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.
