Abdominal Therapy For Pregnancy to Postpartum

Abdominal Therapy For Pregnancy to Postpartum.jpg

An advanced workshop founded on the work of Dr Rosita Arvigo for those who have previously completed professional training in her work.

Dr Rosita Arvigo worked closely with her local community in Belize. Helping families across generations, she loved nothing better than massaging babies in the belly, watching them grow after birth and then later supporting them as they created families of their own.

As Abdominal Therapy practitioners we find a sweet joy in doing the same. We love to meet people at the start of their journey, often before conception and then work with them through and beyond both pregnancy and birth. I truly believe babies recognise our voice and touch after months of being massaged in the womb.

In this four day class I know you will be as enchanted as we are with the work we share with our pregnant and recently birthed clients.

  • Take a deep dive into how our work supports those on a fertility journey both naturally and assisted.

  • Investigate some of the common causes of discomfort during pregnancy and how to alleviate them.

  • Learn how to apply our techniques in a side-lying position suitable for all stages of pregnancy.

  • Support your clients as they prepare for birth, learning how to sign post them towards useful tools and resources.

  • Discover the importance of post-partum care and why it can make a difference as to how menopause may be experienced later in life.

Delve into the wonders of your body and learn to support your health with a simple abdominal massage.

About this event

www.abdominaltherapycollective.com

Learn how your uterus works and what you can do to keep this sacred area of your body balanced. We will work with your diaphragm and you will understand why all popular wisdom encourages you 'to take a deep breath’. You will leave wondering why you were never taught this at school.

This workshop is for anyone who would like to live in their body with ease, for those who wish to look after themselves and a taster for those who have a professional interest. If you have a womb, had a womb or have been in a womb you will come away with ultimate respect for this fabulous part of the body.

What will we cover?

• The story of Dr Rosita Arvigo and her work

• The traditional Healers who taught this work

• Simple anatomy and physiology of the belly and uterus

• ‘Your Abdominal Massage’ A simple self-care treatment.

• Causes, signs and symptoms of sub-optimal uterine health and common conditions

What’s included and what do I need to bring?

After the class I will send you PDF's with all you need to know and some useful resources.

Bring a note pad and pen if you like to take notes but if you prefer to curl up and listen that’s a great way to enjoy the class.

Sadly, I cannot make you tea or share my biscuits so bring whatever snacks and drinks you like.

Dress code

Be comfortable – this is 2021 and we all understand the rules. Make an effort from the waist up - pyjamas, leggings and tracky bottoms from the waist down. Bra’s are optional extra’s, a bit of lippy or dangly earrings lift the spirits.

As the author of this workshop, I will make an effort to dress up but you don’t need to :-)

What happens next?

Once you sign up you will receive a welcome email and a form asking you to share your health story. You will fill in as much or as little as makes you comfortable. Knowing some of your story allows me to serve you and tailor the class towards your needs.

Anyone attending this workshop will get a £20 discount on a 1-1 online or in-person appt with me if made within 30 days.

Menopause - Your Brilliant Bloodless Revolution

Your journey towards, through and beyond menopause. A time to celebrate and find your brilliant mid-life treasure.

About this event

Who is this workshop for? Everyone!

From our late thirties to early forties we enter a time when peri-menopause could be the reason for almost anything - from leaving a marriage, change of career, to hot flushes, erratic bleeding or a desperate desire for a baby.

Peri-menopause is when our hormones start to change and can begin as early as 10 years prior to the main act of menopause its self. For some it starts in their 30's and so learning about what comes next might just be the start of something wonderful.

The average age of menopause is 51, if you are trying to make sense of you life and things just aren't adding up then we may be able to unearth some clues and throw out a lifeline.

If you have no idea what to expect, are wondering if you are there yet, like to prep for all eventualities or fancy getting the low down from someone who has walked the path before you, then this workshop is a winner. Come on in and join the conversation.

Why should I attend?

Knowledge is power and as Gen X come of age, we are rewriting the menopause story and demanding better support across the board. That includes – the medical profession, our employers, our friends, and our family. In order to do this, we need to understand the physical, emotional and spiritual journey this transition will take us on.

No matter where you are - meno curious or in the thick of it, you will learn useful tips on how to survive and better still thrive, however and whenever it arrives.

It is wrong to expect a teenager to begin menstrual cycles with no education and the same goes for the other end of the spectrum. Women today deserve to know that the menopausal journey although sometimes rocky and complex will ultimately lead to a bright, breezy, bloodless future where balance and beauty are yours to enjoy.

If you listen to popular wisdom you may believe peri-menopause is the start of a downhill slide but I am here to tell you another story.

I will tell you the story of how through intense heat and pressure your womb will become your own shining diamond and why that matters.

Together, we can lead a revolution and make menopause cool.

Who am I?

My name is Hilary and I am the proud Author of 'Menopause - Your Brilliant , Bloodless Revolution' which is due for publication by the end of the year.

In my late fifties I am a therapist, life coach, body worker and teacher who has supported countless women through the transitions we all meet from puberty to post menopause.

I love to laugh, have a great sense of irreverence and am one of a growing number of women who want change the world and its attitude to menopause.

Mining for Diamonds: Creating the Menopause Manifesto

Did you know that you can be peri-menopausal and fertile?

Did you know your womb shrinks after menopause to an almost prepubescent size?

Did you know that peri menopause can start in your early 40's and menopause is when you have not bled for a whole year?


Learn how this transitional period in your life might affect you physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Diamonds are created by immense pressure and time and are buried deep in the earth. As our wombs compress and ready them selves to cease bleeding I liken this to the creation of our own internal shining Diamond.

Spend a day exploring your feelings around this subject whilst looking at how History and Society may have shaped our views. By digging deep into our own world we can unearth the treasure our wombs have created and appreciate all that has shaped us and all that is to come when we live in our own shining light.

Understand what is actually happening to your body and various ways to support the process.

Spend the day with women of a similar age and together we can rewrite the story of how a woman of a 'certain age' might look or behave.

This workshop is a retreat designed to excite AND sooth you. This is what one woman felt about the day...

'Apart from the huge wealth of knowledge from Hilary, spending time with so many women who are all dealing with the same life event, but each with their own story was empowering and gave me a wonderful sense of community.

This event could only be improved by there being more of them.

If you want to broaden and deepen your knowledge of what is going on inside your body and mind with the most amazing teacher, surrounded by women who are going through the same thing, each coming from their own special viewpoint, then book this workshop! Hilary held and guided the group in a way that enabled some heartfelt sharing of experience and feelings and I came away feeling empowered and with a wonderful, nurturing sense of community that I have rarely experienced.
