Yoni & Pelvic Steaming Info
We’re honored you’ve chosen Guided Flame Spa to support your wellness journey. Our intention is to offer a calm, peaceful space where traditional practices can be experienced with care. Please review the information below so you feel fully informed before your Yoni/Pelvic steaming session.
Note: Yoni/Pelvic steaming is a wellness practice and is not a medical treatment. It should not replace care from your licensed healthcare provider. If you have medical concerns, please consult your clinician before booking.
What Is Yoni/Pelvic Steaming?
Yoni/Pelvic steaming is a seated wellness practice where warm, herb-infused steam is directed toward the external pelvic area. Sessions are designed for comfort and relaxation. Heat and botanicals are selected gently; the steam should feel warm, never hot.
Your Privacy and Comfort
- You are never physically exposed to staff or other clients.
- Services take place in a private room.
- You are draped with towels/robes throughout your session.
- You may stop the session at any time—just say the word.
How a Session Works
1. Arrival and intake: We review your goals, health considerations, and preferences.
2. Setup: You’ll change into a robe and sit on a specially designed steaming seat.
3. Steam: Gentle, warm steam with a special blend of all natural and organic herbs.
4. Monitoring: We check in regularly to ensure comfort and adjust heat or duration as needed.
5. Wrap-up: We review after-care and answer any questions.
Typical session length: 20–40 minutes (shorter for sensitive clients). First-time sessions may be shorter and cooler for safety.
When to Schedule
- Not during menstruation or active bleeding.
- If trying to conceive, schedule in the follicular phase (after your period ends and before ovulation).
- Postpartum: Wait until bleeding has stopped and you have provider clearance (often around 6 weeks).
- After surgery, miscarriage, or abortion: Wait until cleared by your provider.
- After a C‑section: Often 8–12 weeks with provider clearance (skin fully healed).
How Often Should I Steam?
- Occasional relaxation: 1–4 times per month.
- Cycle support: Up to 1 time per week outside of menstruation.
- Sensitive clients or those new to steaming: Start with shorter, cooler sessions less frequently.
Your comfort and response guide frequency. If you experience irritation or increased symptoms, reduce frequency or pause and consult a clinician.
What Might I Feel During/After?
- Gentle warmth, relaxation, light sweating.
- Temporary increase in moisture/discharge.
- Possible light spotting for some—this should be minimal and brief.
Stop the session immediately if you feel dizziness, nausea, sharp pain, burning, or shortness of breath.
Health & Safety Precautions (Please Read)
- Heat safety: Steam must be warm, never hot. Burns can occur with excessive heat.
- Hydration: Drink water before and after your session.
- Skin sensitivity: Avoid same-day shaving/waxing/sugaring to reduce irritation.
- Herbs and allergies: Common herbs may include mugwort, calendula, chamomile, rosemary, and lavender. If you have plant allergies (e.g., ragweed/chamomile sensitivity) or prefer no botanicals, we can customize blend or steam with water only.
- Infection control: Do not steam with any active infection, outbreak, open wound, or unexplained pain.
- Equipment hygiene: Seats are disinfected between clients; liners and towels are fresh each session. All Yoni/ Pelvic pots are deeply disinfected between clients and herbs replaced.
- Personal items: Remove fresh genital piercings; avoid wearing occlusive products that could trap heat.
Immediately tell your practitioner if you feel too warm or unwell at any point.
Contraindications (Do Not Steam If…)
- You are pregnant (any trimester).
- You are menstruating or have active/heavy bleeding.

- You have unexplained pelvic pain or heavy bleeding—seek medical evaluation first.
- You are heat‑sensitive, have reduced heat sensation, or are prone to fainting.

Use caution and consult your provider if you have:

- Pelvic organ prolapse, hemorrhoids, or a history of severe cramps.
- Recent surgery, birth, miscarriage, or abortion (wait for medical clearance).

IUDs, Pregnancy, and TTC

After-Care
- Hydrate well; rest if needed.
- Use breathable underwear and a pad if you notice light moisture or spotting.
- Avoid intercourse, intense workouts, very hot baths, or hot tubs for 24 hours.
