Meet the Instructor
I’ve massaged thousands of bellies over the last 26 years, and I can honestly say each one is uniquely beautiful and has a story to tell.
I have a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching people how to care for their reproductive and digestive organs, abdomens, and pelvic floors. What lights me up is seeing people connect with the inner beauty and wisdom of their bodies through these abdominal massage trainings.

Who is this course for?
This course is intended for massage therapists and bodyworkers who would like to add abdominal massage techniques to their existing repertoire. It’s up to you to work within your scope of practice.
Will I learn how to do the Arvigo® techniques, Visceral Manipulation™ or Chi Nei Tsang in this course?
The techniques in this course do not include Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy, Visceral Manipulation™ or any of the other abdominal specialties I’ve trained in. The techniques in this course are inspired by over 26 years of experience in the field of manual therapy. I have been inspired by many teachers over that time but my inspiration are my clients and their tissues.
Is the material in this course the same as the material in the Free The Belly Course or Womb Care Course??
No, all of the material in this course is unique.
