Pelvic Root Steaming is a traditional healing method use to cleanse the uterus, help improve fertility, and support overall wellbeing. Referred to as “bajos” in Spanish, yoni steams have been used by Maya healers and midwives for centuries. Korean healers also use this healing modality and refer to is as “chai-yok.”
How do yoni steams work?
Specific herbs are steeped in hot water to create a warm vaginal steam bath. The steam carries the medicinal benefits of the plants, including volatile oils, to the womb and perineum. Once absorbed through the tissues, the healing herbal compounds then enter the bloodstream, having a direct healing benefit on the reproductive system since vaginal tissue is one the most most absorbent in the body.

What does a Yoni Steam session look like?
Yoni steam sessions work not only with the tangible magic of plants constituents, but also more with their energetic womb clearing abilities. Yoni steams are ceremonial by nature and are woven into shamanic womb tending sessions. You will be invited to enter an altered meditative state, where many women receive oracular vision and insights. After getting to know the current themes that are present in your life, Julia will create a personalized blend of herbs (NOT essential oils), which will steep in a pot of water beneath the wooden steam stool. After making sure the temperature feels good, you will be wrapped in a large flannel sheet to fully cocoon yourself as you down and relax to receive the warmth and healing benefits. Steams last anywhere from 10-30 minutes. To support your Journey, Julia guides the session through song and drum.
Is this for me?
Vaginal steams are safe for most individuals. There are a few cases when vaginal steaming is contraindicated. It is not recommended if you are pregnant, currently on your period, or have spontaneous heavy bleeding or 2 periods in one month. Julia will screen for any contraindications before beginning a vaginal steam session with you.
