WOMB Massage
(Abdominal Therapy)
Abdominal therapy is a hands-on massage that can be found across many cultures around the world; used to restore flow and the optimal position for reproductive and digestive organs.
Getting started
Get started by selecting womb massage (there is also the option of paying-it-forward and community rate so please be mindful wen selecting) and choosing your desired date.
All womb massage sessions take place in our Chandra Treatment Room at the studio on 99 Woodville Road, CF24 4DY
You will need to complete the form included on the check out page in full, at least 3 days before your appointment.
Your first appointment
We will use the first 15 - 30 minutes to discuss your health history as disclosed on your intake form.
The womb massage is performed with you lying on your back. Towels are provided to cover your upper and lower body, leaving just your abdomen exposed.
Some people find abdominal massage deeply relaxing and even fall asleep. Others might find it a strange experience at first since culturally we tend to avoid our bellies. I aim to always work in a trauma-informed way, at whatever pace is comfortable for you.
After you have received the massage I will demo the massage for you to practice YAM (Your Abdominal Massage) at home.
Subsequent appointments
If you are happy with the treatment and want to continue we will set up a minimum of three more appointments. This is advised for you to see the best results. After the three sessions, we will review and you are welcome to book on a rolling basis.
Please note this massage is not suitable for pregnancy and you should leave at least 3 months postpartum.

About WOMB massage
This lineage of the abdominal therapy was formed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, a herbalist and Doctor of Naprapathy. She was taught the method during her apprenticeship under Belize sharman Don Elijio and their colleague, fertility expert, and herbal midwife Miss Hortense Robinson.
I have been mentored in the practices of Abdominal Therapy since 2017 and qualified in 2021 to practice. I am the only Abdominal Therapist in Cardiff and one of three in Wales.
Miss Hortense Robinson.
Abdominal therapy can be used for reproductive and menstrual cycle ailments such as PCOS, endometriosis and painful periods as well as gut related issues like IBS.
It can be used alongside IVF and to support post-op healing of scar tissues.
This massage supports the optimal position of the reproductive and digestive organs, ensuring better flow and function of the N.A.V.E.L (the Nerves Arteries Veins Energy Lymph).
