Your journey to motherhood begins long before conception. Preparing your body with intention creates the optimal environment for fertility, a healthy pregnancy, and a nourished postpartum. 

Pelvic Steaming is deeply rooted in indigenous technology and medicine. Sitting over herbal infused steam or smoke is found all over the globe, particularly as a postpartum healing modality. You can find records of vaginal steaming being practiced in Africa, South America, North America, all across Asia from the Middle East to India to the Pacific Islands. My personal ancestral practice of vaginal steaming comes from the Philippines. 

Preparing for pregnancy starts long before the moment it’s “go time” to make a baby. In fact, the 3–6 months before conception are an ideal window to create a fertile foundation for your body, mind, and spirit. Holistic fertility takes a whole-body approach, focusing on menstrual cycle health, hormone balance, and intentional self-care to support you on this journey. In this article, we’ll dive into three key takeaways from my Womb Alchemy program—a 6-month holistic preconception experience designed to nourish your body, balance menstrual cycle symptoms, and guide you from stress and overwhelm to trusting your inner wisdom. Let’s prepare you for your healthiest, most aligned pregnancy!
