Frequently Asked Questions

Participants usually include professionals who want to add steam to their services as well as people who want to learn how to use steaming for themselves and their family. Midwives, Acupuncturists, Doulas, Naturopathic and Integrative Doctors, Nurses, Massage Therapists, Alternative Medicine Providers and women’s wellness advocates are all common program participants.

The courses are self-study but we have active discussion forums and a lounge to interact with other students.

YES! All of the videos are pre-recorded so you can go at your own pace. You can wait until you have time off to binge watch. Also, even though the videos are pre-recorded, the comments are in real time. Anytime you have a question you can post it in the comments and I’ll reply.

Yes, the courses have lifetime access so long as the company and platform continue to exist.

Level 1 takes two to four weeks on average to complete.

 

Level 2 takes six months to a year on average to complete.

Yes! We have a lounge and live discussion forums for each course.

You can purchase both together if you would like. There is a no return policy so it’s a good idea to get a sense for the program first by starting with Level 1. That said, some people like to sign up for both at the same time because they want to take advantage of a sale price or they know that they want to take all the courses. Click here for a special link that will add both programs to the cart. (If you have already purchased some courses make sure to login so they are deducted from the total.)

Level 1 = $1,164 plus Level 2 = $4,462 = $5,626 total

Level 1 must be completed prior to Level 2.

 

I can’t speak for the knowledge you have but my classes are composed of different information. They are based on my research with hundreds of clients observing their menstrual cycle patterns before and after steaming. 

 

In my PF1 Steam Facilitation Basics, for example, I talk about medical contraindications for steaming (uterine ablation, for example) as well as different steam user sensitivities – uterine bleeding sensitivity, medical sensitivity, excess heat sensitivity and more. All of my herb formulas and steam plans are based on this foundation and without them the level 2 courses wouldn’t make sense.

No. If you are logged in the system will automatically deduct any courses that you’ve already paid for from your total.

Except for a few stand-alone classes (which I call the “hot singles”) all the courses must be completed in sequential order. Each course builds upon the information from the class that comes before it so they don’t make sense if you skip ahead.

Yes! You can take the labor prep course at anytime. It is a stand-alone class that doesn’t require previous courses to take it. It is recommended for all birthworkers and pregnant women/people.

If someone who is going to steam for labor needs more guidance on how to set up a steam session at home and how to create herb formulas the following courses are recommended together:

PF1: Steam Facilitation Basics

PF2: Easy-to-Make Vaginal Steam Herb Formulas

PH08: Vaginal Steaming for Labor Prep

Add All 3 Courses to Cart

This class is not a stand alone class. In order to be fully trained to work with postpartum clients and all the possible situations that arise, a practitioner will have to know how to read someone’s bleeding (which is taught in PH01 Menstrual Cycle Analysis). They will have to know how to stop heavy bleeding (which is taught in PH04 Steaming for Uterine Fatigue). They will have to know how to work with infections (which is taught in PH05 Steaming for Infections). They will have to know what to do if someone is not getting a full uterine cleanse or has retained pregnancy matter (which is taught in PH06 Steaming for Stagnation). Additionally, the practitioner will have to know when someone is contraindicated, when they are a steam-sensitive user, how to choose the right herb formula for someone, how to make that formula and what to do when someone experiences certain side-effects after steaming (which is all taught in Level 1).

 

If someone jumps right into the class on postpartum without the previous courses they will not be fully trained or fully able to help their clients in all the situations that might arise.

In general we need more birthworkers that are fully trained steam therapists. If this is a modality that you would like to use on this level we need you. If this is more study than you are interested in, please check out the Steam Practitioner Directory for a postpartum steam practitioner that you can partner with who has undergone this level of study. Also, feel free to message me for a referral and I’d be happy to pair you up with someone.

This class is not a stand alone class. In order to be fully trained to work with fertility clients and all the possible situations that arise, a practitioner will have to know what menstrual cycle imbalances the client may have that might be contributing to fertility issues (which is taught in PH01 Menstrual Cycle Analysis).

 

After that initial point, the practitioner will have to know how to resolve whatever menstrual cycle imbalances may be presenting themselves. The courses that teach how to resolve the issues that might relate to fertility concerns are PH04, PH05, PH06, PH07, PH11, PH12, PH13, PH14 . You will need info from one or several of these classes in order to work with the fertility client.

Jumping straight to the fertility course a practitioner will be missing fundamental knowledge that the practitioner or their client will be depending on for fertility. The outcome may be that the client ends up pregnant but that they don’t carry to full term.

 

In order to take the fertility course please complete Level 1 and Level 2 courses in sequential order until reaching the fertility module. If this is more study than you are interested in, please check out the Steam Practitioner Directory for a fertility steam practitioner that you can partner with who has undergone this level of study. Also, feel free to message me for a referral and I’d be happy to pair you up with someone.

Please read the response above regarding the postpartum and fertility courses. The same applies to fibroids. Helping with fibroids is complex and requires foundational courses to be able to deal with a lot of different situations.

 

We need more practitioners who are willing to undergo this study. If this is not you please consider partnering with a Peristeam Hydrotherapist (Steam Practitioner Directory) who has already delved into this level of learning. If this is you I’ll see you in class! Start at Level 1 Certification and then move onto Level 2 and work your way up.

Yes! There are actually thousands of reviews on the Steamy Chick Institute. Please read through them as they help give a very good sense of the program and course content. Here are a few to get you started.

 

“I loved this course. I learned so much to add to my practice and help my lovely clients. I’m also happy I can bring this knowledge to my family, friends and community. I learned so much about proper uterine health and what a healthy period looks like. I think, like most areas of women’s health, I thought it was normal to suffer. I’m happy to find out things don’t have to be that way and to implement a steaming regimen into my life to help give me a healthier womb.”

 

“I now feel assured to administer vaginal steams to women thanks to the Vaginal Steam Facilitator course. I very much appreciated the information on contraindications, sensitivities and protocols. I believe anyone who is steaming themselves or offering to another should learn from Steamy Chick’s extensive experience.”

 

“This course is amazing knowledge to have as a women’s health practitioner. I can´t wait to add this into my practice. As a herbalist and functional medicine nutritionist working with women I’d say this is the perfect compliment to the rest of your toolbox. Thank you Steamy Chick for this class, knowledge and opportunity to be able to help even more women with a natural approach.”
