Women’s health care is meant to be in the hands of women. 



Ma School was founded on this belief.  What we have witnessed throughout this program is the inmmense healing capacity that we hold when we gather in community, when we are seen and heard and when he hold space for each others' transformation.   

This is and invitation to be a part of a paradigm shift in how women are tended to.  Womb Continuum Care is a path of feminine embodiment.  A homecoming to the body, to reconnect with all the parts of your self. 

This retreat is the final step for our Womb Continuum Practitioner Training students, the culmination of an 18 month training. You are invited to attend this retreat to receive 5 days for Womb Continuum Care from this powerful circle of women.      





Experience

Spend 5 days at a luxury retreat center, on a pristine private beach on the west coast of Mexico.  We will start our days with a morning movement practice to land in the body.  We will have morning and afternoon sessions where you will be receiving a daily 2-3 hour bodywork session with one of our trained Womb Continuum Practitioner students and have the opportunity to enjoy workshops and  activities on the land.   We end every day sitting in circle for an integration and opportunity to share. 

Womb Continuum Care session focus on hands on/hands in pelvic care.  In this container we will have the time and space to slowly and intentionally work with every layer of our tissues - fascia, muscles, organs, blood, lymph, bone - to bring more flow, balance, alignment and fluidity.  Tending to our tissues in a deep container like this, we are able to arrive back into our body, into our pelvis and fully land in the power of our being and our womanhood.

REMAINING BALANCE

ANDREA TERRONES

Andrea is a mother, healer and educator who is passionate about feminine embodiment and supporting women through multiple life stages. She works at the intersection of traditional healing modalities and modern science. She is especially devoted to reconnect with the ancestral healing practices from her Mexican indigenous lineage. For the last 10 years she has apprenticed with many traditional Mexican midwives, sobadoras, shamans and healers. She has also studied with multiple experts in abdominal and pelvic work such as Holistic Pelvic Care, Sexological Bodywork and Scar Tissue Remediation. She has formal education in Body-Mind Therapy and Hypnosis, Herbal Medicine and is currently studying Functional Medicine and Nutrition. She has weaved together all this knowledge to develop her unique hands on hands in bodywork practice.  

She is the founder of Ma, a project dedicated to supporting women’s sexual and reproductive health throughout the womb continuum. She has specialized in working with women in the postpartum period and helps them navigate this complex time through hands on care, somatic therapy and education on how to best support the body during postpartum recovery.  

Andrea believes in an individualized holistic approach to healing by understanding the unique complexities of each individual and working with multiple layers of the self. She promotes radical body sovereignty and responsibility so that each person can take charge of their health and become their own healer. Her goal is to create containers for profound transformation, radical self-care, feminine embodiment, and catalysts for growth. 


ETHICS STATEMENT

One of the guiding pillars of our work is creating a space for women to remember their wholeness. As wholeness is our original physiological blueprint, we are devoted and committed to holding space that is fully contained for that remembrance to begin.
 
We as teachers and our students commit to our inner work, as we believe you can only hold space for others to the degree that you have held space for yourself. We acknowledge the importance of physical, emotional, mental, sexual, spiritual well-being and how our devotion to our self-care is in direct correlation to the way we hold and offer this work.
 
Our guiding principles are:
  • Our goal is always to support women to have a safe, consensual and embodied experience.   
  • Consent + choice are actively and continually worked with, so everyone feels empowered to use these skills.
  • Boundaries are of utmost importance, they are always discussed before any hands-on hands-in work begins and are adhered to during session work. Respecting boundaries also includes stopping touch at any time when the student/client requests it.
  • Any form of intimate/sexual interaction between teachers and students/clients and students with students is strictly not allowed during the duration of the training. There are no exceptions.
  • It is the teachers and student’s responsibility to ensure proper hygiene protocols are followed and proper precautionary measures are taken against transmission of communicable disease and infections.
  • Alcohol and drugs including cannabis are not allowed to be ingested/used during training. Students will refrain from providing and/or receiving bodywork sessions if under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs. There are no exceptions
  • Teachers and students will respect the privacy of each individual at the training and adhere to the confidentiality form.
  • Practitioners must be aware of avoiding their own gratifications that can arise from this work such as power, authority and sexual pleasure in order to provide a safe space for students.
