The adjustments are very gentle and 100% safe for the baby and mother.

Yoni Steaming
Natasha Foreman
300 E. Grace St. | 804-592-0747 | LucidLivingRVA.com
For your Yoni Steaming session, we’ll perform a thorough intake so we can customize your herbs to your womb story. Yoni Steaming can provide toning, strengthening and reconnection. On a clinical level, it can provide healing typically addressed by traditional gynecological visits. Postpartum Yoni Steaming can expedite healing and result in a full recovery. Specifically, lochia drains after the first four-to-six steam sessions, the uterus shrinks back to size after one week, and after one month, the canal is tightly closed. Yoni Steaming has also shown to resolve complications like hemorrhoids, contractions, infections, painful stitches, constipation, incontinence, prolapse and water retention.
