Self Care Training ~ LEVEL 1
A time of Empowerment... | This workshop is designed to educate and empower YOU to use your own two hands to help yourself!
The Self Care - Level 1, is the first of 2 levels ATMAT practitioner. No specific qualification is required, this workshop is open to any person who desires to take good care of themselves or become a qualified ATMAT practitioner.
You will learn techniques that are founded on the ancient Maya method of abdominal massage. The Arvigo Technique is traditionally known for its benefits to the digestive and reproductive systems of both males and females.
Join us for a weekend spent caring for yourself in a gentle but profound way.
Prepare yourself to be amazed at the wonders of YOUR body and how environmental circumstances and life style can affect your general health and wellbeing.
Arvigo® Therapy is founded on an ancient Maya technique of a non-invasive, external abdominal massage. Arvigo® Therapy stimulates circulation and blood flow within the abdominal area, supporting the body for optimal function of digestive and fertile health and wellness. It is a therapy that can be applied throughout every stage of a woman, man or child life.
Arvigo® Therapy incorporates a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Only by treating the whole person on a physical, emotional and energetic level can true healing take place. The unique aspect of Arvigo® Therapy is that you learn how to massage your own abdomen, helping to sustain the good circulation and blood flow encouraging the body functions.
Being taught how to massage your own abdomen is truly empowering. By doing your Self Care massage regularly you carry the benefits long after the class. You feel more in control of your wellbeing and you are physically and emotionally connected to your body-mind-energetic system. This workshop not only teaches the Ancient Maya heritage of abdominal massage, why and how to look after your abdomen, guided meditation and lifestyle suggestions but most importantly it offers you the chance to reconnect to an often neglected area of the body, often offering insight into personal conditions and situations experienced.
Prepare yourself to be amazed at the wonders of YOUR body and how environmental circumstances and life style can affect your general health and wellbeing.
This training is required to access the Arvigo® Professional Care Training as we believe that a good practitioner is the one who is taking care of oneself & who has gone throng the same path that is also proposed to the clients.
This Self Care Workshop covers: A brief history of the lineage and Dr Rosita Arvigo; basic anatomy and physiology of the abdominal and reproductive organs; the causes and symptoms of shifted organs; simple information on diet; spiritual and emotional health; demonstration and practice of the self care technique. All participants receive a 30 minute ’one to one’ evaluation and guidance in the Self Care massage. Your one-to one session may fall outside class times so please be prepared to stay after class.

Professional Care Training - LEVEL 2
Abdominal Work
During the class you will learn how to treat your client’s (or patient’s) abdomen. With a gentle, non invasive and external sequence of inspired movements you will be able to facilitate the blood, lymph and nervous system circulation, not to mention the energetic system, that in some cultures they call Prana, Chi, in this case we call it Chul’el. By keeping these 5 flows flowing you are enhancing the natural balance of the body, also known as Omeostasis.
You will learn how to relax the abdominal muscles, reducing pressure from the internal organs; ultimately you will master how to support the digestive and reproductive systems which are the key to your client’s general well being.
This course applies a multi-system approach (anatomy and physiology, lymph, circulatory, etc.) in demonstrating bodywork techniques, addressing herbal and nutritional support, and spiritual and emotional support.
Back Work
Since our focus is to keep the balance, or restore it, in the abdominal cavity, the Arvigo® Techniques has a complete sequence that addresses the lower back, the sacral region and the hip’s balance, adding to the already complete abdominal work, a very thorough organic and holistic approach.
The back work is what makes the treatment very special for many clients who only expect to have a “belly massage”.
Teachers Team
During the PCT you are going to have a Teachers Team, in order to guarantee the efficiency of our teachings, and in order to always find a way to communicate with each personality. Having a team also means having different methods and different way to express the contents, so the students can benefit from a multi personality (and frequently multi cultural) approach, as described by a student:
“I cannot close without identifying my great teachers: Beth Townsend, Gloria de Gast, and Tina Torii (their assistant). They were a dynamic trio that led our Professional Care class of twelve into six information packed days. Beth and Gloria delivered eloquently structured lectures, supported with well-curated slides and the Arvigo manual, a comprehensive tome detailing Rosita Arvigo's massage protocols and the ancient remedies she acquired from her studies under Don Elijio. So much to take in! My teachers provided a myriad of ways for us to connect with this material: visual, audial, and experiential. And best of all, they fearlessly approached the component that so often gets dismissed or does not exist in formal trainings: the spiritual. Using rituals founded in the ancient practice of the Maya, they modeled the deeply intentional and meditative approach to doing this bodywork. This was an awakening. It served to remind me that I am a seasoned healer, holding the wisdom of so many in my hands. When I touch a patient, I am sharing what I've learned from my teachers and what I've learned from all the other bodies I've touched. This is a genuine gift and in exchanging this wisdom with one person I am entering a spiritual and sacred contract with him/her to continue growing with this gift. Between practitioner and client this is a mutual act of sharing, trust, patience, and faith. It demands letting go and holding open an emotional space for ourselves and our clients. Grounding my practice with this attention to the spiritual is an outcome that I did not envision when I took that leap of faith and signed up for this training. But it goes without saying that it is an invaluable redirection of my purpose in this work, and for that I am most grateful.” (Martie)
Mentoring and Assisting Program
When you get your diploma we are going to be there for you with the opportunity to accomplish 25 case studies (which are a requirement to access the next level of education - Advanced Clinical Application) under the supervision of your mentor. Your mentor is one of your advanced teachers. The Mentor will dedicate quality time to help you embracing this new way of treating your clients with the mere goal to make you feel competent and confident.
“And much to my surprise the journey does not stop when class is over, Gloria (the mentor) is always ready with a quick answer and input whenever I have a question, which I often do. She is still my guide and mentor for my case studies and for anything else that comes up.” (Tracy Ash)
When you have attended a class you can propose your candidature to assist it. Assisting is a very precious gift: you will be included in the Teachers team, the teacher of records will give you some responsibilities in order to allow you to grow into your teaching skills and group facilitating role. You have the unique opportunity to reinforce your technique and you will be a valuable part of the class. You will be asked to communicate your goals so that the team will make it possible for you to reach them.
Learning by being part of something very tangible and truly special.
Entering a Tribe
After graduation from the Professional Care Training you can access a private group of practitioners coming from everywhere around the globe and with different backgrounds, tapping in a valuable and resourceful container, that can help you deal with what your clients bring to you. This cohesive and like minded group of people is a very valuable gift that comes with this training.
Becoming a Community Educator
We want to empower our clients, the more they are willing to gain or maintain their balance, the more they will reach their goals: you will be asked to teach them the Arvigo® Self Care (one on one), accessing the role of a Community Educator. You will be surprised how this transmission of knowledge is well perceived and applied. Often the answer from clients is something like: I wish somebody told me this when I was younger…
With your competence you will be inspiring many!
The Manual
The Arvigo® Institute is constantly updating a very valuable manual rich of information and tools. It is a comprehensive text where you can find most of your answers, and if you cannot find them, you can always ask your mentor or your fellow practitioners.
The Lineage
These techniques have been inspired from the traditional Shamanic Healer Don Elijio Panti, located in Belize, Miss Hortence Robbins and many other rappresentatives of a traditional knowledge. Dr. Rosita Arvigo dedicated her life to be a bridge between this amazing intuitive knowledge and the western medical system. In her work she managed (and still does) to create a very effective and holistic sequence that respects and enhance this ancient and precious knowledge.
Every year Dr. Rosita Arvigo and the Advanced Teachers meet in order to make sure that we all keep intact the knowledge so when you become part of it you are actually entering a much deeper and wider knowledge, supported by an untouched lineage.
