“Bodywork can get us in touch with our present situation, give us a feel for
possible alternatives, help us grasp the forces that form us, put our fingers on
the elements that have been missing in our ways of doing things, give us a
renewed sense of our organic strength and intelligence. It can be a tremendous
catalyst in the assertion of self-responsibility for much of what we have become
and much of what we can become.”

~ Deane Juhan, Job’s Body


OFFERINGS

Connective Tissue Massage

This session can be either 75 or 90 minutes. The session starts with a thorough
intake and establishing your goals for the session. This can be as general as
“taking some time for me” or as specific as addressing scar tissue or an area of
restriction. From there, Anne Mariah will use Connective Tissue Massage to
reduce pain, increase movement, and release shortened, restricted, or adhered
fascia.

Connective Tissue Massage focuses on addressing fascia and lengthening muscles
from their origin site to their insertion point with long, intentional, and
specific strokes. Muscles and fascia respond remarkably well to this technique
and clients report feeling a release of tension and a sense of “things going
back to where they belong.” This is not a light, Swedish massage. While pressure
is deep, the pacing is slow. As a result, the session should be a relaxing and
enjoyable experience that puts you deeply in touch with your body.

As needed, Anne Mariah also uses Trigger Point Therapy to address specific
points of tension, particularly for headaches and neck pain. For clients who
wants to address scar tissue as part of a massage, Anne Mariah is trained in
McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release techniques. Each session will be different and
designed to respond to what the body is asking for in the moment and what you
hope to achieve with our time.

Abdominal Massage

Abdominal Massage* is a profoundly effective treatment for reproductive and
digestive disorders of all kinds. Our bellies and core are both our energetic
and physical centers, yet are often a source of both physical and emotional pain
or discomfort. By offering Abdominal Massage, Anne Mariah hopes to help her
clients reconnect with their bodies as a source of vitality and strength.

Each Abdominal Massage session covers the entire external abdomen with gentle
touch, stimulating circulation of blood, lymph and nerve impulses to all organs.
The sessions also include massage to your back, hips and sacrum and may include
treatment with a castor oil pack. For clients who want to address abdominal scar
tissue, Anne Mariah will also use McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release techniques.
During the initial session, Anne Mariah will teach you a modified version of the
abdominal massage to practice at home on a regular schedule.

This type of massage is routinely effective for people experiencing menstrual
pain, peri-menopause and menopause symptoms, post-partum issues, fertility
challenges, prolapse, and scar tissue and surgical recovery. For best results,
three sessions scheduled two to four weeks apart are recommended, followed by
as-needed maintenance.

*Abdominal Massage is a form of bodywork that originated in Belize many years
ago. Herbalist and naprapath Rosita Arvigo formulated the Abdominal Massage
techniques after her decades-long apprenticeship in Belize with Don Elijio Panti
- a Mayan healer - and Hortence Robinson, an herbal midwife. From there, these
techniques have been taught to practitioners worldwide through the Abdominal
Therapy Collective.
