Why vaginal/pelvic steaming and postpartum support?
And why InnerGlow?
Even though it has been 19 years, I still remember those times so vividly… My daughter had just been born and here I was with the most beautiful baby I could have imagined. Yet, I felt sad, alone, scared, and insecure.
“Is this normal? Why doesn’t she sleep? Will I even get a bath or shower? Is there anything for me to eat that is actually nourishing and sustaining for myself and my baby? Will I ever feel like MYSELF again?”
I was overwhelmed, unsure of just about everything I was doing, and felt more alone than I ever thought possible. Even with extended family nearby, the support I received was minimal. And my connection with my changing body after this difficult time? Um, WHAT CONNECTION?!
Back then, I knew nothing of the importance of solid support after my baby was born or how to begin to process the birth that just occurred. Back then, I knew nothing of the significance of true self care.
By the time I had my second child, 15 years later, my self-care journey was already in full swing, but I had no idea how much better it could actually be. It was through my postpartum doula training and work as BabyGlow Doula, however, that I learned about the traditional practice of vaginal/yoni/pelvic steaming and the profound effect it can have on healing, support, and overall connection. Once I had my first steaming experience, I knew I had to learn how to share this with others.
So why me?
Because I am YOU. I have been there. I’ve been at the bottom, feeling those new mother feelings, not realizing that I had just undergone a miraculous transformation into this mother goddess, full of strength and intuition. Even before ever having my children, I experienced lack of connection with my body and my spirit, not truly understanding how WORTHY I was to feel love and connection with my own self. I’m here to remind you of that. My unbiased support and loving care is the true service you get from working with me. I am ready to show you how to truly embrace this connection with the most radical act of self-care.
But who am I?
First and foremost, I’m a mother. I have a wonderful adult daughter – AND an amazing preschool-aged son. I’m a lifelong Pacific Northwest Olympian, married to the first boy that kissed me at age 5 (if you & I ever meet for coffee, THAT is seriously the best story ever). I’m a once homesteader, who has left the world of goats, pigs, and cows aside – and now resides with a very typical dog, cat, and a modest five chickens. And when it comes to natural living? THAT is my jam.
My journey of natural living started over ten years ago when I caught the homesteading bug. With a strong desire to live a more natural lifestyle, I jumped headfirst into starting a small family farm, raising our own food, and living a life more conscious of what I was putting in – and on – the bodies of my family.
Finally, I’ve been a registered nurse for over 16 years, with experience in multiple specialties. My love of serving and educating others, coupled with my strong desire to teach them how to support this sacred journey is what truly led me to become a certified vaginal steam facilitator and postpartum doula.
Why InnerGlow Vaginal Steaming?
You know that feeling of euphoria that overcomes you during certain times in your life?
Perhaps it was during your pregnancy, when you were alive with the light inside you, radiating it out to the world.
Maybe it was with the birth of your baby, when you crossed that threshold into mother goddess, the radiating glow has reached it’s peak.
Or perhaps it is the rush you get when joy and excitement collide, bringing you to the best state of bliss.
THAT is what inspired me to create InnerGlow Vaginal Steaming – because that is how I describe the way I feel when I am truly most lovingly connected with myself.
