While I frequently use Yelp for recommendations and tips, I rarely take the time to write a review. But my recent experience at Yoni Steam Honolulu was worthy of my time and effort. I hope that many read this and decide to experience it for themselves. They will NOT be disappointed.
I wanted to celebrate my birthday with girlfriends by doing something "different" that would be relaxing and rejuvenating. A friend suggested Yoni Steam Honolulu. I am so glad she did!
It was an exceptional experience from the moment I emailed Madi. She responded promptly and professionally. I was a little hesitant that my friends and I would enjoy such an intimate experience 'together.' But, Madi made everything feel so effortless. By the time we arrived for our group appointment, we were all extremely excited, almost inspired, to try this ancient practice.
The location is truly a hidden gem. You can't tell from the outside but once you step over the threshold you are transported to a comfortable and tranquil space filled with natural sunlight and the aromas of fresh herbs. Beautifully decorated, it is clean and convenient with lockers, dressing tables, and private changing rooms. Everything about the space seems to welcome you in and encourage you to embrace your femininity.
Madi prepared a special mixture of herbs and crystals for each of us--personalizing the group experience for each lady. This was fantastic because I wanted my guests to feel like it was a shared experience but wanted them to feel special too. Madi showed truly gracious and generous service. We each had a silver bell we could ring when we needed our glasses filled or the temperature of the steam adjusted. Speaking of glasses, the deluxe steam includes refreshments and drinks. I made my own Cha-Coochie boxes for my girlfriends, but Madi supplied the bubbly! Tea and juice were also options, but it was a celebration, so we all splurged on Prosecco.
We also received a Goddess reading. You select a random Goddess card and Madi provides a book with explanation on your Goddess persona. Every card and reading were right on the money. So fascinating and fun! It was all the minute details, like this, that made our time at Yoni Steam Honolulu so exceptional.
All my girlfriends are familiar with a variety of spa experiences. I was thrilled that I was able (with Madi's help) to treat them to such a special pampering. Who needs group pedis and manis when you can steam together?!? Seriously, if you want to spend time with the special ladies in your life THIS is the thing to do with them. Unlike a massage or a pedi or mani, there wasn't anyone else in the room with us. We could chat, laugh, sip, and steam in a very intimate atmosphere. Again, if we needed Madi, she was just a silver bell ring away. It was unlike any spa experience any of us have had or shared.
We had the whole spa to ourselves so that gave us added privacy. I'd HIGHLY suggest getting a group of gals together to do the same. It would also be an excellent experience to share with one or two besties or even an adult niece, daughter, or granddaughter. Forget your average wedding shower, bachelorette outing, or girls' night out. If you want to do something memorable and amazing, do a group steam! It truly is a fabulous way to celebrate womanhood and connect in a special way.
One of my friends said she'd even do it by herself and would probably take a nap while steaming because it's so relaxing! I know I'm adding this treatment to my self-care routine. It's wonderful for your body and your soul! It's a marvelous way to connect with yourself, your sacred pathway, and your creative channels!!
Many thanks to Madi and Yoni Steam Honolulu. Keep up the good work for all the Goddess out there! read more
