Shamanic Womb Massage Q&A: Everything You Need to Know

Womb massage is an ancient healing practice that is finding its way back into modern wellness. If you’ve been hearing about it but aren’t sure what it is or how it works, this Q&A will guide you through the essentials — and help you decide if it’s the right healing practice for you.

Q1: What is shamanic womb massage?

Womb massage is a gentle, therapeutic abdominal and pelvic massage that supports the physical, emotional, and energetic health of the womb space.

The womb massage that i offer, is rooted in ancient healing traditions — particularly those of the Maya, who believe that the womb is a women’s spiritual centre, which acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. Womb massage is designed to bring both physical and energetic balance, release tension, and restore your connection to your feminine centre.

In my sessions, I combine therapeutic womb massage techniques with shamanic energy healing practices, creating a combined healing experience that fosters emotional release, spiritual connection, and overall wellbeing. Massage techniques used are a blend of deep massage, releasing, holding and loosening tissues.

Womb work can really open you to your highest potential and unlock so many doors to discovering your TRUE SELF.

Q2: Who is womb massage for?

Womb massage is for any woman who wants to reconnect with her body and feel more empowered in their own skin. Women who are called to heal their divine feminine energy are often drawn to womb massage and womb work. Shamanic womb massage can take you on a profoundly healing and transformational journey; deepening your connection to your own inner voice and wisdom as well as your spiritual connection.

It can be particularly supportive if you:

  • Experience painful or irregular periods

  • Have conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids

  • Are seeking fertility or conception support

  • Are in postpartum recovery

  • Are moving through peri-menopause or menopause

  • Feel stressed, anxious, or disconnected from your body

  • Are healing from grief, trauma, or a miscarriage/abortion

  • Experience digestive or abdominal discomfort

  • Feel creatively blocked or stuck

  • Have suffered from negative sexual experiences, trauma and shame
  • Lack self-esteem and wish to awaken to cultivate self-love

Q3: What happens during a womb massage session?

Each session begins with a gentle consultation where we explore your needs, intentions, and any physical or emotional concerns. A full treatment can include deep massage of the abdomen and sacral areas. Each session is adapted to your health needs and may include all 3 areas or just the womb, abdomen or sacrum.

Shamanic Womb Massage Q&A: Everything You Need to Know Kundalini GoddessFrom there, you’ll rest comfortably as I guide you through:

  • Making you feel relaxed and safe by opening sacred space and connecting you to your body

  • Gentle, nurturing womb, abdominal, pelvic and sacrum massage.

  • Energy work to clear stagnant emotions and restore balance

  • Guided breathwork and journey to deepen your connection with your womb and your own healing capabilities

  • Your treatment with beautiful, relaxing music is played to assist you on your journey

Sessions are held in a safe, supportive environment where your comfort and consent are always prioritised.

Q4: What is the connection between my period, the moon, and my cycles?

Your menstrual cycle is more than a physical process — it’s a mirror of the natural rhythms of the earth and the moon. Traditionally, women lived in harmony with lunar phases, often bleeding with the new moon (the “white moon cycle,” linked to fertility and renewal) or with the full moon (the “red moon cycle,” associated with wisdom, healing, and spiritual insight).

Shamanic Womb Massage Q&A: Everything You Need to Know Kundalini GoddessEach phase of your cycle carries a unique energy:

  • Menstruation (New Moon): Rest, release, and inner reflection.

  • Follicular Phase (Waxing Moon): Rising energy, creativity, new beginnings.

  • Ovulation (Full Moon): Vitality, radiance, outward connection.

  • Luteal Phase (Waning Moon): Turning inward, discernment, preparing for rest.

When you honour your cycle as a sacred rhythm rather than a burden, it becomes a source of wisdom and empowerment. Womb massage supports this by helping you listen to your body, release blockages, and realign with these natural flows.

A great book that i recommend to my clients is Wild Power by Alexandra Pope. It will guide you to understanding how your power lies in the rhythm of your menstrual cycle. It’s a great place to start if you are wishing to connect with your body on a deeper level to find healing, balance and wholeness.

Q5: Is womb massage painful?

No. Womb massage is gentle and intuitive. While some areas may feel tender due to tension or stored emotion, the touch is always soft, nurturing, and guided by your comfort level. Many women describe the experience as deeply relaxing and grounding.

Q6: What benefits can I expect?

Women often report feeling:

  • Deep relaxation and stress release

  • Relief from cramps, bloating, or abdominal tension

  • A sense of emotional release and lightness

  • Improved digestion and circulation

  • A stronger connection to intuition, creativity, and feminine energy

  • A renewed sense of balance and vitality

  • More connected to their body and inner voice

Long-term, regular sessions can support cycle health, hormonal balance and emotional well-being. They can also support you on your journey of growth and self-empowerment.

Q7: Is womb massage safe for everyone?

Yes, womb massage is safe for most women. However, it’s not recommended during:

  • Early pregnancy

  • Active menstruation

  • Immediately after abdominal surgery

If you have a medical condition, I’ll always discuss your health history during the consultation to ensure the session is safe and supportive for you.

Q8: How many sessions will I need?

Every woman is on their own unique path and as this is a gentle unfolding a minimum of 3 sessions is usually recommended. These can be done weekly, or bi-weekly or even monthly, the feminine path is not linear. If you have already received womb massage a single session may provide the healing and relief you need.

Your goals and needs will be discussed in the initial consultation.

Q9: How can I prepare for my session?

As part of the consultation, you will be sent a form to complete and sent back to me before your first treatment. This form contains questions about your medical history and emotional wellbeing. It also encourages you to think about your own spiritual and healing path.  To get the most out of your session, try to:

  • Wear comfortable, loose clothing

  • Eat lightly beforehand

  • Drink plenty of water

  • Come with an open heart and intention for your healing

Q10: What makes your womb massage unique?

My practice blends shamanic womb healing, energy work, and intuitive guidance with the ancient art of abdominal massage. As a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Shamanic Womb Priestess, I hold sacred space for you to safely explore your feminine essence and release what no longer serves you.
