Womb Healing Sesions

Abdominal uterine massage opens up channels, moves blockages, increases circulation, brings warmth, intention, and awareness to this place we so often disconnect from. The womb is the root and holds memory, sensations and energy. I weave in somatic dialogue, plants, herbal oils, and hot stones to support our healing work together.

Sessions are 1.5 hr

Sliding scale $150-180

 Abhyanga

Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic hot oil massage that calms the mind and nervous system and directs the flow of vata (air/ether elements) downward. Abhyanga works by moving the lymph, releasing stagnant energy to aid the body’s natural detoxifying ability. The warm, herbalized oil penetrates the deepest layers of skin and tissues, aided by the heat from hot stones. Marma points (energy points) are integrated into the Abhyanga, activating the energetic pathways in the body to help facilitate the body’s innate ability to heal and balance itself. 

This is a full body treatment that uses generous amounts of warm, organic, ayurvedic herbal oil. Abhyanga includes abdomen and womb massage which aids in the healing of digestive imbalances and repressed emotions held in this area. This also includes an optional breast/chest massage for optimal lymphatic health.

Sessions are 1.5 hr

Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Massage) has many benefits during pregnancy. Research strongly suggests that regular prenatal massage can lead to fewer complications during birth and fewer newborn complications. This nourishing ritual creates space to receive while your body is giving so much to grow a baby.

  • Decreases pain & discomfort: specifically good for low back, hip & sciatic nerve pain 

  • Supports circulation: helping to reduce swelling and promote healthy blood & lymph flow for both mama & baby.

  • Nourishes the skin: the food grade organic oils used in Abhyanga help nourish the skin, reducing and preventing stretch marks. 

  • Improves sleep: calming excess vata and increasing relaxation in the body naturally helps sleep.

  • Balances vata dosha before birth

“Katia welcomes a co created space, we start by checking in and come into presence together through a brief meditation before I get on the table.

I’ve been brought to tears by the beauty that has come forth through these sessions and the depth that Katia can hold. As feelings or sensations may arise Katia intuitively asks questions, bringing me into a deeper state of presence and connection to what sensations and feelings I’m experiencing. We’ve done deep healing work by tending to ancestral trauma held in my womb space.

Katia crafts beautiful oils that have welcomed a reconnection to plant allys for me. I feel pampered every time by the deep care katia offers. Describing the beauty of Katias work is hard to put into words, I highly recommend working with her to have a direct experience of your own. “

-Emily Bendavid

“Katia bridges the spiritual realm to the physical body. She creates a space that feels safe, honorable and feminine. I trusted her to guide me through a life changing experience and I would recommend her care to all women in search of healing and transformation.”

-Kaelin Bovee

“I had a beautiful session with Katia. She is a magical human being and the session with her was full of love and support. I took a three hour drive to Santa Cruz for an abdominal massage and got more than what I expected from it. I left with a lot of clarity , inner peace and a resolution to my struggle. I recommend her very much! Speechless what you can get out of the sessions with Katia.”

-Alejandra Barocio

“Katia is a rare and gifted healer. The purity of her being and the gentle presence in her gaze is not something that can be taught. Her level of training, dedication and skills only increase her capacity for offering grace filled healing. Sessions with Katia are physically nurturing, emotionally nourishing, and allow for deep ancestral soul release and re-organization in the tissues and beyond.
