Join us to explore practices that honor your unique path and foster a sense of belonging and wholeness.
Join Miia Mikkilä for the first-ever Finnish-language Self Care Level 1 online course!
This 2.5-day course includes self-massage of the entire abdominal area, including the uterus, if present. We explore what happens when these vital organs fall out of balance (often even physically out of optimal place), why this happens, and how to start bringing this back to optimal place and function. We cover the basics of female and male reproductive and digestive anatomy and physiology, pelvic steaming, spiritual healing, castor oil treatments, pelvic wrapping with herbal support, fundamentals of herbal medicine, and exploring the connection between the body and trauma. We explore our dreams through dream circles to tap into the wisdom they hold. We also honor our heritage and the wisdom of the lineage of this work as well as our ancestors, which begins to unfold within us through this journey.
The course includes access to a Finnish-language self-care portal, which contains videos and written material to support your ongoing healing and learning journey. This online portal will stay with you.
Miia has walked a path of reconnecting with ancestral wisdom through studying Tul’ix therapy and serving clients in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Her Finnish roots and understanding of ancestral significance in healing are beautifully woven into the content of this course.
No prior experience is necessary.
Self Care Level 1 supports your personal healing process and is a prerequisite if you wish to apply for the Tul’ix Practitioner (Tul’ix Indigenous Arts) professional training (Level 2) in the future.
The course is held via Zoom and includes plenty of space for movement, rest, feeling, and practical learning.
Personal sharing will not be recorded. Course content (videos and written materials) will be available for participants to support their own learning.
Please note: Receiving a certificate requires participation on all three course days.
An invitation to deepen, remember, and reconnect.

Join Miia Mikkilä and Sheena Roberts for Self-Care Level 1 training and embark on a journey of reconnection, remembrance, and deep self-healing.
Rooted in the wisdom of the Yucatec Maya healing tradition and passed down through the lineage of Don Elijio Panti of Belize, this immersive training invites you to return to your centre—your belly, womb, and inner knowing. Through traditional healing techniques, anatomy education, and sacred self-care, you’ll learn to cultivate deeper awareness, trust, and balance in your own body.
Over three immersive days, we will explore the anatomy and physiology of the abdominal and pelvic organs, and what happens when these systems fall out of balance.
You will be introduced to practices that support deep healing and reconnection with your abdominal, pelvic and womb space such as:
Self-care abdominal massage
Pelvic steams and soaks
Castor oil therapy
Plant spirit medicine
Herbal allies
Trauma and tension patterns in the body
Anatomy and physiology education
The history and cultural lineage of this sacred work
Completion of this training certifies participants to safely practise the abdominal massage techniques on themselves and qualifies licensed practitioners to continue to Level 2 of The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® or future Tul’ix Indigenous Arts Practitioner training should they wish to.
The training will be delivered live via Zoom, with regular breaks and multiple opportunities to move away from the screen and learn through hands-on practice, meditation, and guided self-massage.
Please note: Full attendance on all three days is required to receive a certificate. The sessions will be recorded and shared only with registered participants for review.
