About Yoni Steaming
Yoni Steaming is an ancient practice where a person sites over warm herbal steam to help promote a healthy body and womb. We humans often seek to improve our well-being through our mouths - we drink water or herbal tea, eat healthy foods, or take supplements.
But people with vaginas also have the ability to accept nourishment through our lower bodies in the form of steam and herbs, and this practice can provide unique benefits physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
“Until last month, Yoni Steam was foreign to me. After my second session with Becky, it confirmed for me that every woman should be aware of this sacred ritual. Becky is an amazing facilitator & eases any doubts/fears with her extensive knowledge and understanding. Thank you for enlightening me!”

Sanskrit for “Sacred Temple”- The outer vagina, vaginal canal, cervix and up into the uterus as well as the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This is a portal, our creative space. We can literally create life in this space if we choose to.

Yoni steaming is a practice where a woman (or person with a Yoni) sits over warm herbal steam that permeates the exterior of her vagina and possibly up into her uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries (womb). The warmth increases blood circulation to your yoni and it actually allows all your organs to function more efficiently and properly. It is also a potent way to administer herbal medicine because it goes directly into the bloodstream. This ritual calms the Spirit and activates powerful energy centers in the body and connects us to our Femininity.
