About singing bowl therapy
What happens during a session?
We begin by discussing your intentions. You'll rest comfortably, fully clothed, while singing bowls and other sound tools are played around you. Many guests drift into a meditative state and leave with a lasting sense of mental freshness.
Do I need any experience with meditation?
Not at all. The sound does the work — you simply breathe and receive.
Can sound therapy be combined with other services?
Yes. It pairs beautifully with massage, reflexology or a yoni steam. Ask us about building a custom ritual.
Is sound therapy right for everyone?
Regretfully, singing bowl therapy is not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker. Please let us know about any health concerns when booking.
Ready to tune in?
Book a solo session or bring someone special for a shared sound bath.
steams since
A self-love ritual for womb health.
Known as V-Steam, Womb Therapy, Chai-yok or Bajos, yoni steaming has been used for thousands of years to maintain reproductive health, restore balance and honor feminine energy. In Chinese medicine every organ holds emotional and energetic qualities — steaming helps women reconnect with their bodies in a positive, loving way.
We've perfected a calm, private way to experience this ritual — as a stand-alone treatment or alongside massage, reflexology and other therapies.
- Menstrual cramp relief
- Cycle regulation
- Menopause support
- Hormonal & emotional balance
- Fertility & conception support
- Reduced stress & anxiety
Steams are 40 minutes.
Please allow 60 minutes for your first appointment and 90 minutes for group steams. Expect to leave profoundly relaxed, refreshed and renewed.
Pair your steam with
- Abdominal / fertility massage$80
- …with castor oil pack$115
- Castor oil pack (take-home)$40
- Bentonite clay pack$30
- Womb reiki (30+ min)$30
- Private womb yoga$60
Steam packages at discounted rates are available — packages must be used by the same person.
A holistic path toward motherhood.
We use organic medicinal herbs and complementary therapies to prepare your body for conception. Our fertility program may combine yoni steams, castor oil packs, a faja (organ support wrap) and the Arvigo® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy.
We encourage a three-month period of uterine rest and self-care before actively trying to conceive — though the work can also be received while you're open to conception. The best time for your first session is between menstruation and ovulation.

What our steam guests say
Wonderful, relaxing experience! Annette was very accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely recommend this experience to every woman!
Brandy B.Annette is amazing! She is very informative and has such a lovely, calming personality. I will definitely be back!
Jessica F.I had an awesome experience. Annette was very detailed in explaining the yoni steam. The steam and massage were great — she has a calming spirit and energy.
Raquel T.I found the yoni steam to be very healing. Thank you for offering this sacred and empowering ritual.
PattyRelaxing, invigorating and rejuvenating. Speaking as a woman with menopausal issues, this says a lot — I plan to continue with yoni steams.
N. LoVerde · Apex, NCReally enjoyed my very first yoni steam! Annette was knowledgeable and compassionate to my friend and me.
Kendra G.The Maya were onto something.
Long before modern medicine, the Maya massaged the abdomen to improve organ function and promote well-being. Dr. Rosita Arvigo, a doctor of Napropathy, spent years learning from renowned Maya healer Don Elijio Panti and Belizean midwife Miss Hortence Robinson — and founded the Arvigo® Techniques on that wisdom.
The therapy addresses the abdomen, back, sacrum and hips. It's best known for supporting reproductive and digestive health, and can release emotional and energetic tension. It's suitable for women, men and children.
May help ease a range of concerns.
By stimulating circulation of blood, lymph and qi and guiding organs into optimal position, Arvigo® therapy may support:
- Displaced or prolapsed uterus or bladder
- PMS, cramps & low backache
- Irregular cycles & ovulation
- Painful menstruation
- Endometriosis
- Ovarian cysts & fibroids
- Pelvic congestion & pain
- Perimenopause & menopause
- Fertility challenges
- Common digestive issues
- Emotional & energetic tension
- Overall self-repair & balance
What to expect
We'll begin by discussing your health history and the reasons for your visit. The session focuses on the low back, hips, sacrum and abdomen (and, for women, the uterus). You'll finish by learning a self-care massage to practice at home — clients who do it regularly report the greatest improvement.
Some notice benefits after one session; most conditions call for 2–3 professional sessions.
Complete your intake formArvigo® Therapy is not intended as primary health care, but to complement the relationship you have with your physician.
One client at a time. Always.
Amb Day Spa was created as a small, intimate alternative to large spas — a place where every guest is the main focus.
Not a spa mill — a sanctuary.
When you arrive at Amb, you'll find yourself in a small, intimate and inviting environment. We are exclusively by appointment, which means every service is performed in a private setting with no waiting and no rush.

We support each guest's journey toward healing, inspiration, connection and self-discovery through mindfulness, self-care and beauty rituals that balance body, mind and spirit.
