Steam Story:
I first tried steaming in 2007 when a good friend began training in the Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Massage. However, the information she could offer to my questions seemed scant and I remember wanting to know so much more about what herbs to use, when it was best to do steams, and more.
Years later, near the end of pregnancy, I was listening to a podcast on the 4th Trimester Steam Study and it seemed as if there was now enough knowledge readily available for all of my questions from years back. I tried the protocol myself after giving birth and it was hands down the best part of my postpartum recovery plan! Once things settled a bit, I learned of the Acupuncturist Steam Therapist Certification and found that there was actually far more information and history available on the art of steaming than I ever could have imagined!
As a specialist in women’s health, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum, there are no shortage of opportunities to educate my own patients on the benefits of steams. I especially love combining steam protocols with my training in Chinese herbal medicine, and in those patients preparing to undergo fertility treatments such as IUI and IVF. With a properly trained provider, steaming is not only safe but also incredibly beneficial!
