Today we’d like to introduce you to Theresa Swan.

Hi Theresa, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

Seven years ago I went for a massage and before the session the practitioner offered me a vaginal (yoni) steam session. There was beautiful smelling aromatic herbs in the water, and the experience was deeply relaxing. But I did not know *why* I was steaming my yoni.

At home and a google session later, I learned there are several potential benefits to this practice found in over 70 countries. I contacted an actual certified practitioner, and she mailed me the correct herbal blend for my body.

I steamed a couple of times, kneeling over the pot on my living room floor. That month I didn’t have cramps!!! I kept up steaming, and the painful cysts I had experienced went away as well!

I knew I had to take the advanced level certification through the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute and share this medicine with the world! As a former trauma therapist and women’s counsellor, I am thrilled to be able to support women in this way now too.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?

Overall, people are curious and open to trying this holistic method of pelvic and menstrual healthcare. But there is a steep road of education, as people are, as I was, unsure why they should steam, as well as why they need to get a consultation first.

I am trained to work with 350 different pelvic and menstrual health issues, from age 12-102. I always let people know if they have anything more going on than mild cramps (like postpartum healing, fibroids, cysts, pain, miscarriage) they always need to get at least one consultation.

There is so much that goes into a session: an 18-page intake form, an in-depth health history, various steam plans, steam herbs, oral herbs, food & lifestyle guidance that it is worth every penny. Each situation is unique and requires a personalized approach.

We’ve been impressed with Luminous Creatrix, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Peristeam Hydrotherapy (Vaginal/Yoni/Pelvic Steaming) is an ancient practice found in over 70 countries, is experiencing a huge revival due to it’s effectiveness with various pelvic and menstrual health concerns.

Peristeam Hydrotherapists (like myself) are the most advanced practitioners in the world and we offer consultations over zoom.

Steaming may be the most effective was to heal cramps, rebalancing the menstrual cycle, work with cysts, fibroids, scar tissue, atrophy, dryness, pain, numbness, postpartum healing, infections and more.

I offer a trauma-informed approach and have many years experience and as a trauma therapist and women’s counsellor, as well as a sexual consent educator. I have participated in women’s circles for many years, and absolutely love to see the benefits I can bring to so many!

After a consultation, steaming can be done from home and I sell 4 organic herbal steam blends worldwide.

What were you like growing up?

I was a book nerd, lol. I loved dance, art and well, books! I have continued to learn throughout my adult life, and believe that life is meant to be a process of continual growth.
