Core Healing
Did you know...
...Upward of 70 million Americans suffer from at least one gastro-intestinal ailment?
...It’s estimated that most Americans experience IBS at some point in their lives, that 30% take Antacids with their meals, and many more will ultimately die from life-threatening digestive disorders?
When your digestion functions well, you get to lead a more joyous, energy-filled life!
Why focus on the abdomen?
It’s the core of the body, the nucleus of our physical and emotional well-being. At Infusion Massage & Wellness, we believe you deserve a life free of dependency on pharmaceuticals to help you digest, or treatments which just plain don’t feel good. Abdominal massage is a soothing and effective way to treat ailments of the belly and pelvis, and a breath of relief where other approaches may cause discomfort or long-lasting detrimental effects.
Abdominal massage enhances the flow of blood, lymphatic fluids, nervous impulses, and life force energy—blockages of which cause a slew of common female and male reproductive and digestive problems, as well as a host of seemingly unrelated complaints.
With manual techniques, we address the actual cause of these ailments, rather than just the symptoms, and encourage the body’s innate ability to heal and repair itself.
Muscles get all the attention in massage, but... our bellies need TLC, too! All our vital organs, never resting to keep us alive and healthy, are located in the core of our bodies, and because of the huge amount of nerve pathways in our bellies, this area often bares the brunt of stress and trauma. For centuries folks have believed that organs hold negative emotions and toxic thoughts, and most healing traditions everywhere have utilized a set of abdomen specific massage techniques. So we combine the power of abdominal work with the feel-good of massage, for total body treatment!

Integrative Abdominal Techniques
Integrative Abdominal Techniques refers to an expanded set of deep, belly massage techniques moving beyond the specificity of the Mayan Abdominal Massage, which focuses more on menstrual and fertility issues. These techniques work with the organs, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues to bring particular relief to many common conditions like:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Chronic indigestion, gas, and bloating
- Colitis
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
- Ulcers
- Gall bladder inflammation
- Diverticulitis
- ... and many more
These techniques are also fantastic for breaking up scar tissue and adhesions; they also aid detoxification and cleansing processes. They also treat the same conditions as Mayan Abdominal Massage, and have many of the same objectives.
Integrative Abdominal Techniques draw from the age-old art of Chi Nei Tsang, as well as modern healing arts such as Visceral Manipulation and core strengthening techniques and help relieve many pelvic and abdominal conditions typically treated by drugs or surgery.
I co-teach these techniques to healthcare providers throughout the greater Seattle area with Love Your Guts Seminars—the belly massage education program facilitated and taught by Marty Ryan, LMP, the Massage Director at the Tummy Temple.
