practice comments
Maya Abdominal Massage is especially useful and therapeutic for digestive health as well as reproductive health/fertility. Cynthia supports the Maya Abdominal Massage work she does with CranioSacral Therapy for even greater health improvements. She also offers CranioSacral Therapy for clients with a wide variety of other health challenges, and especially for chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and stress-related/induced health challenges. CranioSacral Therapy works through the Central Nervous System. Removing restrictions and restoring balance at that level can help all other systems of the body be corrected. CranioSacral Therapy uses a very light touch and no oils. It is done with the client's clothes on, lying face up on the massage table. Clients often say how very, very, very relaxed they feel after a session. Sometimes it can be helpful to start with CranioSacral Therapy before beginning Maya Abdominal Massage when the client may be in too much pain to start directly with the Maya work.
