Incredible in depth course to support you to feel confident in choosing herbs to steam for yourself and others. Keli delivers information in a clear way that makes it easy to understand and learn. Thank you

Great information for those women who do not truly understand their bodies as well as those who want to know where and how to begin their self-care journey. Positive and impactful information that women of all ages should have access to. I am so grateful there are women who have the experience and knowledge necessary for guiding us as women back to the more natural means of healing and care. I also appreciate and cherish the more ancient traditional practices of health care that have been left behind. I’ve heard of steaming but did not realize the many things it can address and heal so I am very excited about beginning my journey of steaming, healing, and hopefully becoming a mother.

really nice course to dive deeper into the knowledge around steam.

rally nice course to dive deeper into the knowledge around steam.

This course sparked so much inspiration for playful creation within me, it was incredibly informative as a novice herbalist. Each module was broken down in an easily digestible fashion, I have truly learned so much and I’m so excited to continue expanding my knowledge and relationship with herbs particularly in this field.

I learned way more than expected! This should be mandatory for all youth!

I am blown away by how much I learned although I have been having my womb cleanse for 13 years! This course should be mandatory for all youth!

This was a great course. There is always something to learn especially when it comes to racism – highly recommend this!

This course is extremely informative and has been helpful to me in general. As a doula, I think this is a pertinent course that we should all have under our belt even if it’s not a service offered to clients. However, once you take this course…you are NOT going to want to gatekeep this information. Grateful I decided to take this course, and I look forward to continuing all the way to the end. Thank you so much Steamy Chick for what you are doing for the community!

Vaginal Steam History and Culture is a really dope course that teaches the role of Colonialism and development, Folk Gynecology endangerment, how to appreciate rather than appropriate cultures and so much more. This course is very important and the information can be applied to more than vaginal steaming. I highly recommend it!

This course was very thorough! I learned things about my vagina & reproductive system that I have never known! It’s worth every penny! Makes me even more excited to go on this journey & super happy to teach my 4 girls about how to have a healthy Yoni!

An Empowering and Comprehensive Course – PF8: Vaginal Steam Business by Keli ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Where do I begin to describe the life-changing experience that is the PF8: Vaginal Steam Business course led by Keli? From start to finish, this course is a masterclass in both the technical and business aspects of vaginal steaming, presented in a relatable and professional manner. The first thing that stands out is the course structure. Keli has designed a curriculum that is both comprehensive and engaging, covering everything from the history and science of vaginal steaming to the legal and marketing aspects of running this unique business. I particularly appreciated the modules that dive into the health benefits and cultural implications of the practice, providing a well-rounded perspective. Keli herself is an exceptional instructor. Her approach is both warm and knowledgeable, making even the most complex topics easy to grasp. Her real-world experience in the vaginal steaming business shines through every lecture, making the course deeply practical and relevant. Her personal anecdotes and case studies added an extra layer of authenticity that you simply can’t get from textbooks alone. The course also includes invaluable resources such as templates for client consent forms, business plans, and even marketing materials. It’s evident that Keli has put in significant effort to set her students up for success. Her Q&A sessions are extremely helpful, offering personalized guidance for aspiring entrepreneurs. One aspect that I found extremely beneficial was the community Keli has built around this course. The access to an online forum where students can discuss, share, and seek advice is an incredible asset. It’s inspiring to be part of a community of like-minded individuals who are just as passionate about vaginal steaming and women’s health. To anyone considering diving into the world of vaginal steaming as a business or simply looking to expand their knowledge, the PF8: Vaginal Steam Business course by Keli is the definitive resource you should not pass up. This course is an investment in not just a business, but in empowering women through holistic health options. Bravo, Keli, for delivering a course that is as informative as it is empowering. I walked away with more than just business knowledge; I walked away inspired and confident to make a meaningful impact in women’s lives. Thank you!

#### Vaginal Steam Critics: A Beacon of Balance in Women’s Wellness ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 Stars) In the ever-evolving world of women’s wellness, it’s crucial to have reliable, balanced information to navigate through trends and traditions alike. Vaginal Steam Critics (VSC) rises to the challenge, offering well-researched, thoughtful critiques and analysis on the controversial practice of vaginal steaming. What I appreciate most about VSC is their dedication to evidence-based reporting. While many outlets either glorify or condemn vaginal steaming without proper context, VSC provides readers with a nuanced, scientifically-informed perspective. They don’t shy away from examining both the traditional cultural contexts in which the practice originated, and the modern claims about its purported benefits and risks. Their articles are impressively well-written and well-cited, using a wide range of sources from medical journals to interviews with gynecologists and traditional healers. This creates a balanced view that is extremely valuable in today’s climate of “quick fixes” and sensationalized health claims. VSC also excels in reader engagement. They are constantly updating their content based on new research and reader questions, showing a commitment to education and truth. The website itself is user-friendly, clean, and easy to navigate, making it simple to find the information you’re looking for. Additionally, the site doesn’t merely critique; it educates. After reading their articles, you’ll come away not just with a better understanding of the topic at hand, but also with a broader perspective on how to critically evaluate health and wellness claims in general. In summary, Vaginal Steam Critics is a commendable platform that makes an invaluable contribution to the discourse on women’s health. It’s a resource I wholeheartedly recommend for anyone interested in understanding the complexities surrounding vaginal steaming and other trending wellness practices.

Very thorough and informative, definitely a must in understanding how to read the moonflow!

This was by far my favorite section. it was packed with with so much thorough information. im feeling so much more confident to help other women suffering from fibroids and cyst.

This is a highly recommended module as many women are suffering with PCOS and endometriosis.

The course on the History and Culture of Vaginal Steaming was profoundly impactful for me, touching on multiple dimensions such as generational traumas, the importance of steaming rights, and the disparities between men and women in healthcare. I’m deeply grateful for Keli’s nuanced approach to cultural respect; she goes the extra mile to help us from indigenous backgrounds both maintain and honor our ancestral teachings. A heartfelt thank you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently completed the ‘Understanding Steam’ course offered by Keli, and I’m thoroughly impressed! The content was comprehensive and conveyed in an easily digestible manner. Keli’s expertise and teaching method made complex topics feel approachable. This course is a must for anyone looking to gain a deep understanding of steam systems. Highly recommended!

Great course as a student of anthropology turned Acupuncturist and steam therapist I feel like Keli did a wonderful job explaining TCM concepts and giving us an overview of the common thread of practices found in folk gynecology.

Great course!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Keli presents the information in a way that makes it easy to follow and understand. There is a wonderful guest interview that completely blew my mind away. There is so much wealth in this information.

Amazing course I love the way Raquel shared the female pelvic Anatomy. Well done.

I enjoyed this course so much. It was simple but so informative. It definitely dives into he various aspects of steaming and how it actually works

Easy to follow along, Really opened more understanding on periods and understanding length and spotting. Have a lot of good ideas of how to moderate for your every day life and how important saying no to things during our womb cleanse is. A really great resource!

This is such a valuable class. The business aspect is often overlooked in trainings and this class offers so much information and insight from someone who has been doing it a long time. Thank you for all the tips!

Excellent programme which I wish I had done before and during having my own children, would have made to process sooo much more easier! Thanks Kelly for sharing such profound knowledge that I can share with others…x

Love the elements of TCM

The course was amazing. Each chapter had so much knowledge and an easy way of delivery that it made the whole experience very enjoyable. Keli’s lectures felt like it was a friend talking to me and I felt at ease the whole time. The course was really set up for the success of its students and Keli shared with us the Herb reference excel sheet (that type of info takes years to acquire ) and the intake form (this form makes life much easier for practitioners and making one from scratch would have been difficult). Thank you Steamy Chick Institute for an amazing course. Looking forward to enroll for the Level 2.

Enrollment Q&A
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 = $1,067 plus Level 2 = $3,880 = $4,947 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
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.”
