Before we embark on this journey of stories and rituals together, knowing whom you are journeying alongside can be helpful. 

We are a mother (Fiona) and daughter (Leia) who have used rituals to soothe and bring us home to our wombs.  Two women at different ends of the scale, with the red thread weaving us together.

Hello, you! My name is Leia; I’m so delighted we have crossed paths - sharing the same interest in up-levelling our current state of being, undoing some knots, getting to know our body, being in control of our cycles & drug-free solutions & practices to allow the body to come back into alignment gently. There have been many elements to my understanding of the power of our body. Completing my Yoga Teacher Training in 2019, I began to move differently - softer, slower, with more intention and attention to how it felt to move and be in my body specifically and not aiming to shape myself otherwise. Understanding the nervous system has also played a huge role in understanding my inner quirks, the knots I have yet to untie, and those relationships I did not know how to approach. Pleasure - funny something that feels so good can be riddled with so much resistance. Dedicating myself time to feeling joy has smoothed a lot out for me. I make choices that align with my happy place effortlessly when I feel good. Steaming has paved such a rich and deeply intimate relationship with my womb and yoni.
Since 12, when I started to bleed, a seed began to grow - a dislike for my body and an uncomfortable place to be, period pain taking over my life. After 12 years of searching to find the cause, it finally resulted in the diagnosis of Endometriosis with growths on my bowel, stomach, bladder and cervix. Vaginal Steaming helped to soothe, soften and remove fibroids and endometrial tissue. Not only did it help to ease my cramps, but my PMS also improved, and a healthy relationship with my cycle blossomed.
I look forward to sharing more with you, whether words, team Ritual Session, guidance in choosing herbs or connecting via social media. 

I, Fiona, am a mother to four children. After the birth of my twin boys 11 years ago, I did not take the time to recover, either physically or emotionally, from my traumatic birth experience.  In the true sense that the body never lies, it was eight years after their birth that I was thrown into a deep healing journey.  

Throughout this journey, trying to find relief, I was introduced to vaginal steaming.  I was immediately enticed by the soft, warm comfort of the steam entering my womb.  Without being aware of it, having a numb vagina affected my connection to life, relationships, and money; I had become numb to life and my sexual power as a woman. Waking up my vagina with steaming and using the Jade Egg were fundamental to the beginning of my awakening to a more energised way of living.  This is a journey I am still travelling; I am a work in motion.

A certified vaginal steaming practitioner, I am also a keen student of the Daoist principles and hold a daily practice of learning how to balance and move energy; I echo Leia’s words in the undoing of knots that trauma and day-to-day stress are stored in the body.  Instead of using the mind to figure out my knots, I use breathing techniques, movement and reflective journaling, and vaginal steaming.  The Jade Yoni egg is one of the practices I use to harness and harvest energy.  I believe that it is many rituals that bring me relief from the contrast of day-to-day living. Whether that is a well-cooked meal that is a delight to all of my senses, ensuring I take time to journal and meditate, or seeing and looking at stuck negative emotions and giving them the awareness to move out of my organs.  Time carved out from my day-to-day living to bring my attention back home to me.   I use daily rituals and choose to be a deliberate creator as is available to me on that day.  Some days I feel vital and alive, while others, I don’t; it’s me allowing me to find my way home.

We provide down-to-earth, practical, no-nonsense solutions to connect with the power of your menstrual cycle, relief in your time of menopause, assist in reducing uterine fibroids, a safe, warm space to feel into sexual trauma (male or female), painful periods, wanting to conceive, loss of period, bowel and uterine cancers.

Typically, within the “alternate” approach to health care, there can be a “woo woo” approach to systems such as vaginal steaming.  We challenge this approach and teach simple yet highly effective solutions to come into alignment with the way of your cycle.  Whether you have had a total hysterectomy, are healing from surgery, have scar tissue from births or have other procedures you may have endured, there is a way to assist your body into alignment.  All herbs we use are certified organic or wildcrafted chemical free.  Rituals that can help find your rhythm that eases your body into alignment, be in your space, feel calm and be ready for the contrast that is every present for growth in our lives.  It’s easy to have a routine when we feel good.  If we can have these routines running smoothly, even when we think they are not so good, we can revert to our foundation of rhythms.  Knowing that if we get lost for a while, we can use the backbone of rhythm and ritual to dive back into the well of connection.

We wish to share rituals, such as vaginal steaming, using herbs for drinking, and steam in the form of ceremonial bundles and other ceremonies we will share along the way.  We offer information on how and why to steam, along with proper period care and the use of other rituals, to empower us.  

Of course, the steps of the journey are up to you, and how you map out your choices is what makes each of us unique - our power of choice.  We would love to journey together, with you, learning from each other.

With our love,

Fiona & Leia
