The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage
Pregnancy Figures
For best results, a pregnant woman receives Maya Abdominal Massage (MAM) in the same rhythm as she sees her childbirth provider, (ND, CPM, CNM, DEM, OB/GYN, etc..) That is, monthly, then bi-monthly, then weekly as the baby grows. This ensures regular care of the ligaments and attention to the uterus. Women who receive regular care are more likely to give birth close to the time estimated, and have shorter labours. They are less likely to have babies in undesirable positions and suffer the common complaints of pregnancy, that is excessively frequent urination and Sacro-iliac joint pain. Of course, every body is different and there is no way to predict the challenges one will face.
I charge $125 per hour. The initial visit for a new patient seeking MAM for pregnancy lasts one hour. Follow-up appointments last 45 minutes (at $93.75). The post-partum visits are house-calls made within 6 weeks post-partum. House-calls are normally billed at $125 per hour plus a $25 house-call fee. By bundling these services, the post-partum care is $200 for 3 house-call visits lasting 1.5 hours. This visit can include post-partum MAM visits, regular massage, vaginal steam bath traditionally done on day 3 post-partum, breastfeeding support, post-partum Naturopathic care and medicinal soup, as appropriate to the mother and baby. If you deliver early and do not use all of the pre-natal MAM appointments, you will receive that number of treatments post-partum.
