Womb Massage & Lymphatic Bodywork

Sobada de matriz / womb massage

Sobada de matriz / womb massage creates a bridge between traditional knowledge and modern anatomical understanding. The sobada is rooted in Don Elijio’s Masewal Mayan lineage.

The bodywork is focused on external abdominal, pelvic and sacral massage, supporting the ligaments of the uterus to rebalance, restoring alignment to this vital organ. The sobada can be invaluable to women's health and there are benefits to people of all ages, all stages in life, and all genders.

This work can be supportive to infertility, painful menses, lack of menses, fibroids, endometriosis, assisted reproductive technologies, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary issues, hysterectomies, and preconception/pregnancy/postpartum.

In addition to reproductive health, the sobada can aid in digestive issues, chronic low back/lower body pain and complex emotional states surrounding situations like miscarriage or terminations.

Lymphatic bodywork

MLD is a light, skin-stretching massage that helps promote the movement of lymphatic fluid out of an affected area. It should not be confused with a traditional massage.

MLD is specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid. Lymphatic bodywork is applied to your unaffected areas first, making it possible for the fluid to move out of the affected area, or “decongest” the region. MLD helps open the healthy lymph collectors and move cellular debris and fluid into them, as well as to help speed up lymph fluid flow through the lymphatics and optimize the immune system.

This work can be supportive to those with edema, chronic inflammation, headaches, arthritis, sinusitis, sprains, strains, and tendonitis. Those struggling with stress and anxiety can also benefit from this gentle work.
