Amber Abramson-Villegas, BSN, RN

In the spirit of traditional healing and reclaiming part of my own ancestry I am excited to be offering Abdominal Therapy as a certified practitioner, trained by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN.

I am an experienced professional nurse with specialities in cardiology, neurology, hospice, trauma-informed care, and population health. I am currently working on my Master's Degree as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and look forward to helping female-bodied people of all ages achieve optimal hormonal health with a natural approach when I have completed my degree. Over the years I have devoted myself to the study of plant medicine and permaculture (appreciating that these are fields of endless / life-long learning). I am passionate about braiding together ancestral healing modalities with modern medicine in order to create a holistic and knowledgable approach to optimal health. 

Abdominal therapy is a practice that has been around for centuries based on ancient Mayan techniques with modern enhancements by the revered Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN (who spent thirteen years studying with the late Mayan h’men, Don Elijio Panti in Belize). 

Abdominal therapy is beneficial for men, women, and folks of all ages to alleviate many common health concerns from digestive troubles, painful periods, fertility / pregnancy / and postpartum support, pelvic and prostate problems, as well as relief from chronic back and sacral issues. 

Treatment involves an external massage of your entire abdomen, back, hips, and sacrum. Massaging these areas systematically and thoroughly optimizes the circulation of all body systems in order to restore the body's optimal hemodynamics and homeostasis.
