Steam Story:

My great grandmother was a midwife and she mentioned about the use of steam and herbs after labour to my mother. She learned about this with the indigenous tribes in Brazil. My mother is a retired obstetrician and followed the steps of my great-grandmother, she then went to learn with the indigenous tribes in Mato Grosso, Brazil about their herbs and practices during pregnancy and labour, v-fumigation with herbs were among those techniques.

My journey into Naturopathic Medicine, yoga and women’s health and wellbeing has got its seeds in my genes. It was quite a natural process to follow their path too. The stories I heard and the knowledge they have passed me about labour, reproductive system health and caring of the womb were fascinating.

I loved the idea and the power that a woman has, even if she hasn’t borne a child or have her uterus removed, like my Godmother. My Godmother looked after me after my father’s passing, and although she was not able to conceive child, her love and her nurturing was the most pure love I could ever feel, and that lead me to search about this immense love and energy that a woman carries within. The source of this energy is located in her heart and 2 fingers below her umbilicus, what we call the navel point, just where the reproductive system is.

During my journey of learning to be in service to others, I was also healing and discovering about this sacred energy within.

Then I came across Keli Garza and her beautiful work in 2018. Vaginal steaming was essential to connect to my female energy; there is a magic in this ritual: connecting the ancient women wisdom by using herbs and warmth from the steam. There is profound connection and feeling with this sacred female energy when you practice this ritual Vaginal Steaming.

Preparing your herbs, making your v-herbal potion and sitting down in your vaginal steam sauna; allowing yourself to receive the nurturing heat, be bathed by the fragrance of the herbs and receive healing from all this.

The heat, the smell of herbs, the steam…it is all nourishing…it somehow brings me to that ancestral connection of women gathering together..there is a powerful healing when I do my Vsteam.

I think V steaming and menstrual cycle awareness is an essential part of women’s health and wellbeing. Of course, not all women can do it, there are some contraindications, but I have held women’s cycle where we did V steaming and those who ere not able to do it, were able to be part of this healing energy.

I always like to share this nice story with my patients and friends about the power of Vsteam. In 2018 after my training with Keli I went to Brazil to visit my mother and my godmother. My husband made a portable Yoni sauna, and then I had the most magical moment: I gave a Vsteam session to my mother (age 75 at that time) and my Godmother (age 83 at that time). It was the most beautiful experience I could witness. Their eyes were blessed with so much light, we were able to feel the magical ritual of herbs, steam/heat, love and ancestral women’s gathering…we shared so many stories, laughter and love…

Thank you Keli for allowing us to keep on bringing this healing to all women!
