Benefits

Women throughout history have know Yoni Steaming to:
  • Open the pores of the vaginal tissue to bring in fresh, oxygenated blood to nourish, tone, heal the uterus, ligaments and ovaries.
  • Relax vaginal / uterine tissue, while encouraging the womb into an open and more upright position, thus treating uterine weakness and prolapse
  • Physically dislodge accumulated, old fibrous endometrial lining remaining from previous menstrual cycles
  • Decrease excessive menstrual flow and reduce dark purple or brown blood at the onset or end of menses
  • Significantly reduce PMS, menstrual discomfort (bloating, painful cramping) and exhaustion associated with monthly cycles
  • Regulate menstrual irregularities and absent cycles
  • Relieve endometriosis, pelvic inflammation/trauma, ovarian cysts, and fibroids
  • Balance hormones and increase chance of fertility
  • Decrease internal and external swelling following childbirth, assist in the healing of postpartum tears and assist the womb to shed old endometrial lining and blood
  • Physical, emotional and energetic healing support after miscarriage
  • Balance bacteria to treat vaginal/yeast infections and excessive vaginal discharge, as well as maintain a healthy odour
  • Relieve haemorrhoids and constipation associated with menses cycle
  • Support menopausal changes and relieve symptoms, i.e. hot flashes, vaginal dryness

What Happens?

  1. Shantell Shakti begins with a consultation to talk about the condition you wish to address, and from a holistic perspective selects the herbal plant medicine best suited to your physical and psychological symptoms.
  2. Once the herbs are selected, Shantell guides you through a “blessing ritual” to set your “intentions/ positive affirmations” for your Yoni steam.
  3. While the herbs are brewing, you undress from the waist down and wrap a towel around you for warmth, comfort and modesty.
  4. When the pot of herbs are ready inside our special Yoni Steam Throne, you’ll be guided on how to sit over the steamy vapours safely and effectively.
  5. Once you’re settled, Shantell may guide you through a meditation, connecting you to your vagina and womb, assisting and enhancing your release, healing and nurturing experience. You can also use vocal toning (sound healing) to assist the process of connection, releasing tension and bringing in good vibes.
  6. After about 20 minutes it’s time to lie on the infrared Biomat (at To Wonderland only) for the remainder of your session, to rest and stay warm after your Yoni Steam.
  7. While on the Biomat, or massage table, you may have an extended session to receive a Maya Abdominal Massage and/or a Polarity Therapy Balance to further assist your feminine healing experience.
  8. If you are having a group experience for 2 or more people, Shantell guides you how to give yourself a Maya Abdominal Massage so you can continue this treatment at home.

Aftercare

During and after your steam you might feel tired or emotional. It’s important to give yourself time to rest and stay warm after your V-Steam.

Drink plenty of water! Good hydration supports the healing process.

Various changes are possible after your V-Steam. You may have:
  • Healing emotional releases to blissful relaxation.
  • Physical changes in vaginal discharge, your menstrual cycle, release of dark blood and clots, a lighter cycle and increased awareness of your feminine body.
  • A more subtler and slower change as well
  • More confidence and desire to create clear "boundaries' with people.
  • Feeling of increased arousal and desire.
  • Unhealthy relationships and life choices dissolving.
All are normal cleansing reactions and a good sign that your womb and psyche is cleansing.

Contact Shantell with any questions or concerns arising post Yoni Steam.


"I highly recommend having at least 3 - 5 Yoni Steam treatments with a qualified practitioner before having them at home on your own, or with friends. This way, you can receive the fullest of care and support while "changes to your physical health, relationship and life choices take place" Shantell Shakti

IMPORTANT: When Not to Yoni Steam
During a period, active vaginal or urinary infection, open wounds, sores, blisters, pregnancy, genital piercing and IUD’s.
