This is The heART of Ritual Womb Throne™, created for your vaginal steaming pleasures!

 

To celebrate this season, the first ten orders will receive a free gift of this season's speciality herbal vaginal steaming blend in a beautiful hand crafted EU made natural linen drawstring, and a mini ritual fumigation bundle (aka smudge stick) made with the species of native Mugwort that grow here. The steam blend is a water offering representing the lunar/feminine, dark aspect, the fumigation bundle represents the solar/masculine/light aspect, both together ensure a complete ritual honouring the whole.

 

It’s been a long gestation to birth this very vital offering into BEing, eight years actually, and as this is very big news for me personally, I want to share this wild womb adventure with you…

 

As a professional therapist and women's health advocate, womb health has always been a very big part of my work, however it has also been a huge part of my personal journey of physically, mentally, and energetically healing, and reclaiming the cauldron that is my womb. Not just the womb within me, but the energetic womb, the collective womb, the planetary womb, and cosmic womb too, as well as womb work on matriarchal bloodlines.

 

My specialist knowledge of wild native medicinal herbs for the womb, and the self care practice and ritual of vaginal steaming played a key role in this, as have my first hand experiences as a woman that is genetically high risk for cancer, with menstrual issues, cysts, fibroids, miscarriage, intergenerational trauma, violent relationships earlier in life, sexual trauma, what I call ‘the Smother wound’ (survivors of toxic mothers/mother figures), and more.

 

For me, regular steaming is a place of thresholds and doors, a sacred space dedicated to the portal of the womb, and a deep honouring of Self, of our lineage, and of the miracle of life that has been, is, and will come.

 

Let me tell you a little about the Womb Throne™ design and why it is so revolutionary…

 

Before making my own very first prototype (here in my own workspace) I did a lot of research into female pelvic anatomy, the height, weight, leg length and pelvic width of females, and optimal sitting positions for steaming. I even researched historical designs (and heights) of toilets from around the world! I examined the ideal height off the floor and angle of the knee, and as someone with chronic lower back pain, it was important to me that the seated position also supported good posture and was comfortable for long periods of time without the need for a cushion. This greatly informed the height and width of the Womb Throne™, however there were a few practical things to consider too - I wanted it to be mobile, meaning it needed to flat pack for convenient storage, and fit inside the standard luggage dimensions for airline cabin baggage for those who might like to take it with them on holidays! Yes, the Womb Throne travels lightly, and well!

 

Then came the weight considerations, something that became very important to me when I had a health setback that caused me to lose strength and mobility in my arms and hands. I could barely lift a cup, and lifting the flat packed Womb Throne™ onto a shelf for storage at home, nevermind into an overhead luggage compartment on a plane, was a challenge. I needed to make the Womb Throne™ as light as possible, without compromising the structural integrity in any way, and just to keep myself on my toes, I needed to still hold up to 100kgs in weight on top (just in case our men friends would like to use it too!). This informed the choice of wood it would be made from, and several more prototypes were made, tested, and weighed until I achieved this goal.

 

So you see, it’s been a long adventure getting this to you, and I really am delighted, excited (and dare I say proud) to launch this incredible offering! As I mentioned earlier, vaginal steaming is not new, it is an ancient healing practice and ritual. What *is* new, it the revolutionary design of this Womb Throne™ and the extraordinary level of attention to detail.

 

The Womb Throne™ design is informed by sustainability, practicality, comfort, and of course, consistency. The Womb Throne™ is triangular in shape, a nod to the alchemical symbol for the element of water. Its unique shape makes it more comfortable to sit upon, and the engineering and anatomical research that went into its design ensures correct pelvic posture, back support, knee support, and a dynamic steaming experience.

 

The Womb Throne™ comes flat packed for easy transport and storage, it can be put together/taken apart in less than a minute without any tools, weighs just 3 kilos, and comes in a certified organic carry bag made from unbleached EU grown cotton!

 

The Womb Throne™ is expertly handcrafted within 15 minutes of my home, from local sustainably sourced wood, and built to last. The Womb Throne™ is sealed with a high grade German engineered natural waterproof finish made from EU sourced ingredients. This finish, which is both FSC and PEFC certified, is made from raw materials of sunflower, linseed, soybean and thistle oils as well as waxes, and was developed as a non toxic environmentally friendly, sustainable, animal friendly, plant friendly, natural, and safe finish for wooden childrens toys! I’m sharing this as it should matter to you, and goes to show the level of detail in ensuring your Womb Throne™ experience is honoured fully in every way.

 

The Womb Throne™ is one of a kind, there is nothing like it out there. It is a naturally beautiful, technically perfect, and brilliantly practical offering designed by a woman, for women, based on decades of personal and professional work, as well as numerous womb adventures. Vaginal steaming is both a self care practice and ritual that I truly believe humans of all ages should be doing regularly at home, and my hope with the Womb Throne™ is that this makes it more accessible and affordable to do so now!

 

Our Vaginal Steam Blends can be seen here.

Womb Throne™ (Sustainably Handcrafted Vaginal Steaming Seat)

€265.00Price
Tax Included
  • Ten years ago I was in such a deep part of this personal womb journey that it was clear that I needed to commit to it by purchasing a dedicated steaming seat on which I could both fully integrate the process and ritually mark the experience. Prior to that I had been squatting over a bowl, like many do, but this was really uncomfortable for my body and the discomfort made it very challenging to get into a deep meditative state. I didn’t feel that I honoured the (temple of the) body in the way it needed to either, as comfort, ease and grace was missing. A good friend had purchased a box shaped steaming unit (for around USD450) that she let me borrow, and apart from it being heavy and very cumbersome to move around, store and transport, as someone with hypersensitive skin, the direct contact with the finishing varnish on that box caused an allergic rash that blistered and took weeks to clear. 

     

    I started looking for a suitable steam seat to purchase for myself, and came up blank. Here’s what I found:

     

    Most were wildly expensive and sold by US businesses (but unethically and cheaply mass produced in China), others were expensive and absolutely impractical as they were heavy, couldn’t be taken apart and flat packed (therefore bulky and needing a lot of storage space), and most weren’t really mobile, making it impossible for me to use it in the way I wanted which was to take it with me out on the land and steam next to the waterfall or in the woods behind our home! Pretty much all of them were bad design, having holes cut out for electrical hot plates to be inserted through (on which a pot of water would simmer), holes cut out as handles (or in many cases no walls at all!), and large and/or unnecessarily awkward shaped holes cut out for the steam to rise through at the top. I really did not like the idea of the electrical circuit under me while I steam and I don’t want to be limited to having to steam indoors near an electrical socket in a wall anyway, but the fact that these designs didn’t take heat and steam loss into account just showed me how badly thought through they were and how much they missed the mark. And I am not even going to get started on the plastic ones that insert over the toilet seat as those were a non starter for me. 

     

    The more I researched, the more annoyed I became, because it was clear that the products that were on the marketplace were merely looking to ‘get in’ on the rising mainstream popularity of vaginal steaming and make fast bucks with poorly designed, badly made, low cost high return ‘products’. Most were selling an image, hot air sold via professionally taken photographs of staged steaming of boho women laughing while posing as steaming, you know, the ones the ‘wellness industry’ tell us that ‘woke’, body conscious and spiritual women look like. At that point, I stopped looking as it was ridiculously offensive, neglected women’s needs, failed to include considerations to local economy, sustainability, ethics, and excluded a large amount of the actual female population.

     

    At this point I did what I have done with everything else I’ve done in this life so far - I rolled up my sleeves - if I am unable to find what it is I need, then I make it. And that’s what I did. I designed and made the very first Womb Throne™ in my garage, from wood I had left over from fence repairs, with the hand tools I had around. I took it on a few road trips, tested it repeatedly, tweaked it, and when I was completely happy with it, I patented the design, trademarked the name, and bought the website domain (extensive plagiarism of my work over the years has taught me to suit up better these days you see!). 

     

    The Womb Throne™ has come a long way in those ten years, and grown into an incredible and regal creature in that time. This time allowed it to get where it is today, and I am very proud of it! It is a womb song fit for a queen, from me to you…
