WHAT IS HARA THERAPY?

Hara Massage combines womb space and abdominal massage with energy healing and reflexology to nurture womb and hormonal health, support digestion and detoxification, and unravel tension from the body. It also calms your nervous system, brings nourishing blood to the physical areas of the womb space and pelvis and re-establishes vital energy to the chakras known as Chi/Qi.

Womb Hara can assist with menstrual cycle concerns, fertility and conception support, postpartum care, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, digestive health, healing after miscarriage or abortion, connection to your womb and more. 

Inspired by the traditional/ancient techniques of indigenous medicine from around the world, Hara Therapy is a therapeutic form of bodywork that is rooted in centuries-old, indigenous medicine called Sobada de Matriz, which is passed down from mother to daughter. Hara Therapy is a ritual therapy massage of the womb and/or womb space, pelvis and abdomen that helps with many women’s health conditions by using traditional reproductive healing techniques to gently guide the reproductive organs, such as the womb and ovaries back into place. The massage uses the same techniques as other womb and abdominal therapies such as Mayan, Mizan and Arvigo Therapy

The womb has two physical roles, either to grow a baby or to clean herself.  If the supporting ligaments and fascia become distorted, contracted or lose elasticity, the womb can easily slip out of her correct alignment, impacting on the circulation of arterial blood, Venus return, lymph, nerves and Qi. 

In addition to the physical roles of the womb, it is also the centre for emotional storage.  It is an emotional storage centre where everything is kept until we decide  to work with our womb.  Through this process, clients are often able to release trauma and emotions, during a therapy I hold space for this to happen during your treatment.

THE HARA CHAKRA

The Hara Chakra The Hara chakra, also known as the sacral Hara chakra, is an energy centre located in the pelvic region of the body that holds our relational, creative, and sexual energies. The hara line is an invisible axis that anchors the flow of energy within us, and it is responsible for directing the flow of energy through each major point along the spine. When in balance, the hara chakra helps us feel in touch with our purpose and potential, safe and secure in our sexuality, creative expression, and relationships with others. The hara chakra holds plenty of potential for growth and healing, empowering, inspiring, and vitalising our being.

HOW DOES HARA THERAPY HELP WOMEN?

The uterus is held in place by muscles and ligaments that can become contracted or over-stretched, allowing the womb to move out of her optimum position.  This misalignment can lead to many varied symptoms. Hara Therapy strengthens the ligaments, allowing them to heal and as they do so, guiding the womb/uterus back into her centre.  The therapy is a gentle but effective way of massaging the abdomen to improve the flow of circulatory fluids of the blood, lymph and nervous systems to strengthen the muscles and ligaments that hold the internal organs in their optimum positions. Hara Therapy relieves congestion and helps to remove blockages to stimulate physical and emotional health and well-being.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A TREATMENT

Please allow 2 hours for the first treatment.  The first session includes a detailed consultation, from the previously completed medical form emailed before your appointment.  You will have the time and space to discuss your health, diet and lifestyle and also to share what has been going on for you, this is so I can gain a better understand your personal situation.  As a Functional Medicine Practitioner, we will work together to try to establish the root cause as this can be an important part of your healing journey.  You will be asked if you would like to set an intention for the session and if you have anything you would like to work on and / or let go.

Following your consultation, I will ask you to undress down to your underwear, if you feel comfortable of course, this can be adapted for those who would prefer to remain clothes.  You will lie down on my comfy heated therapy bed and receive a nourishing castor oil pack over the womb, with warming heat packs, castor oil offers many health benefits such as reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, improving digestion and liver function and has a calming effect on the nervous system.  There is time for meditation if you so wish.

The treatment starts on your feet with a reflexology treatment focusing on specific points of the pelvic area and reproductive organs.  Using a specially blended warming Organic Womb Oil I will then move on to the deep abdominal massage of the womb/cervix, pelvis and lower back areas.  By using special technique, I locate your womb and see where it is aligning, some wombs lie off centre or fall into the bladder or bowl area, the massage helps to gently set the body up for a natural realignment so that the three sisters (womb, bladder and bowl) are better positioned.  Gentle lymphatic drainage on the front of the legs with pelvic alignment work completes the massage part of the therapy.

Once the treatment is complete I will leave you on the bed for a few minutes to prepare a herbal tea.  We will have a brief overview and discuss aftercare advice as this can be an important part of the treatment.  Depending on the individual I may bring in some Chakra healing, Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy, Acupuncture or The Emotion Code to release any trapped emotions within your system as our womb centre and our emotions are intrinsically interwoven. We will discuss this during your consultation as it vary depending on where you are at, the person and the treatment.
