Maya Massage Session
Massage sessions from the Mexican tradition to nourish the body for fertility, pregnancy and postpartum
I learned Maya massage in Yucatán, Mexico, in 2022, from two traditional midwives. They shared a practice shaped by generations of experience and used in different ways to support people through fertility journeys, pregnancy, and the early postpartum period. I carry what I learned with respect for its cultural roots and for the midwives who taught me.
It is a supportive bodywork experience that may complement the care you already receive. A session can offer time for relaxation and connection with the body. During pregnancy, bodywork needs thoughtful adaptation. I saw it used in Mexico to gently encourage baby into good positioning. And then again, as soon as 15 days after birth, massage can be used together with scarves to bring the body's direction back towards the centre.
My intention is to offer the warm care and grounded experience that I have witnessed and learned. If this kind of supportive touch sounds right for you, we can begin with a conversation about what you are looking for and whether a session feels like a good fit.
