Womb Wisdom with Steamy Chick
We are over the moon to host Keli Garza, owner of Steamy Chick and founder of Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute, to THE FULLEST Podcast. This author and entrepreneur raises awareness about the benefits of vaginal steaming, conducts research, trains practitioners, and makes supplies accessible. If you are familiar with THE FULLEST and our Womb Protector™ pelvic steaming kit, then you already know this episode is brimming with all things vaginal health, traditional gynecology, and a peek into the outside perspective of the mainstream medical model.Keli’s personal lack of satisfaction with allopathic doctors, coupled with a community-wide need for alternative womb care, guided her to the lost art of pelvic steaming. What started as hand-picking herbs and boiling them in a clay pot under her makeshift pelvic steaming stool, ultimately birthed her online institution that offers courses and certifications, a diverse marketplace, and, coming soon in 2024, a feature-length documentary called STEAM.Topics we discuss:
The roots of pelvic steaming, forgotten cultural practices, & how to reclaim them
Trauma from Western medicine
How to tap into ancient & alternative medicine
Traditional birth practices, women’s care, & true gynecology
Physical & emotional benefits of pelvic steaming
Steaming to support UTIs, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, cramps, & postpartum care
Womb care (outside of steaming)
Keli has successfully brought the vaginal steaming conversation to the surface of women's contemporary health. It's time we normalize alternative options and make pelvic steaming accessible for everyone. Tune in for a long overdue conversation about the art of pelvic steaming, ancient midwifery, traditional birth practices, and women's health.Tap into your womb wisdom!
