    This class is very informational

  2. Tanya Woods (verified owner) –

    This course does a great job addressing a broad spectrum of topics including how to offer vaginal steaming respectfully in your community. A mindfulness has been infused in this course so that communication through diverse cultures can be spoken.

  3. Marie –

    My opinion and a fact her courses are very detailed on the important information she keeps you on the edge of your seat eager to learn more.

  4. Beth –

    Thank you for including these very important conversations and information. You really enrich the community in so many ways by highlighting how colonialism has stolen and sterilized healing practices and ways to remedy and dismantle several generations of false narratives. My own practice has changed and evolved as a result of these classes. Thank you so much!

  5. Tuesday –

    I’m so glad this class has been included, it is a wonderful guide and has been very thought provoking. it will be the start of many conversations.

  6. Renee –

    The information here goes beyond steaming. I spent way more time here than anticipated and plan to continue coming back to this lesson as the information sinks in and incorporates itself through my life.

  7. Mika –

    This is such important information, especially for experiential practitioners of healing arts.

  8. Rae-Ven –

    Just as important as the herbal formula courses. This one ask you to truly sit and go back, reflect and respect the practice. Great addition!

  9. Celia Lalasoa –

    Very interesting to reflect on our path as a steam practitioner : our motivation, our prejudices, our vision and our way to work with steam

  10. Solange –

    Enlightening! Eye-opener! This class helps vaginal steam practitioners develop an appreciation for folk and cultural practices and ways we can acknowledge it.

  11. Nadia –

    Great resources including so many great video references to other herbalists, teachers, practitioners. I learned a lot to go deeper into cultural appreciation. And the conversation on cultural appropriation was so important — great ways to reflect on what i’m doing, the responsibility i have when i learn information, and how to be a part of a community instead of exploiting or colonizing the learning. Thanks!

  12. Victoria (verified owner) –

    I found this section hard, its very deep, thought provoking and not something I would have thought about, thank you for adding it in

  13. Selena Green (verified owner) –

    This course was invaluable. Keli touched on so many important points of cultural appropriation. This information needs to be heard and understood. The Ted Talks and book referrals helped a lot. It is time for women to take back control of their bodies! Thank you for including this topic in your training!!

  14. Nikole Green (verified owner) –

    it was the birds for me….lol best video ever!

  15. Alicia –

    Always good to know the cultural history and the storyline up to this point so that what we are doing, we are doing so respectfully. So good to see more perspectives and keeping us well informed!

  16. Josephine Ann Kaka (verified owner) –

    Very valuable knowledge in preparation for the journey ahead. Thank you

  17. Onika –

    Again, this was well thought out, enlightening and so so so needed to preserve the dignity and wisdom of many cultural practices and the groups that created them. This helps to prevent and fight back against cultural appropriation.

  26. Hadiyyah (verified owner) –

    I am so happy that this cultural appropriation was discussed so thoroughly in this course. This has helped prepare my mindset moving forward especially as I consider myself a 3rd cultured child.

  27. Sanjukta –

    Such a fascinating and eye opening course. I’ve learnt so much about cultural appropriation (I knew nothing before), and am just blown away. It’s definitely made me more aware of this topic, and what things I can and cannot do to ensure I’m not disrespecting anyone. It’s never my intention to do so but this subject has really opened my eyes more.

  28. Lauren Braswell (verified owner) –

    thank you so much for the information on cultural appropriation. Very insightful.

  29. Sharlene Piverger (verified owner) –

    I appreciated the care put into this particular course. I especially enjoyed gaining more context around vaginal steaming around the world and hearing different perspectives. As a black person, topics involving racial trauma can be heavy for me so I took my time going through this course compared to others.

  30. Shanta Wilkerson (verified owner) –

    This course is very eye-opening even as a black/melanated practitioner! I am still soaking it all in! The content and resources shared are just phenomenal!! I am gaining more and more confidence to steam others with each class! There were some questions posed in the lesson that I will be sitting with as I continue learning to help me create my strategies for business!

  31. Gloria –

    Less pressure to incorporate certain practices into my business by myself. Instead, this course has helped me understand that the best way to support certain cultures and traditions is by partnering or recommending services to those who have knowledge with traditional medicine and folk gynecology practices.

  32. Rhema Cameron (verified owner) –

    Being a traveler and being ambitious about learning indigenous ways of healing it has helped understand how I can better contribute to the places that I visit and learn from through some of the ways of cultural appreciation.

  33. Jasmine –

    A very educational course that tells you all you need to know about how to approach cultural practices and deal with their nuances in a skillful way. Such an informative course!!

  34. Beth –

    This class was beautiful! It was presented thoughtfully, respectfully and invited inspiration in a non colonial manner. What a gift! I have already made some concrete changes and am inspired to share these perspectives in the same respectful and informative manner that Keli shared with us. And I have, of course, promoted steamy chick!

  35. Tekhiyah Joseph (verified owner) –

    Just looking at the outline for this module had me so excited and it surpassed my expectations. I am so impressed with the detail and expanse of knowledge shared, which is so timely, given recent world events with the necessary awareness, humility, appreciation and respect for traditional cultures as opposed to exploitation and appropriation of them. It was really enlightening to learn and appreciate a much wider perspective than we are “normally given”; it’s so important and rarely discussed in this way, yet affects all of us on so many levels… much more how patriarchy, the roots of gynaecology has impacted generations of wombs… Doing this training helps us to reclaiming our full rights & rites to heal our wombs ourselves! Thank you Keli!!!

  36. Leigha –

    More in depth then I was expecting. Very insightful.

  37. Amy Jefferson (verified owner) –

    This is course is an important and relative to the times. It goes over how to respect another’s culture, how to support it with out appropriating and instead appreciating.

  38. Bianca Yañez (verified owner) –

    This course missile has opened my eyes to dive deeper into my cultural lineage Practices.

  39. Sharese Hayes (verified owner) –

    This course has prompted me to do some heavy research on my lineage/ancestors. This section is very important for all practitioners and aspiring practitioners to gain knowledge of the history of folk medicine, and to help keep the tradition alive.

  40. Carlisha Williams (verified owner) –

    This course reminded me of a History class and history is extremely important when gaining an understanding of something you’re not one hundred percent aware of. I learned so much throughout this course and I am grateful for all of the wonderful content provided. The course is very essential and again, has my mind blown in a very good way.

  41. Tesereta (verified owner) –

    This course does well in explaining what cultural appropriation is and learning to value the people of a culture rather than just their practices, things, rituals, etc.

  42. Maria Tele (verified owner) –

    History and Culture Appropriation
    This course was an amazing insight and very thought provoking as well as essential to take in to account not only your business but also your every day life. Thank you Keli for introducing this course. I am very grateful.

  43. Kendra Mollette (verified owner) –

    The cultural appropriation breakdown was greatly appreciated. I believe it is necessary for everyone to understand this concept.

  44. Aqiylah –

    This course validates individual experiences while offering respectful guidelines for cultural practices and practitioners. I am most grateful for the attention to the topics of colonialism, gender prejudice and cultural appropriation, which provides a solid foundation for serious thought, intelligent discussion, and community reinforcement. Thanks for your boldness!

    Vaginal Steaming History and Culture course

    This course helped me to understand many aspects of how the history and culture of vaginal steaming might influence how I move forward as a Vaginal Steam facilitator, especially around the issues of cultural appropriation and racism. Thank you Keli for pointing so clearly to pathways to bridge the gaps between us, in devotion to womb wellness for all.

  46. Amanda (verified owner) –

    Essential knowledge

    So grateful to Keli for this course. It’s packed with resources and essential information and perspective. Feeling more grounded and in alignment with how I practice steaming for myself and offering it to others.

  47. Alexis Smith (verified owner) –

    History and cultures

    This course is very empowering!!! Very.
    You realize for close we really are no matter the culture or location. It really amazing

  48. Lindsay (verified owner) –

    Something All Practitioners Should Learn

    This course was amazing! I think all vaginal steam facilitators should have this knowledge in order to reflect on their own practices, and also to educate clients who have questions. This is a very comprehensive course about globalization, the rise of western medicine and suppression of folk healing practices, as well as cultural appropriation. I am so grateful for this course!

  49. Nadia Fakhoury (verified owner) –

    A Perspective of Appreciation

    I loved learning about the history and culture of vaginal steaming and how different factors have contributed to the endangerment of the practice. Learning more about cultural appropriation vs appreciation was a great lesson that of course applies to more aspects than vaginal steaming,

  50. Adrienne (verified owner) –

    Thought provoking and essential!

    This class is thought provoking and really essential to making sure your business is honoring cultural traditions in a respectful way. It challenges constructs, encourages dynamic conversation and awareness how cultural appropriation can show up in the health and wellness arena.
