Self Care Workshop in Maya Abdominal Therapy
Dr. Rosita Arvigo developed The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™ from an ancient healing tradition in Belize.

Completing Self Care Training qualifies you to perform the Arvigo techniques on yourself and prepares health care professionals to advance to training as Arvigo Practitioners.
