Mira Malcolm
1011 Center St
Santa Cruz , CA 95060

Both of my parents are massage therapists, and their influence has profoundly shaped my path and passion for healing. I specialize in women’s reproductive and digestive health, offering holistic care through a variety of therapeutic techniques. I’m especially passionate about supporting women throughout their reproductive journey, from fertility to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
One of my main specialties is Maya Abdominal Massage. This therapy incorporates teachings from renowned midwives and healers from Central America and is designed to support fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and address reproductive concerns such as cysts, fibroids, and prolapse. The massage focuses on the abdomen (from the diaphragm to the pubic bone) and the mid to lower back (from the rib cage to the tailbone), working to realign and release tension in the pelvic area.
Potential benefits of this therapy include:
Relaxing the diaphragm, improving organ function, minimizing heartburn, and creating more space for deeper breathing.
Creating length and space throughout the body, counteracting the effects of weight and gravity as the baby grows.
Promoting optimal alignment of the coccyx by working with ligaments, preparing the body for an easier birth.
Optimizing the womb's position, reducing pregnancy discomfort, and supporting a smoother birth and postpartum recovery.
Supporting lymphatic flow and relieving lower back tension.
Aiding in managing incontinence or frequent urination.
Protecting uterine ligaments from excessive stretching, reducing discomfort during pregnancy.
Helping with sciatica and edema.
In addition to massage, I offer private Yoga and Qi Gong sessions tailored to meet each client’s individual needs. I’m deeply committed to supporting women through all stages of their reproductive health with care, compassion, and knowledge.
I would be honored and thrilled to work with you.
Thank you,
Mira
