Advanced Practitioner Training (Level 3) in The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®.

Please join us for 5.5 days in the Kootenays of British Columbia to immerse yourself in these advanced teachings. It will be an honor to support your desire to carry this sacred work forward as you tend deeply the bellies and spirits of all who seek your care.    

Class content: Practitioners will be introduced to advanced Arvigo® bodywork techniques supporting pelvic balance and health, including reproductive and digestive health. We will also explore the effects of trauma in the body and how we can support clients who are experiencing short and long term emotional effects.   

Your Clinical Practice: Practitioners will be given the opportunity to discuss their best client outcome and their most challenging case study. 

Your Practitioner Skills: Early on in this training, you will have the opportunity to review and assess your Practitioner Skills, honing and fine-tuning the techniques.  

Your time in the Kootenays is an invitation to step away from the everyday experience and to allow yourself time to breathe in the healing energy of the trees and nature, away from EMFs and cell towers. The setting is in the wilderness, with delightful, solar-powered cabins and meals that will leave you feeling that this is the home you’ve been searching for. Short hikes, wood-fired hot tubs, campfires and stargazing are all  possible on a daily basis!
