Is Maya Abdominal Massage only for the postpartum or people with uteruses?

◖ While Maya Abdominal Massage is particularly useful for the postpartum and extremely supportive to folks with uteruses, it can be practiced on anyone. 

What do I wear to and during my appointment?

◖ Clients may dress down to their level of comfort, some clients choose to leave underwear on and some do not. However, I recommend wearing comfortable, warm clothes to and from your appointment so that you can stay cozy after your treatment.

Are the products you use hypoallergenic? What about unscented?

◖ Yes! I use scent-free, hypoallergenic jojoba oil sourced from Joshua Tree, California where it grows in abundance. My sheets and face cradle covers are organic unbleached cotton and my blankets are organic cotton as well.

◖ Abdominal Massage comes with the offering of an infused herbal jojoba oil to help with the energetics of abdominal massage, but I always ask first before using it!

◖ As a rule, I don’t diffuse essential oils into the air in my office. I do, however, use fresh plants in my practice— again, I always ask!

Do you have a referral program?

◖ Yes! Four referrals gets you one free massage. In other words, if four of your friends or family members come to see me for an appointment and mention your name, you get a free massage. I keep track and notify you when you have four referrals :)

What kind of payment do you accept?

◖ I accept cash, check, Venmo, debit, and credit cards. I prefer cash, check or Venmo to avoid those credit card processing fees— they really add up for a small business! At this time, I cannot accept insurance, though I hope to one day be able to! It is sometimes possible to use HSA or FSA cards (though it depends on the card).

Do you offer gift certificates?

◖ Yes! Giving the gift of massage to your loved ones is so appreciated especially prenatally or in the postpartum. Purchase a gift card here.

◖ Consider adding me to your baby shower registry and let your community chip in to shower you with healing postpartum massage care.

Do you offer discounts?

◖ I offer $10 off your treatment if you are a birth worker (Midwife, Doula, OB, Labor and Delivery Nurse, Lactation Consultant, Social Worker working with Prenatal or Postpartum families, etc). Care workers need care, too!! Use code “BIRTHWORK” when scheduling.

Do you offer packages?

◖ Soon! I will be offering packages that make getting regular bodywork more attainable. If you have ideas on what packages you’d like to see, send me a message through my contact form.
