Vaginal steaming is one of the most relaxing ways I know to take care of yourself.
Vaginal steaming is a gentle self-care ritual that I fell in love with and trained in, so that I could help other women do it safely. I'll go through your history, make a plan that fits you, and teach you how to steam safely, online or in person.
It gave me a ritual to come back to.
For me, steaming helped regulate my cycle. But it also gave me a ritual and an anchor, a way to take care of myself and show up for myself consistently.
For the women I work with, more than anything, it's the relaxation. We hold so much trauma and tension in our hips and our pelvic floor, and steaming is a gentle way to bring attention, love, and care to a part of our body that often gets neglected.
Some women also come to steaming with real women's health issues, and there's a lot of anecdotal evidence that it can support them. It hasn't been well studied yet, so I won't promise results. I'll tell you what I've seen and what women have shared with me.
Every woman with a vagina.
I recommend steaming to any woman who wants to show up for herself, take care of herself deeply, and connect with her body and her divine feminine energy.
Usually, what brings women to steaming is just life. She's parenting, she's in perimenopause, or she's moving through an initiatory phase of her life. She's dealing with a lot, and living in the patriarchy will do that. She's learning more about herself, she's wanting more, and she wants to take care of herself deeply.
Three ways to get started.
Every steam plan starts with a free 15 minute chat. If it feels like a good fit, I'll send you a time and a payment link for your intake.

A consult is supportive, honest, and calm. A lot of women walk in a little skeptical, a little nervous, or still on the fence. They usually leave relaxed, saying it was simpler than they expected and wishing they'd done it sooner.
The questions I hear most.
Is it about cleaning my vagina?
Not at all. Your vagina is completely self-cleaning, and steaming isn't something you need to do to get clean. It's a gentle self-care ritual, and some women report therapeutic benefits from it.
Isn't it dangerous? Will I get burned?
I follow safety precautions so you don't get burned. And if something ever feels too hot, you don't sit over it. It's pretty much common sense.
Will it throw off my pH?
Many women have found it helps regulate their pH. It hasn't been studied, though, so that's what women report, not something research has proven.
Do I need to come in person?
No. We can meet online and you steam at home, or you can come in person and I'll steam you or teach you there.
What's your training?
I'm a certified peristeam facilitator through the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute and a certified menstrual cycle coach through the Cycle Coach School.
Who shouldn't steam.
I promise
- A safety check first
- Herbs chosen for you
- Clear, simple steps for home
I don't promise
- That steaming treats or cures anything
- That it replaces medical care
- A diagnosis, because I'm a coach, not a doctor
Two steam saunas I love.
A steam sauna is a wooden box that lets you sit comfortably over the warm herbs. I'm affiliated with both of these. They're both great, just different.
Sauna V
A simple, minimalist, functional seat, and the budget-friendly option. It works beautifully, and it's the one I use when I steam clients.

A beautiful steam sauna with engraved artwork. It works just as well, and I love it so much that it's the one I have at home.
