The Abdominal Therapy Collective
What is the Abdominal Therapy Collective?
The Abdominal Therapy Collective (ATC) is founded on the life work of Dr. Rosita Arvigo, DN. The ATC founded in 2020 is a collective of practitioners and teachers from many nations who are spreading these healing modalities across the globe. Abdominal Therapy is a gentle external hands-on technique that can reposition organs such as the uterus, ovaries and Fallopian tubes that may have shifted, thereby restricting the flow of blood, lymph, nerve and chi.
Dr. Rosita apprenticed in Belize with the late Maya shaman, Don Elijio Panti (1893 – 1996) for thirteen years and studied for ten years with the famous herbal-midwife Miss Hortence Robinson (1922 – 2010). The story of her apprenticeship with Don Elijio is told in her book, Sastun: My Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer
Please Note: Dr. Rosita Arvigo is only affiliated with the Abdominal Therapy Collective, LLC. and with no other organization that is carrying her name.

Spiritual Bathing Retreat:
Wisdom Series Part Two
September 15-20, 2026
Join Rosita Arvigo in Greece this summer and step into a practice that has been carried through generations and is now being reawakened for modern life.
This is your invitation into a different way of working. One that is rooted in listening, presence, and relationship. With water. With plants. With prayer. And with the person in front of you.
You will learn how to:
- Prepare and offer a spiritual bath.
- Work with plants and intention.
- Guide a conversation known as La Platica.
Each day is experiential. You will both give and receive, learning through direct practice and your own felt experience. The rhythm of daily spiritual bathing becomes a quiet teacher, bringing clarity, grounding, and a deep sense of connection.
This is more than a training. Come and begin your journey in the waters of this work.
This class is a continuation of the 'Wisdom Series' classes offered by The Abdominal Therapy Collective. You need to have completed the first part of this training in order to attend this class.
Spiritual Healing
Because Dr. Arvigo teaches that the energetic and physical body must be in harmony so that true healing can be realized, spiritual healing with plants, prayer and incense is an integral part of her training.
Study with The Abdominal Therapy Collective and you will truly learn how to integrate physical, spiritual and emotional healing.
If a woman’s uterus is out of balance, she will be physically, emotionally and spiritually out of balance
