Maya Abdominal Therapy in Mt. Juliet, TN
Gentle, external abdominal bodywork offered in Mt. Juliet, TN.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before your Maya Abdominal Therapy session.
What is Maya Abdominal Therapy?
Maya Abdominal Therapy is a gentle form of bodywork focused on the abdomen, lower back, hips, and sacral area. It is intended to reduce tension, support movement and circulation through the core, and encourage greater body awareness and relaxation.
What happens during the first session?
The first session includes an in-depth review of your intake information, a castor oil pack applied to the appropriate area, and hands on work involving the abdomen, lower back, hips, and sacral region. The unhurried intake helps the practitioner understand your history and goals.
Why does the introductory treatment include two sessions?
The two-session format provides time for the practitioner to learn about your needs, perform the bodywork, observe your response, and build on the initial treatment. During the second session, you may also learn a self care massage practice to use between appointments.
What is a castor oil pack?
A castor oil pack involves placing castor oil and a cloth over a selected area of the body, usually with gentle warmth. It is used as part of the relaxation and preparation process. It should not be used when contraindicated, and its use will be discussed with you beforehand.
Is Maya Abdominal Therapy painful?
The work is intended to be gentle and responsive to your comfort. You may experience sensitivity in areas that hold tension, but the treatment should not feel forceful. Communicate with your practitioner throughout the session so the pressure can be adjusted.
What concerns may lead someone to seek this therapy?
Clients may seek abdominal bodywork for core tension, general digestive or reproductive wellness support, relaxation, and improved connection with the abdominal and pelvic region. The therapy does not diagnose or cure medical conditions.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Your practitioner will explain what areas need to be accessible and how professional draping will be used. You may ask questions or request modifications at any time.
Can I receive treatment during menstruation?
Treatment may need to be modified depending on your comfort, symptoms, and the techniques planned. Contact Restora before your appointment if you are menstruating or experiencing significant pain or unusually heavy bleeding.
Can I receive treatment while pregnant?
Some abdominal techniques are not appropriate during pregnancy. Tell Restora if you are pregnant or may be pregnant before booking. Approval from your obstetrician or midwife may be needed, and your practitioner will determine whether treatment can be performed safely.
Who should avoid Maya Abdominal Therapy?
The service may be inappropriate during pregnancy, acute infections, fever, active heavy bleeding, unexplained abdominal pain, certain hernias, or presence of an IUD. Please contact Restora if you need help determining if this is the therapy for you.
