Heal your belly. Restore your back. Transform your life.

 

Your belly has been trying to tell you something.

Your belly is the seat of your emotional life — and stress shows up there first.

It might be showing up as painful or irregular periods, difficulty getting pregnant, postpartum recovery challenges, or perimenopausal symptoms that nobody warned you about. It might be digestive issues like IBS, acid reflux, slow digestion, bloating, or that low back pain that never quite goes away, no matter what you try.

Here's something most women are never told: the culprit behind many of these issues isn't just stress, aging, or bad luck. It's often a displaced uterus, tight abdominal organs, or restricted muscles that can only be reached by working through the belly. And unless you address those underlying issues, relief is usually temporary.

Maya abdominal massage can change that. 

What Is Maya Abdominal Massage?

Maya abdominal massage is a non-invasive, external massage technique rooted in the healing traditions of the Maya people of Central America. It works by gently repositioning displaced or prolapsed organs, particularly the uterus and digestive organs, and releasing the tension held in the muscles and ligaments of the abdomen, pelvis, and low back.

When these structures are in their proper position and the surrounding tissue is relaxed and well-circulated, your body can do what it was designed to do. Hormones regulate more easily. Digestion improves. Pain decreases. And something subtler happens too; you start to feel more at home in your own belly, which for many women is a place they've been at war with for years.

Sessions are done with appropriate draping, and include both hands-on work and self-care techniques you can use at home between visits.

 

What I do-My Approach

When you come to see me, I'm not just working on a symptom. I'm working with you: your whole body, your history, what you've been carrying and where you've been holding it.

It matters to me that you leave every session knowing more about your body than when you arrived. Not just feeling better; understanding why. Because when you understand what's happening in your body, you become a better advocate for yourself. And that's the kind of healing that doesn't stop when you leave my table.

Every session includes self-care tools you can use at home, because the work we do together is most powerful when it continues between visits.

Return To Self Program

Something is missing, and you can feel it. Not in a dramatic way, necessarily. Just a quiet sense of being slightly out of sync with yourself. Disconnected from your body. Going through the motions of your life without really inhabiting it.

The Return to Self Program was built for exactly that.

This is my most integrative offering — a multi-month container that works on all of it at once. Each month includes body-centered shadow coaching sessions, Maya abdominal massage or integrative massage, transformational breathwork, and creative sessions (art, movement, intuitive writing). Between sessions, you'll have monthly 30-minute check-ins and personal inquiries to work with out in your actual life.

The Return To Self Program is for you if:

ou feel like something essential is missing, but you can't quite name it. You feel disconnected from your body or your life. You want to understand what your body's pain and discomfort are actually telling you. You want to feel more deeply, be more present, and express yourself more authentically.

This isn't a quick fix. It's a real container for real change — and it's one of the most meaningful things I offer.

Targeted Treatment Programs

Sometimes you know exactly what needs attention. Your cycle has been painful for years. Your digestion hasn't been right since you can remember. Your low back is a constant companion you'd really like to break up with.

My Targeted Treatment Programs focus on one central issue at a time, so we can go deep rather than wide. Each program includes multiple massage sessions, tinctures, castor oil packs, and essential oils, all focused on your specific area of concern.

The Uterus: Relief from painful or irregular periods, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, fertility preparation, and postpartum recovery.

Digestion: Relief from IBS, GERD, slow digestion, bloating, constipation, and other digestive challenges.

The Back: Relief from low back pain, hip pain, sciatica, and chronic achiness that hasn't responded to other approaches.

Body-centered Shadow Coaching & Maya Abdominal Massage

The body and the emotions are not separate, and sometimes the most powerful healing happens when you work both at once.

It's not uncommon for women to arrive for massage and discover, somewhere on the table, that what's been held in their belly has an emotional story attached to it. Sometimes they already know. Sometimes the body reveals it first. Either way, having the tools to work with both, the physical and the emotional, in the same session, means you can go deeper and move faster than either modality alone.

Sessions begin with a shadow coaching conversation, then move to the massage table for Maya abdominal or integrative massage work. Together, these modalities help you locate where you're holding stuck energy in your body, and actually move through it.

  • WOW! Five stars isn't enough! Natalie is warm, authentic, wise, and joy-filled; joy that is palpable during your healing sessions. She is living her purpose and it shows in her services provided. She embodies presence, listens carefully, and is attentive to every concern you share. Not only do I credit her for helping me to get pregnant at 41, but she continues to be a staple in my feminine self care and overall wellbeing. Postpartum with Natalie was game-changing!! I can't imagine not seeing her consistently. Every human with a uterus should RUN to this healer! You absolutely won't regret it!

  • Natalie is a stellar life coach. I highly recommend her. Amazing listener, she offers a subtle, profound and down-to-earth work (far away from the cheesy, caricatural and simplistic coaches I have crossed in many many years, believe me). Highly recommend if you are serious about self-discovery and living a more authentic life.

  • I was scheduled for a hernia surgery but after having had 2 previous abdominal surgeries the doctor wasn’t confident she could do the less invasive laparoscopic procedure due to the old scar tissue. I did a series of sessions with Natalie and the dr. was able to do the easier surgery and I’m recovering so much faster. Looking forward to returning for a post surgery session before I get back to work.
