The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™ (ATMAT) and Spiritual Healing are inspired by traditional Maya healing techniques.
The techniques were developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo based on her apprenticeship with the Maya healer Don Elijio Panti and her own education, training, and research as a naprathic physician and herbalist.
Maya Abdominal Massage (a techniques included in ATMAT) is a very gentle external massage of the belly. The technique is also taught to the client so that he or she may continue with self massage after the initial treatment. Prayers may also be said by the practitioner to benefit the client.
The purpose of the massage is to restore the body to its natural balance by correcting the position of organs that have shifted and restrict the flow of blood, lymph, nerve & chi energy. Work is also done on the back and sacrum to help improve posture and to facilitate circulation and better positioning of internal organs.
ATMAT Spiritual Healing uses clearing techniques by means of prayer and sacred plants.
Dina Dunaway is a Certified practitioner of ATMAT, completing training in both Maya Spiritual Healing and Maya Abdominal Massage.
