Poca Poca – Whole-body Herbal Steam- is a type of vaginal steaming that is meant for your whole body. It provides profoundly relaxing heat therapy and at the same time delivers the benefits of medicinal plants in the most efficient way possible. Poca Poca combines the traditional healing method from Japan with the local medicinal herbs of the Hudson Valley, NY to maximize the effectiveness of the herbal steaming. This meditative practice offers an array of health benefits for women at all stages of their lives.

Fukiko is an herbalist born and raised in the Japanese countryside, now based in the Catskill region nestled within pristine nature. Ever since she arrived in this region in 2018, she has been learning about medicinal properties of various plants through the Hudson Valley herbal community and earning her herbalist certification from Ecoversity.

After studying and earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Environmental Science in the United States and living abroad in Nepal for 4 years, Fukiko discovered her true passion in educating and working with other women to help heal from women’s physical and emotional issues that are often ignored, and preventing them from being the best and healthiest versions of themselves.

Utilizing wildcrafted and organically grown medicinal herbs combined with ancestral Japanese herbal steam practice, she supports women’s health and spiritual nourishment that can be accessible to all women as part of their self-care routine.

When she is not offering herbal steam service to clients, you can find her harvesting in nature, spending quality time with her family and friends, and being engaged in community activities.
