Red Tent Healing Arts

Sitting with Lakshmi at the Crystal Castle 🪷✨ Goddess of abundance, beauty, and prosperity, found her in the middle of the rainforest, glowing in the Australian light. After a week of deep womb work with my sisters, this felt like the perfect way to close the circle. 🙏🏽

Respect the pH.

If you've followed my work for any length of time, you've probably heard me say this before.

A healthy va**nal ecosystem begins with a healthy pH.

During the reproductive years, a healthy va**nal pH is typically between 3.8–4.5. For this infusion, I'm aiming for approximately 4.3—and yes, I'm testing every step on camera.

Why?

Because that naturally acidic environment helps nourish beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria, which then creates lactic acid, lowering ph and is your body's first line of defense, while making the environment far less welcoming for many unwanted organisms.

Before we focus on eliminating every "bad" microbe, we need to ask a better question:

How do we create an environment where the good bacteria thrive?

For me, that starts with respecting the ecosystem.

The Vagician's first rule: Respect the pH. 🧙‍♀️🌿

This time I’m combining a strong green tea infusion with aloe and green tea hydrosol.

So what exactly is a hydrosol? It’s the aromatic plant water created during distillation, carrying some of the plant’s water-soluble and volatile constituents in a much gentler form than an essential oil.

But here’s the bigger lesson…

One of the most foundational pieces of va**nal health is pH.

A healthy va**nal environment during the reproductive years is naturally acidic—generally around 3.8–4.5. For this preparation, I’m aiming for approximately 4.3

Why does that matter?

That acidic environment helps support the beneficial bacteria that make up the va**nal microbiome while making the environment less hospitable to many unwanted organisms.

Before we start throwing things at va**nal symptoms, we need to understand the ecosystem we’re working with.

The Vagician’s first rule: respect the pH. 🌿🧙‍♀️

And yes… I’ll show you exactly what I’m mixing.

For more than a decade, this lineage-based bodywork training has been largely absent from Australia.

This August 16–21, I'm deeply honored to return and share the Maya Abdominal Therapy lineage on the Tweed Coast for the first time since around 2015.

This is not a trend or a technique learned over a weekend. It is a body of hands-on wisdom that has been preserved through teachers, mentors, and tradition and then refined through nearly 40 years of my own clinical practice supporting women's health.

If you're a massage therapist, midwife, naturopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist, pelvic health practitioner, or another licensed professional ready to add a truly transformative modality to your practice, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

The circle is nearly full, and one place remains.

If you've been feeling the nudge, trust it.

DM me and well see if we're a fit and I'll send you the details. More info in links in bio.

She'd tried a lot to feel better, various treatments and approaches over time, a progesterone IUD, 90 days of bioidentical progesterone. Some relief, but the bloating and back pain stayed.
One Maya Abdominal Therapy session later, her back pain was gone.
Nobody had looked at her retroverted uterus. They said it wasn't related.
If you're dealing with any odd or unexplained gynecological complaints, bloating, cycle issues, pelvic pain, anything that's been called "normal" but doesn't feel normal to you — book a session with me. You'd be amazed what hands-on treatment can do.

What inspired me to feed my va**na green tea? And even before the short case study here green tea has been studied for its amazing microbiome enhancing qualities which is another reason to feed your va**na green tea. Green tea contains food so to speak needed for lactobacillus to thrive.
