Her mission is to promote healing and balancing within using the ancient self care routine known as herbal steaming. Steaming is a process that cleanses and revitalizes healing within the uterus, vagina or anus using natural herbs. As the founder and owner of Steam Sistahs, Shavona was personally introduced to steaming when she discovered infertility issues. After seeing a fertility doctor who suggested IVF due to hydrosalpinx (blocked fallopian  tubes), they also suggested vagina steaming to prepare the uterus and other reproductive organs for pregnancy. After her first steaming, she left feeling serene, refreshed and restored.
