While spending time at my local library I came across Mothering Magazine March -April 2010 (www.mothering.com) which had a lot of great articles in it. One article caught my eye – “Mayan Womb Massage – –How an ancient technique can prepare your body for conception and ease menstrual cramps. ” – by Catherine S. Gregory.
The article talked about the “importance of a properly positioned uterus” in the pelvis and what might result if the uterus is improperly positioned – painful pregnancies, difficult labor, ovarian cysts and even irregular ovulation or no ovulation resulting in infertility.
Other non-fertility related problems could be frequent urination, UTIs, bladder & bowel incontinence, constipation and even varicose veins. The article even has a “Do-it-yourself Mayan Massage” section (please read all the precautions before trying). http://www.mothering.com/links/
I had never heard of this kind of massage – have you??? Please let us know if the Mayan Massage has helped you and how.

I am a Maya Massage practitioner and I have also had several miscarriages. I have found it to be a wonderful and soothing therapy for me personally. I am a “fix-it” type of person and I wanted to do something for myself during recovery (in addition to receiving other types of healing work.) I have known for some time that my uterus is tilted, so this was a great massage for me.
