This practice has been part of ancient cultures across North and South America, especially within the Mayan tradition, where it remains deeply valued for the physical and spiritual health of both men and women. Long before modern medicine arrived in our communities, the Maya healed themselves with treatments like this, trusting in the wisdom of Nature and placing life in her hands.
An abdominal massage is recommended when experiencing headaches, nausea, lack of energy, or weakness after lifting heavy loads. These symptoms often indicate that one’s core power has been dispersed. To restore balance, the Maya applied abdominal massage with herbal salves to warm the abdomen. As children, when our stomachs grew cold from sitting too long, mothers would warm them with coals from the kitchen fire—a practice that continues to help women rekindle their inner strength and hold their energy.
Traditionally, this work has been carried out by women, rooted in the ancient knowledge of midwives. In the past, abdominal pain could signal pregnancy, and healers were called to discern whether it was pregnancy or illness. Men also received abdominal massage, as the hard labor and heavy lifting of daily life could disperse their core energy. In our culture, however, no man can touch the body of a woman unless assisted by his wife or another woman only when is required.
This gift is one that Nana Izabel was called to awaken within herself. Her mission is to help women reclaim their core power. During the massage, the patient’s energy is awakened and then wrapped with a traditional faja (woven belt) specially made for this purpose. Guided to embody and share this ancient technique, Izabel first offered it to friends and family, realizing over time its profound value. Since receiving her sacred bundle (initiation), she has been entrusted to work only with women—an instruction she honors with devotion.
