WOMB Healing is done with a process called vaginal “yoni” steaming. Vaginal Steaming is an ancient practice that many cultures have used for millennia. Eastern to African women took womb health into their own hands with Vaginal Steaming.
The Flow Shala approach to the Vaginal Steam:
Our approach combines relaxation techniques, breath-work and assisted savasana before the vaginal steam. Each session provides you personal connection with a certified V-Steam practitioner.

The two step clearing process:
Phase 1 -
Somatic Therapy & Relaxation:
We have found that the Pelvic Steam Therapy treatment works best when you are in your most relaxed state.
In a private room, your certified practitioner will help you get into a relaxed state. They will guide you with light touch, essential oils, visualization & breath-work techniques.
Phase 2 -
Pelvic Steam Therapy:
Your Pelvic Steam box will have water gently boiling inside. You will pour your vaginal herbs (see 'steaming herbs' section) into the water through a small hole on the top. Then you will wear a traditional gown, turn the water off of boil, and steam for 25 minutes.
Steam rises through the hole in your Pelvic Steam box and delivers you herbal magic! All materials included in the cost of your session.
The steaming herbs:
We offer 3 blends of Vaginal Steaming herbs made by Steamy Chick Institute.
Your herbal blend options are Cleansing blend, Gentle blend and Disinfecting blend.
While all blends help rebalance the vaginal flora, improve circulation & clearing stagnation, each blend is designed with different herbs to pinpoint certain needs.
Your V-Steam Practitioner will help you choose the right blend for your current needs. Read more about each blend below.
Gentle:
Good for those with shorter menstrual cycles- 27 days or less. The gentle blend helps clear mild stagnation from the uterus. Sometimes has the added benefit of helping lengthen menstrual cycles or helping with spotting.

Testimonials
“I had a very sweet loving experience. I was impressed with the personal attention Summer (specific to me) gave. I felt safe to share my concerns and my desires regarding my feminine health. The actually steam spa time was quiet, peaceful and perfect. Your whole body and being will feel the therapy. Having someone hold time and space for you while you share your personal health concerns and desires is exactly what you need to invoke healing.”
-B.A
“I felt cared for and safe to feel into and share what my intentions were going into the session. Summer’s framework for the yoni steam felt very grounded and I left my sessions feeling greater connected to my intuition. So much tension and trauma can get held in our genitals, a yoni steam at its very base purpose helps relax that entire area.”
-S.L
“This was a special opportunity for me to be supported as I focus my healing awareness and intention to my womb. This is a special opportunity for me to heal a deeply intimate and mysterious part of myself. Summer held a clear and caring space for me to find my internal healing energy.”
