a ventral vagal parasympathetic state of deep relaxation and safety with the ripple effects of surrendering softly in your center.  Often times, folks receiving this work reflect on different colors, visions, dreams and memories that percolate into the mind.  One client reflected after receiving abdominal work, that their belly felt like the cosmos of their own existence, orbiting and aligning their personal cosmology. 

The brain and the gut have an intimate connection, continuosly informing each other. Over 100 million nerve cells line the gut! Understandably so, it is known to be the second brain to the body. Abdominal massage can be as soothing for the mind as it is the belly.

May you experience a boundless belly, may you experience a boundless being.
