In-home session. Detailed overview & discussion regarding imbalances as outlined in the menstrual cycle analysis intake form. I ask clarifying questions and we try to find patterns. We go over doable recommendations and I invite you to track changes over the next few cycles. I bring all my equipment and set up your first steam session, using an herbal blend customized to your unique needs. You may purchase your blend (link to purchase hers) to continue with your steam plan. Follow up meetings are available for those interested in working with me over a few cycles.

For mothers in the Chicago metropolitan area who have recently given birth or who are due in the coming weeks and who want to make steam therapy a part of their postpartum care. It is ideal to begin this steam plan within the first few days following birth, but you can also start later as well. If you've had a C-section, postpartum steaming can begin 6 weeks after birth. This package includes one home visit and delivery of steaming supplies. I am able to travel up to 15 miles from Westmont, IL. If you live outside of this radius and want home visits and delivery of supplies, please contact me for options.
This is a 30-day plan that includes:
- An in-home postpartum consultation and steam protocol
- A 30-day supply of peristeam herbs
- Option to add on a steam kit rental, which includes the steam stool, pot, hot plate, and skirt
- A steam session setup in your home
- Weekly check-ins (by phone, text, or e-mail)
- An in-home final assessment and new steam plan at the end of the month
It is ideal for a family member or support person to be present at our consultation to learn how to set up the steam session for you. At booking, please schedule a consultation date/time about 2 weeks before your due date. If you are already postpartum, schedule as soon as possible.

Two Part Therapy
One:
Cradled passive movement
The mother is laid down on top of a number of rebozo scarves. One at a time the practitioner cradles each body part and uses different techniques to shift, rock, and sway according to the movements in that part. The predictable therapeutic movements allow a feeling of deep relaxation.
Two:
Closing of the Bones
The mother is again laid down on top of a number of rebozo scarves. Each rebozo in turn is tightened across the body to a comfortable level and tied. This runs along the body giving it a grounding sensation. The whole body is left in a comfortable, bundled state for a few moments.
