There’s nothing wrong with some self-care — getting a massage, doing a face mask, or taking a bubble bath. In fact, sis, I suggest we do it all! But true self-care for Black women should start with the core of our being — the womb.
Here are five sacred self-care practices you should start adding to your life:
1. Benefits of Womb Massage
Massaging your womb is essential for womb healing and emotional connection. It’s simple: Take a few drops of your favorite yoni oil, like our Deep Abyss Sacred Yoni Oil, and gently massage it over your womb area. Do it in the morning before starting your day or at night before bed.
It’s not just about moisturizing your skin — it’s about nourishing your spirit.
2. Longer Showers
Don’t start talking about the water bill, sis! 😂 A nice long, hot shower can be a powerful form of sacred self-care rituals. In the shower, you can release so much:
- Wash off the day
- Cleanse your body and spirit
- Reset your energy
Breathe deeply. Lather yourself up with natural, hormone-balancing soaps. Rinse off the weight of the day… or even the energy of people you no longer need to carry.
3. Why Yoni Steaming Matters
You knew I was going to bring this up. ✨ Yoni steaming is one of the most powerful practices for womb wellness and emotional release. It can take 30 minutes to an hour and a half — but trust me, it’s worth every second.
When I was postpartum, exhausted, and doubting myself as a new mom, yoni steaming saved me. I remember sitting over my steam throne, pumping milk, crying, and feeling like I was failing. But the steam… the warmth… the sacred herbs… It reminded me: You are strong. You are healing. You are enough.
Yoni steaming helps you heal in every phase of life — whether it’s after pregnancy, after loss, or simply after a hard season.
You can start your journey with our Yoni Steam Kit, crafted to support your sacred body.
4. Sage and Energy Cleansing
When life feels chaotic, sometimes it’s not just stress — it’s energy that needs to move. Open your windows. Burn sage (if you vibe with it) or simply speak to the energy around you. You don’t even need tools.
Your words are powerful. Command anything heavy, stagnant, or negative to leave your space. Invite peace back in.
5. Praying and Meditating
I close out with prayer because that’s my foundation. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus Christ — and prayer is my lifeline. 🙏🏽 You don’t have to pray like me. Whatever you believe — know you are deeply supported (And if you don’t believe in anything? No judgment here, boo. 💖)
My day starts at 5AM, whether I like it or not. When you live with epilepsy, sometimes your body wakes you early. But in those quiet early hours, I pray. I journal. I meditate. No phone. No noise. Just me, my breath, and God. It’s how I listen. It’s how I heal. It’s how I remember who I am.
🌸 Closing Words
Sis, you deserve sacred, intentional care — because you are sacred. Self-care has to be more than naps and surface moments. It has to nourish your womb, your spirit, and your entire being.
✨ Start with one practice.
✨ Release what no longer serves you.
✨ Choose you — over and over again.
