About us
Meet Melissa
Hello there! My name is Melissa Horlacher, I am a ~nearly~ certified Peristeam Practitioner through the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute with "Steamy Chick" Keli Garza's world class training and education. I have passed all my exams with 100% scores and am doing my last few practical assignments to receive my official certification. If you're interested in a free advanced session, email me about being a volunteer for my last assignment!
I first encountered steaming one year ago when my sister recommended it to me as a postpartum healing method. I had a nine month old baby and was in the throes of deep postpartum depression and suicidal thoughts. Along with therapy with a professional counselor, I tried steaming.
I experienced an immediate mental relief and relaxation that I hadn't been able to achieve in months. I was completely committed.
I did a recommended 30 days of steaming for postpartum healing, and then continued once a week for the next year. In addition, I steamed for three days in a row before each cycle, and for three days in a row after each cycle.
My period cramps lessened with each period until they were gone entirely. My period was less sporadic and eventually became completely predictable and shortened to 4-5 days instead of 7-8. My acne was no longer a reflection of my menstrual cycle. My hair started growing in, intimacy was more comfortable, my prolapse symptoms eased, my discharge regulated, and I am still noticing benefits one year later!
About six months into my journey I knew I had to share this powerful practice. I started talking about it with loved ones, and learning more about it online from Keli Garza. In May 2021 I decided to jump in with both feet and become a practitioner myself to reach more women.
Empowering women through the reemerged ancient practice of Peristeaming is my passion. My entire mission is your womb healing. My goal is to let every single woman know that Peristeam is available as a legitimate and gentle treatment option for everyone!
​
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss the benefits that Peristeam can bring to you and your life!

What is Peristeam?
Peristeaming is the reemerged ancient practice of cleansing and healing the perineum and adjoining organs including the uterus by positioning the perineum over herb-infused steam for 10-30 minutes depending on the needs and constitution of the individual.
