The Abdominal Therapy Collective

Who is the Abdominal Collective?

Here’s a bit about Jac and the Abdominal Therapy Collective. Jac’s trained and taught by Dr Rosita Arvigo DN, (Doctor of Naturopathy). and basically is one of The Abdominal Therapy Collective Trainers,

In addition to many other reasons that we teach these courses, one’s to help Rosita keep her promise to Don Elijio not to let his knowledge die with him.

Rosita has kept these courses steeped in ancient knowledge and practices from the Maya Traditional healing system, meanwhile integrating with modern science and knowledge.

We continue to use to pass on this knowledge from master to apprentice as similarly practised Maya traditions now and into the future. This is why it’s important we give praise and acknowledge those who went before us.

Don Elijio Panti

Don Elijio Panti

Don Elijio Panti is certainly known as the most famous Shaman to have ever lived. During his lifetime he had never taken an apprentice until he met Rosita Arvigo. It wasn’t until he had a dream one night that his apprentice was Rosita that he started to train her properly. After that Rosita studied with Don Elijio for many years until he died.

He asked her to promise that after his death she would not let his knowledge die with him and leave his people without a healer. As a result of this and to keep her promise she has kept by training therapist all around the world, setting up the Tropical Research Foundation and school for Traditional Healers of Belize.

Miss Hortence Robinson

Miss Hortence
