Any age after starting menstruation. 

If you want to lessen your PMS symptoms and have an easy flow, steaming a few days prior to your bleed is the best. If you are trying to conceive, steaming around ovulation will make the uterus warm making the environment more conducive to conception. Steaming toward the end of bleeding would help with cleansing effect. And really it is good to steam anytime to promote the circulation and balance the endocrine system!

There is no set frequency, but if you have a female related health issue such as hormonal imbalance, severe cramps during the menstruation, or infertility, we recommend getting a steam weekly basis. If you are interested in deeply nourishing self-care, bi-weekl or monthly is recommended. 

We welcome anyBODY who is interested in receiving the steam. It is intended as a vaginal steaming, so with male reproductive organs, you must wear cotton underwear (please bring your own) and we focus more on the rear part so that your sensitive parts won’t get too heated.

We don’t recommend steaming during the heavy flow of your cycle, but it is good to steam towards the end of the cycle to cleanse the system. Please kindly inform us before your appointment if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. 24 hrs notice will be appreciated. 

I sometimes describe the steaming like an individualized herbal sauna, but the biggest difference is that the temperature can be adjusted to your preference very easily. Also you can breathe normally as only your body from the neck below is covered by the steam gawn retaining the heat and herbal steam. So you can get a similar benefit to sauna with the added benefits of herbal remedies and the just right temperature to comfortably immerse yourself! 

We accept cash, credit cards, or Venmo. The payment will be processed after the treatment.

We accept a cancellation up to 24 hrs before your appointment time. After that, 50% payment is required. If your menstrual cycle starts right before the appointment or unexpected life event occurs, and you need to reschedule your appointment on the day of, please inform us as soon as possible. No show without a prior notification will result in 100% payment.

Please reach out to Fukiko via contact! We strive to make the steam available to wider community as much as possible, and offer community discounts if you are in need. No need of proof of income, just talk to us!

Yes, it is not well known in the United States yet, but it is very popular as a women's selfcare method and widely practiced in Japan and South Korea. In Japan, it is called ‘Mugwort steaming” as mugwort is usually the main ingredient of the steam. At Poca Poca, we use locally harvested medicinal plants as much as possible to incorporate into the steam.

Yes! We are open to discussing the possibility for sure! Please contact Fukiko via contact so that we can have more conversations.
