What does it mean to hold trauma in the wombspace?  And what are some signs that indicate that womb trauma may be present?The topic of "womb healing" is a bit of a buzz these days and sometimes I wonder what people mean by that. I see social media profiles of "womb healing practitioners" and "womb healing" programs and honestly it's a vague concept.It could be everything from someone who has absolutely no training in any therapeutic modalities but likes to position themselves as a self-proclaimed expert on instagram to someone like today's guest, Dr Sarah Wylie, who is a Naturopathic doctor who's trained extensively with Rosita Arvigo and other practitioners to cultivate her multiple decades of clinical practice working with abdominal, pelvic and womb care.The truth is, when we hold story, energy, trauma, information in our wombspace, there are many paths to healing that exist. And it's really about exploring what works for you -- especially because so much of what's stored there is not just physical, but also emotional and even ancestral lineage stuff.So a combination of modalities is often helpful. But what I love about the way Dr Sarah Wylie uniquely approaches this work is that she weaves together her naturopathic clinical training, lab work as needed, bodywork, and visualization techniques to both assess and support the release and tending of information held in the wombspace. She speaks in detail about simple signs to tell if you might be holding something there (yep, pain is a big one, but also bleeding patterns, cycle irregularities, etc) and then she shares a lot about her personal bodywork practice.It's a beautiful collaborative approach to womb tending, release, and care and I'm excited for you to hear about it.Listen to learn:how a cervical dysplasia diagnoses changed Dr Sarah Wylie's lifewhy it's important to look beyond just physical trauma in relation to pelvic caresigns of womb trauma or imbalances in the wombspacea glimpse at her bodywork practice and how collaborative the work can bea guided visualization to help you sense a personal womb story or wisdom some inspiring thoughts on the womb through perimenopauseResources:Today's shownotes: Get links to Sarah's womb care courses + offeringsEpisode 10: Traditional womb healing practices w Sondra HamiltonEpisode 34: What if your womb was an altar? Episode 61: Pelvic wisdom with Dr Emily WilsonFree guided visualization: Womb embodiment and clearing practiceSupport Herbal Womb Wisdom!!

In this episode we venture into the captivating realm of traditional Mayan healing, Maya abdominal massage and spiritual "lustration" baths with our esteemed guest, Rosita Arvigo. For thirteen years Rosita apprenticed with the late Maya H'Men (Shaman) Don Elijio Panti of Belize. With her extensive background as a Doctor of Naprapathy, ethnobotanist, healer, and author, we unravel the wonders of Maya medicine which can address not only physical but also spiritual ailments. Our journey takes us from Mexico to Belize, as Rosita recounts her experiences and discoveries alongside Don Elijio, a master of traditional medicine. Unveiling deep-rooted wisdom and practices such as the role of harmonic resonance and the critical importance of collecting medicinal plants with honor, we delve into an ancient world that holds great relevance in our modern times. Rosita shares how she developed Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy, which can be supportive to many reproductive and digestive ailments - including uterine prolapse, infertility, menstrual conditions and IBS amongst others. In closing, Rosita imparts sage advice on how she maintains her own health and wellness, from the significance of diet, the power of forgiveness and the importance of maintaining emotional equilibrium.Rosita is the author of several books including "Rainforest Remedies: One Hundred Healing Herbs of Belize" and "Sastun: My Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer". She is also the founder of The Arvigo Institute and the well known Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy. Living in Belize for the past thirty-five years, she works to preserve the traditional plant-based remedies, healing techniques, and spiritual practices of the Maya. She has been instrumental in cataloguing and preserving thousands of healing plants and trees of Belize through her work with Dr. Michael Balick of The New York Botanical Garden and the Belize Ethnobotany Project which ran from 1987-1996. www.rositaarvigo.comwww.abdominaltherapycollective.comLiked what you heard?

Pregnancy Prep: Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor with Dr. Angie Mueller The most marvelous thing about the human body is its ability to heal itself. As a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health and prenatal/postpartum training, Dr. Angie Mueller focuses her therapy on providing energy to remove obstacles to allow natural healing to occur. After earning a bachelor's degree in health & science with a concentration in sports medicine from Colorado State University, Dr. Mueller went on to write her doctoral thesis on the effects of pregnancy and delivery on the pelvic floor muscles. After working with athletes, she created a women's health program for women needing surgical intervention for pelvic issues such as prolapse, incontinence, pelvic pain, and endometriosis. This work introduced Dr. Mueller to Maya medicine, the work of Rosita Arvigo, and mentor, Cindy Aprosmonte, who taught Dr. Mueller about indigenous medicine. These new methodologies lead Dr. Mueller to incorporate abdominal massage and passive organ positioning into her physical therapy protocols. Dr. Mueller has incorporated all of this incredible learning and training into her a powerful new protocol to treat women and men, athletes and non-athletes, with core, back, and pelvic health issues. The Core Recovery Method has helped Dr. Mueller's patients find complete resolution of their pelvic and core issues. In this episode, you will learn more about: Preparing your pelvic floor for pregnancy and delivery Why you should strengthen whole muscle groups (instead of focusing only on Kegels) The importance of breath practice and awareness for strength building and delivery Connect with Dr. Angie: Instagram: @corerecoverypt Core Recovery Method Online Program . . . .

In this episode, I interviewed a friend and colleague, Ashley Sullivan.  From her website:  Ashley Sullivan is a Women's Wellness Coach & Therapist, devoted mother, folk herbalist and founder of Rosehips & Ritual, a women-centered resource that weaves ritual and ceremony into womb healing, transformation, and empowerment. Her work brings the magic and reverence back to the many rites-of-passage that we undergo as women throughout our fertile years. After her first pregnancy in 2006, she began serving women in their journeys home to themselves through the sacred understanding of birth, fertility, and the cycles and rhythms of womanhood. She has studied at The Farm in Tennessee, been a Le Leche League leader, Birthing from Within mentor, Placenta Specialist, and served as a birth doula. Her own experiences have continued to shape and deepen her offerings. She is now raising her family at Earthaven Ecovillage and serving her community of women through Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy, one-on-one & group Fertility Awareness mentorships, vaginal steaming experiences & handcrafted botanicals, as well as holding space for exploring the depths of the feminine landscape. She supports women throughout the entirety of their fertility journey from Fertility Awareness education, to self-care practices for all phases of the cycle, pregnancy loss and release. As a devoted wife, she understands the importance of having a partner that supports the decisions and practices around fertility and women's health, so she offers education, training and coaching for menfolk as well. She spends her days enjoying her homegrown, off-grid Appalachian life, circling with her sisters, mothering her four children, lovingly preparing nourishing foods and wild-harvested medicines, reading, studying, participating in earth-based ceremonies, sewing cloth menstrual pads, singing in the dawn, playing her drum to the waters, and delighting in exploring the wisdom of her own womb and sacred cycles. Her deepest gratitudes to all who have taught and supported her along the way, Pam England, Rosita Arvigo, Mary Francis & Harvey LittleBrave, her husband Joe, her children, and her ancestors.

Today we talk to Dr. Rosita Arvigo, Naprapathic physician, International author and lecturer, and founder of The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®. She has dedicated her life and practice to preserving and elevating traditional Mayan abdominal massage practices, and using them to heal patients from all manner of reproductive system dysfunction in both body and spirit.   We talk about Dr. Arvigo's apprenticeship in Mayan abdominal massage with her mentor Don Elijio Panti, and how she merged those methods with her existing work in Naprapathy to develop the Arvigo method. We also talk about uterine displacement and the way that Mayan abdominal therapy is intended to help correct it.   We talk about how the displacement of the uterus disrupts blood flow, and the sorts of issues that can cause, as well as how correcting the placement and blood flow can help with a large number of reproductive issues. We also talk about how easily the uterus can become misaligned during a woman's life, which contributes to how common menstrual pain is for most women.   We discuss fertility challenges and the mechanics of how lymphatic blockages caused by uterine displacement may heavily contribute. We talk about Premenstrual mood issues and which parts of them are normal and natural, and which parts may be aggravated by misalignment.   Finally, we talk about some of the spiritual elements of menstrual regularity, and the ways that being misaligned be emotionally and spiritually damaging for a woman. We talk about the affects of birth control on uterine flow and discuss the considerations involved.   To Learn More Visit: https://abdominaltherapycollective.com or  https://rositaarvigo.com   For Any Questions, Email Us at media@birthcircle.com

Flashback!  Enjoy this episode from the Powerful Questions Podcast. This week I welcome one of my beautiful friends, Jen Quade to the show.  She is a holistic nurse who runs a woman-centered practice here in Minneapolis focusing on mind-body-spirit work.    This is the first of a two-part episode because our conversation was just so good!  We talk about: Her experience growing up in a very masculine environment Her life-changing trip to Brazil Breathwork Mayan abdominal massage.    Jen feels that our culture—as a whole—Is a masculine culture.  So her experience of growing up as a tomboy on a farm and eventually becoming establishing a woman-centric practice with uterine massage and feminine movement has some powerful lessons for all women.    She sees her work as “building a bridge” for other women who are also looking to trust their intuition and build community.   After a spot opened up in an oncology class, Jen took a deep dive into holistic healing.  Several opportunities arose and she found herself studying ways to calm the nervous system. Ahe became particularly interested in the power of breath control.  Those of us who practice yoga completely understand how important breath can be!    Jen also walks us through a fascinating discussion of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how our flight or fight response often registers everything as a threat, which can be exhausting.    She uses soft-bellying breathing which triggers the Vagus nerve.  Even five minutes of breathing can pull you out of the storm and back into the calm.    This breathwork eventually lead Jen to Belize, where she studied Mayan Massage under Rosita Arvigo.  Today, interested students can find teachers all over the world by visiting arvigotherapy.com.  Jen tells us about why Mayan Massage is so beneficial; the uterus is at the center of our well-being.  Alignment in this area can help our entire lives flow better aiding everything from digestion to creative energy.    Links♥   Jen Quads Website Get a free breakthrough strategy session with Jenner Leave us a review on itunes Music provided by Bensound  If you enjoy this episode, use the buttons below to share it with your community!  We appreciate the love ♡

In today's special women's edition, Tahnee (General Manager at SuperFeast) talks with Laura Clemmons - a shamanic Strega healer who uses several modalities to help her clients getting to the core of their health issues. Laura utilises plants as an integral part of her healing touch and empowers her clients to make their own medicine. The ladies explore the intuitive nature of claiming one's health and the wisdom of plants and their healing properties. During this deeply gentle and spiritual chat, Tahnee and Laura explore what it is to tune into yourself, nourish and nurture your body and care for your mind. You might even hear cameo roles from both ladies children ;P!   The ladies dive deep into: How instinct and intuition need to be trusted when working with tonic herbs and life, in general How we often can lose our way a little, but essentially, this is just a transition period into becoming more strong in your own self - we call it sovereignty Who are the ancient Strega (the traditional Italian healer) The commonalities between healing practices across the globe, including the Mayans, the Chinese How nature and animals can provide the most amazing cues for us to follow via observation and intuition The dynamic dance of a herbs constituents is where the magic is - not the individual constituents How powerful the act of prayer is to come in to a state of receiving How connected uterine massage is to a spiritual clearing How the womb has the tendency to store great emotions How vaginal steaming can be very beneficial for women, the volatile oils of the plant will be drawn and absorbed straight into the tissue The 101 on vaginal steaming  Some tips to balance motherhood and self-care Why self-love can be tricky! Sharing your women's business with your kids and family can provide great support and connection Men too, have their own cycles; self care is just as important for blokes too How we each are in charge of our own body, let go of any fear    Who Is Laura Clemmons? Laura Elvira Clemmons is a certified herbalist and graduate of the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies. She studied under Dr. Gu Ding in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Shen Nong Center in Philadelphia, PA, and Mayan Traditional Healing Practices and Uterine Care with Ms. Beatrice Waight, Belize, Ann Drucker, Boulder, CO and Rosita Arvigo, Belize. She held an apprenticeship with Linda White Dove in herbal medicine; an apprenticeship with Claudia Rosewolf in traditional North American indigenous healing practices; and an apprenticeship with Pei Fen Yan in Chinese Medicine in Boulder, Colorado.  She believes that all medical modalities are lifelong learning processes and that the more education one has increases the tools in one’s tool box. Along with a finely tuned sense of intuition she combines these healing techniques to create a healing protocol for her clients. Laura comes from a lineage of Italian stregas, or healers, and strives to maintain her ties to that tradition in her practice. She named her business, Strega Gardens, after that lineage as a way in which to honor and embody the work of her ancestors. She has practiced for over 15 years and prefers to grow or wildcraft most of the herbs used, as well as make her own tinctures, tea blends, glycerites, oils, and any other concoctions that are needed. Laura concentrates on female reproductive health.  Her work attends to physical, psychological and spiritual issues, being that these systems are integrated and inseparable.  Laura believes that caring for the reproductive system is one of the most important things that we can do, being that it is literally the gateway through which spirits are drawn from the ethers into this world.  She feels that learning to accept and love oneself is a critical aspect of the healing path, and that paying attention to the subtle messages the body sends is a crucial part of supporting the body's natural dance back into balance.  To do this, she feels we must take responsibility for our bodies and our health, and as a result we will find the healing we seek by bringing consciousness to our everyday thoughts, words and actions. Ultimately, she feels her work is to help women to discover the medicine within and does so through her practice as well as the classes and workshops she teaches.

Dr. Rosita Arvigo-- famed ethnobotanist, spiritual healer, shaman, and author-- will share about the Macal river which was the life-blood of an ancient Mayan civilization and is still important to the people there today. The Macal River flows through the Cayo District in western Belize and eventually into the Belize River. Sites along the river include the ancient Mayan town of Cahal Pech and the Belize Botanic Gardens. The river is a meandering waterway flowing through rugged mountains and countless ancient archaeological sites. It was one of the ancient Maya’s superhighways, linking urban, trade, and ceremonial centers and connecting the interior to the coastal trade routes. After linking up with the Mopan at Branch Mouth, it joins the Old Belize River to carry on down to the coast. For centuries it was a vital part of the Maya Empire and an important source of water, transport, communication, trade, food, hygiene, and recreation for the Maya.Rosita Arvigo is a Doctor of Naprapathy, ethnobotanist, spiritual healer, author of six books on traditional healing of Central America, co-founder of The Belize Ethnobotany Project with Dr. Michael Balick of the New York Botanical Garden , and an international speaker. She is the founder of Ix Chel Tropical Research Centre in Belize, the Rainforest Medicine Trail, the Terra Nova Medicinal Plant Reserve, and the children’s Bush Medicine Summer Camp in Belize. She had a thirteen-year apprenticeship to one of the last Maya shamans, Don Elijio Panti, who was born in Peten, Guatemala. She is the recipient of The Earth Award, 2007. As the founder of THE ARVIGO TECHNIQUES OF MAYA ABDOMINAL THERAPY she teaches extensive courses on the subject as well as courses in Maya Spiritual Healing.This is the second episode in a series of episodes centered around Rivers of Life.

Our guest today is my dear friend, Jen Poll. Jen is a Licensed Massage Therapist in St. Petersburg, Florida. We have a great talk with Jen on the techniques of vaginal steams, abdominal massage, and her inspiration from teachings of Don Elijio Panti and Rosita Arvigo. Steaming and Abdominal Massage can be a great way for women to maintain and achieve uterine health, to reconnect with their own body and reclaim any power they may have previously surrendered. We cover what a vaginal steam is, and why a woman may want to steam her lady parts. The massage and steam can be as ritualized as you want or can be a scheduled simple self-care technique. We also cover what to expect during the process and situations where you may want to wait before jumping in. https://www.ladypotions.com/episode13

Our Belize Talk Radio Host, Macarena Rose, proudly shares with you Rosita Arvigo, an world renowned Ancient Maya Medicine Healer in Belize.

Heather Wolfe trained as a nurse in Ireland, her native country, and lived in the USA for 38 years, where she studied and practiced many different healing modalities. She taught Polarity Therapy both in Ireland and America, which includes CranioSacral Therapy, Chakra and Sound Healing, as well as Spiritual Awareness/Knowledge, Movement, Communication Skills and Nutritional Wellbeing. She is a Reiki Master and MariEl Healer, Quantum Touch and Therapeutic Touch Practitioner, Magnified Healer, Mind Body Yoga and QiGong Instructor, and has trained in Ericksonian Psychotherapy, and Psychosynthesis as well as Coaching, Addiction Rehabilitation and Detoxification. She includes the plant kingdom in her sessions in the form of flower remedies and Essential Oils. Heather spent time in Central America with Dr. Rosita Arvigo studying Mayan Abdominal Massage, a wonderful technique brought to us by Rosita's Shamanic Teacher, Don Elijio Panti to align the uterus. Her diagnosis and recovery from breast cancer in December 2006 began a journey that deepened her insights into life and death, which she now brings to her work. After surgery, she declined the offer of radiation and chemotherapy and explored other ways to regain 100% life force. In this process she used both systems of medicine – conventional and alternative – finding both useful for more complete healing. This experience prompted her book, A Guide to Breast Cancer: A Whole Body A to Z for Prevention and Healing – A Conventional and Alternative Approach (available on backtosource.com and Amazon). Today our focus is on the fact that we are in Earth School. It all begins and ends with Source/God/Goddess/Great Spirit/Love, or whatever we want to call it/them! We use her book as a map somewhat, beginning with the letter Y - YOU. "It is very important to pay attention to who we are as humans on the Spiritual Journey," Heather says, "and there are some simple tools for understanding and revelation! Astrology, Numerology, Dosha etc." Then we move from the outside in - Air, Water, Exercise – talking about The Yoga of Nurturance: Creating Vibrant Health and Conscious Awareness. Heather's focus is on women's groups and private sessions - The Yoga of Nurturance and Whole Body Coaching as well as Cancer prevention and healing. These are her great delight! We spoke about: Heather's recent oral surgery and how it was a huge lesson in pointing to what was holding back her speech. We spoke about the chakras and sacred geometry. The four words Heather put together; resistance, resentment, conflict and despair. We spoke about the conscious mind and how it's only 7% and the subconscious mind is all the rest. We talked about being sick being one of the ways that we actually involve people in our lives and how we need disease to feel the gift of life. Heather spoke eloquently about watching ourselves, the benefit of an everyday stomach massage and how we are beings of electricity. We discussed how love and light displaces anything unlike itself. Heather talked about her ability to see patterns in people and about how it's so important for all us not to judge anything. We talked about the balance of the female energies on the Earth and her respect for the medical profession. We discussed how death is also healing, we touched on addictions and how people need love to recover from them. We spoke about ‘laughter yoga' and the importance of laughter. Then we finished by reading out Heather's Top Tips for Optimal Health. Sponsor: Sponsor is Twin Flame Hosting: Consciously hosting your spiritual websites since 1993 (twinflamehosting.com).
