Spirit Mending

Folk Medicine Space Clearing

Similar to a healing bath for the body, a space clearing helps to revitalize the home with the use of copal, plants, water and prayer (detached from dogma). It inspires fresh beginnings, neutralizes negative energy, liberates any stagnation within the house and the perimeter around. This practice of space clearing is from the Maya lineage, learned over courses in Belize with Dr. Rosita. Space clearings ultimately invite positive potential within the home, family and oneself. Often times, a person will receive a space clearing and a spiritual bath in one session so that the space and folks within benefit simultaneously.

Healing Bath (Spiritual, not a water bath)

The Maya see what Western culture views as emotional disorders as spiritual ailments. They use plant allies, prayer (to whatever higher power one believes or faith in the body and its' wisdom), and water to heal the root of disharmony. e.g. PTS.

Most cultures have some form of a healing bath to support and nourish the spiritual aspect of ourselves. This work is the thread mending body, mind, emotions and spirit into one cloth. The process is similar to that of hypnosis in that through these baths we bypass the conscious mind (that may or may not be in a cycle of drama or trauma) and work directly with the subconscious to release the stories held on the cell level in the body. Stories that inhibit us from fully embodying our lives are let go, & we my move freely, unblocked.

Dr. Rosita meditation

The Blue Door & Uterine Meditations, each about 40- 50 mins in duration, are guided meditations by Dr. Rosita. A comfortable space is created for client to be while listening to one of the two meditations. Whether it be the uterine meditation or the blue door meditation the client will be led to unwind & see what bubbles up & how the parasympathetic system calms in the unwinding. I’ll be there to hold space with some craniosacral, subtle body work, or in another room if client prefers to be a solo listener.

Ritual Foot Bath

Water, medicinal plants, prayer FemiMist salt scrub. Soak feet in magnesium brine & flowers & receive reflexology, with focus on marma points.

Plant Medicine & Healing Arts

Pelvic Steam

Steams consist of Rusty Moon Botanicals 8 herbal blend (+ dulse when individual is experiencing PCOS, endometriosis, cysts) & water.

Pelvic Steams create a grounding cord, release trauma, encourage micro circulation, guide hormonal harmony, boost moisture, support optimal cervical fluid; esp great for fertility & peri menopause/ menopause, allow old blood to be softened & more easily released in next cycle; esp benefits painful menstrual cycles & more. Receive a steam &/or learn how to set up & prepare your steam for future self care at home.

Pelvic Oiling - Guidance

Pelvic Oiling is a tradtion from Ayurveda. Benefits every body but especially folks who are doshas of vata (air/ether) & pita (water/fire). This is internal oiling of the pelvis with warm oil. Some healing effects are increased circulation, increased awareness of pelvis~ reengage & reclaim, restores & renourishes, hormonal harmony, feel more centered, softened, relaxed. We’ll discuss what oils, how to prepare & perform for oneself as a self care tool for home.

Working with Plant Medicine

Might look like any of these things:: What plants might be of interest/ benefit you. Assisting in creating a garden, alley foraging to transplant in garden, your local neighborhood plant walk~ see what we find. How one might apply plants in their everyday routine. Creating a rhythm both within daily life & seasons. Where to optimally keep plant medicine remedies for shelf life & for the “daily grab,” daily use.

Making Plant Medicine

Boiled down how- to tutorials on creating tinctures, when to create & pour off (decant) & keep, medicinal oils, elixirs, syrups. vinegars, oxymels herbal salts.

Post-Natal & Infant

Moxibustion Box

Wooden box filled with Chinese Mugwort gently smokes in a wooden box & is placed on a towel directly over the uterus & sacrum during postpartum phase. Has a cumulative effect.

Some benefits:: nourishes spleen energy which often gets easily depleted in postnatal phase due to lack of sleep, chest/brestfeeding, helps to "close the gate," TCM (the pelvis), the intense heat of moxa, impulses the nerve endings of the skin and causes dilation of capillaries; increasing blood & lymph circulation to entire body, moxa aids in blood & immune building.

According to TCM Moxa builds qi/chi and blood. Recent medical research shows that white blood cell counts immediately increase after moxa treatment. Red blood cells (hemoglobin~ 70% of body's iron found in RBC) gradually increase & reach peak levels following 8 weeks of treatment

Rebozo / Closing of the Bones

A physical treatment that works along the lines of the body from head to toe. Specifically “closing the bones” of the hip/pelvis, providing the preparation for next phase of either another child down the line, or menstrual cycle & eventual menopause. And engages in energy conservation once complete because grounds spirit in body.

Infant Craniosacral & Infant Intra-Oral

Craniosacral is similar for infants as it is for adults in that its’ light touch & effective. CST practitioners notice restrictions & adhesions from outside- inward by gentle hands- on contact (sometimes performed off the physical body). By assessing craniosacral flow & the layers of the body~ tissues & membranes we create space & flow.
Intra- Oral craniosacral is gentle work with gloved finger inside the mouth. Here, we CST practitioners positively impact ailments such as tongue tie (& myriad of others) by accessing, releasing & harmonizing muskuloskeletal & structural issues of jaw, hyoid, muscles & tongue, tmj & subocciptal muscles.

CST benefits babies experiencing::
• troubled sleep, nourishing the nervous system
• babies who spend many weeks in the same position in utero at the end of pregnancy
• breech babies
• babies who experience fast birth
• babies who experience long birth, fast birth, a long second stage, a fast second stage
• babies who were slow to start breathing at birth
• cesarean born babies, vacuum birth, forceps born babies
• resuscitated infants, intubated infants
• babies who sustained birth injuries
• laryngoscoped babies
• babies with torticollis, plagiocephaly, unresolved sutural overrides
• breast/ chest feeding difficulties; latching, tongue thrusters, tongue tie (pre & post laser)
• “sensitive babies”
• babies with digestive ailments; who spit up, projectile vomit, have reflux, struggle passing gas or stool
• wellness visits & more

Kitchari Kit

Indigenous Science of East India, kitchari is made of mung beans (gently cleansing) & basmati rice (easily digestable) with specific spices. I create & will show you a digestive kitchari recipe benefiting both reproductive & digestive organs by warming, toning & rebuilding stamina through mineral rich nutrients & antioxidants, supports agni (digestive fire). Ghee is traditionally used but may substitute if vegan.

Subtle Body Manual Therapy

Simple Birth Parent Massage - Hands & Feet

According to our focus, we’ll choose from 1-2 Rusty Moon Botanical medicated oils & begin with a FemiMist Ritual Salt Scrub exfoliation first. Hand & Foot massage emcompasses both reflexology & some Ayurvedic marma points, where life force energy is said to be concentrated.

With Table Provided (see notes below)
Maya Abdominal Therapy ~ fertility, prenatal & postpartum & nurturing therapeutic

Tuesday Offerings are folk medicine arts brought to your home (sans massage table). Happy to provide Maya Abdominal Therapy from the linage of Dr. Rosita Arvigo & additional subtle body/ manual therapies when table is provided by client. Meaning, client provides the table, & table set up & break down is the responsibility of the client. I’ll provide sheets & oil.

At the free 15 minute phone/ video consultation, we’ll discuss table placement within the home~ which room. This is to ensure spaciousness for both the table itself & practitioner (me) to move around the table for bodywork.

Intra-Oral Craniosacral

Intra- Oral craniosacral is gentle work with gloved finger inside the mouth. Here, the interior of the mouth contains muscles & joints that can affect the tension or ease of the entire body from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet. CST practitioners positively impact ailments such as tmj, back aches, headaches, migraines & even pelvic pain because some disharmony may originate from within the oral cavity. CST work nourishes the spinal dural mater (the membraine that protects the spinal cord).

Craniosacral

CST works directly with central nervous system & about 1/2 cup of craniosacral fluid that runs down the spine & around the brain. This fluid has it’s own rhythm & waves that relate to how we integrate our stories during the day. We CST practitioners notice & follow the lines of restrictions & CST fluid from the outside- in by gentle hands- on contact. Accessing & releasing fascia, in turn creating more space & mobility in physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual bodies. CST supports to heal::
• TMJ pain
• headaches of all kinds
• head traumas
• low back and neck pain whiplash injuries
• chronic fatigue, chronic pain
• PTS
• pre and post surgery
• neurological support
