The Sacred Reset
Full Nervous-System Ritual in Your Home
A full nervous system reset : assisted stretch on a professional table, red light therapy, yoni steam, and herbal tea; brought to your home. Available throughout Western KY, Nashville TN, and Chattanooga TN.
What a Sacred Reset Session Includes
Professional Massage Table Assisted Stretch
You lie down. Hay guides your body through a full assisted stretch sequence: hips, lower back, shoulders, neck, fascia release; on a professional-grade portable massage table she brings to you. This is not a workout. It's assisted, passive, and deeply restorative. Your only job is to breathe and let go.
Red Light Therapy
A professional-grade standing red light lamp runs throughout your session. Red light therapy at the wavelengths used in professional devices supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and has emerging evidence for mood and energy regulation. For postpartum bodies — healing tissue, pelvic recovery, general inflammation — it is a meaningful addition to the bodywork.
Yoni Steam With Custom Herbal Blend
A traditional practice rooted in indigenous healing across cultures worldwide. Hay uses a custom WSS herbal blend : rosemary, lavender, calendula, mugwort, red raspberry leaf, motherwort, chamomile, and rose petals; chosen for their individually researched properties and their combined effect on the female body. The steam portion typically runs 20-30 minutes while you relax with your herbal tea.
Closing Nervous System Audio Reset
The session closes with a guided audio practice: breathwork and a body scan while you're still on the table. This is the transition that makes the experience complete rather than abrupt.
Herbal Tea Service
The same WSS custom blend in tea form; brewed and served warm. Just something real and nourishing to enjoy while your body settles.
Why these four things. Together.
There are a lot of ways to relax. A bath. A nap. A glass of wine after the kids are in bed. The Sacred Reset isn't any of those things & it isn't trying to be.
Every element in this session was chosen because of what it does to the nervous system specifically. Assisted stretching releases the physical tension that keeps the body in a low-grade protective state. Red light therapy works at the cellular level to reduce the inflammation and energy depletion that make everything harder. Yoni steaming brings warmth and herbal support to the part of the body that has been through the most and received the least deliberate care. The closing audio practice gives the nervous system time and the opportunity to actually settle into this shifted state before the session ends - so what happened in the room doesn't evaporate the moment you stand up.
Separately, each of these is valuable. Together, they work on the same problem from four different angles: a nervous system that has been in survival mode for longer than it should be, in a body that has given more than it has received, in a mother who has been everything to everyone and almost nothing to herself.
This is not a luxury. This is maintenance for a human being doing one of the hardest jobs there is.
About the Assisted Stretch
What it is:
Assisted stretching is exactly what it sounds like - someone else moves your body through the stretch for you. You lie on the table. Hay positions your limbs, applies gentle pressure, holds the stretch at the right depth and duration, and guides you through breathing that deepens the release. Your only job is to relax.
This is fundamentally different from stretching yourself at home, and the difference is significant. When you stretch yourself, your muscles tend to contract to create and control the movement. That contraction limits how deeply the stretch can go and keeps your nervous system in a low-grade active state throughout. When someone else creates the movement and you surrender to it, the muscles can release more completely ; and the nervous system registers the experience as being held rather than doing, which produces a different quality of relaxation entirely.
What to expect during your session:
You'll lie fully clothed on a professional massage table ; comfortable layers are recommended. Hay will work through a full sequence beginning with the areas that hold the most postpartum tension: hips, lower back, glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, and neck. Some stretches will feel immediately releasing. Some will ask something of you - a breath, a softening, a willingness to stay in mild discomfort a moment longer than you would on your own. That's where the work happens.
Sessions are tailored to where your body is on that day. Postpartum bodies are not generic, and assisted stretching is not a script. Hay will check in and you are still in charge throughout.
Why it matters for postpartum bodies specifically:
Pregnancy changes the body's fascial structure, joint mobility, and muscle activation patterns in ways that don't automatically reverse after birth. Carrying, nursing, bending, and lifting in repetitive patterns compounds this. The result is often a body that is simultaneously tight in some areas (hips, chest, neck, lower back) and unstable or underactivated in others (deep core, pelvic floor, mid-back).
Assisted stretching addresses the tight, restricted, pain-holding areas directly ; improving circulation to chronically compressed tissue, increasing range of motion that has gradually narrowed, and creating the kind of full-body release that is very difficult to create alone.
Beyond the physical:
There is something that happens when a body that has been doing and giving and producing constantly is simply held and moved by someone else. It is not nothing. Many clients describe the table as the first time in months (sometimes years) they have fully stopped. The nervous system notices. The body exhales differently than it does any other time.
Red Light Therapy
What is red light therapy and why is it part of the Sacred Reset?
What it is:
Red light therapy — also called photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate skin and tissue at a cellular level. It is not a tanning bed, not UV light, and not heat therapy. It is a low-level light exposure that stimulates mitochondria — the energy-producing structures inside your cells — to function more efficiently. The result is accelerated cellular repair, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and a cascade of secondary effects that matter significantly for postpartum bodies.
The device Hay uses is a professional-grade standing lamp that runs throughout your session, providing full-body exposure while you receive your assisted stretch and herbal steam.
What the research shows:
Red light therapy is one of the better-researched areas of complementary wellness. Clinical evidence supports its use for accelerating tissue repair in women with perineal trauma postpartum. A 2019 study found that infrared light therapy combined with exercise improved diastasis recti in postpartum women, and a 2020 study found it effectively reduced postpartum pain including soreness, muscle aches, and joint discomfort. A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials found that photobiomodulation significantly improved depressive symptoms compared with control, supporting brain energy metabolism, blood flow, and reduced neuroinflammation in the circuits that regulate mood and emotional resilience.
What this means in plain language for postpartum mothers:
Tissue healing: If you have perineal tearing, episiotomy healing, or a c-section scar, red light supports the tissue repair process at the cellular level - collagen production, circulation to the site, and scar tissue softening.
Pain and inflammation: Chronic postpartum pain; the lower back, the hips, the shoulders from nursing - responds to red light's anti-inflammatory effects. Not masking pain but supporting the conditions in which healing happens.
Mood and energy: A 2023 meta-analysis found light therapy significantly improved depression scores and sleep quality in new mothers, with stronger effects after six or more weeks of consistent use. The mechanism involves light supporting the brain's mood-regulating circuits - the same ones depleted by sleep deprivation, hormonal crash, and chronic stress.
Nervous system support: Red light at the wavelengths used in professional devices supports cellular energy production throughout the body - which has downstream effects on how regulated, restored, and resourced the nervous system feels.
What it feels like:
Warm. Gentle. Invisible, mostly - you are aware of mild warmth on your skin and nothing else. There is no discomfort. Most people forget it's there within the first few minutes, which is exactly the point. It is doing its work quietly while everything else in the session does its work too.
Note: Red light therapy is considered safe and breastfeeding-compatible. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific medical concerns.
About the Yoni Steam
Yoni steaming is an ancient wellness practice with roots in indigenous healing traditions all over the world.
For centuries, women used herbal steam as a form of self-care for reproductive health, postpartum recovery, and cyclical ritual. It has returned to modern wellness as more and more women remember and reclaim something their great-grandmothers knew.
A note on the science: yoni steaming is a traditional practice. Like many traditional wellness practices, it is not extensively studied in clinical settings. The benefits described below reflect traditional use, reported practitioner experience, and reasonable physiological rationale — not FDA-approved medical claims. This is a self-care and wellness practice, not a medical treatment.
Who it's for:
For postpartum mothers
(after all active bleeding has stopped — typically 6+ weeks)
The most ancient and widespread application of yoni steaming across cultures is postpartum recovery. Traditionally used to support the uterus in returning to its pre-pregnancy size, aid in releasing residual postpartum fluids, support healing of perineal tissue and vaginal tears, and restore warmth to a body that has given an enormous amount. The herbs used in the WSS blend: calendula, yarrow, motherwort, red raspberry leaf; have traditional use specifically for this phase.
For menstrual support
Many women use steaming in the pre-menstrual phase or between cycles for support with: cramping and pelvic tension, irregular or inconsistent cycles, heavy flow or dark clotted blood at cycle onset, bloating and fatigue associated with menstruation, and reconnection to cyclical rhythm. Steam is not used during active menstruation — only between cycles.
For perimenopause and menopause
Vaginal dryness, pelvic tension, discomfort during intimacy, and the general sense of disconnection from the body that can accompany hormonal transition are areas where many women report benefit from regular steaming. The warmth and herbs work together to increase local circulation and support tissue suppleness.
For general reproductive wellness
Yoni steaming has traditional use for: supporting conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids (as a complement to medical care, not a replacement); reducing recurrent yeast infections and restoring vaginal microbiome balance; supporting scar tissue from c-sections or episiotomies; increasing libido and pelvic floor connection; and the often-overlooked benefit of simply reconnecting to a part of the body that has been through a great deal.
For emotional and somatic healing
This is the benefit most difficult to quantify and most consistently reported. Sitting quietly over warm herbal steam; with no phone, no children to attend to, no tasks to complete; is an act of deliberate attention to a part of the body that is rarely given any. Many women report a sense of emotional release, grief moving through, or a quality of restoration they struggle to name. The nervous system responds to being cared for deliberately, even when the care is simple.
Wabi Sabi Sage Herbal Blend
What's in it & Why
Rosemary — antimicrobial, stimulates circulation, supports clearing of old fluids and tissue. Warming and clarifying.
Lavender — anti-inflammatory, relaxing, supports pelvic muscle tension release and emotional calm. One of the most researched herbs for nervous system support.
Calendula — soothing and anti-inflammatory, specifically valued for perineal healing, tissue repair, and sensitivity. Gentle enough for the most tender postpartum tissue.
Mugwort — the foundational yoni steam herb across most traditional cultures. Antimicrobial, warming, traditionally used to stimulate circulation and support uterine health. The herb that opens the pores for the other herbs to work.
Red Raspberry Leaf — traditionally used as a uterine tonic. Rich in minerals including iron and magnesium. Especially valued in postpartum and pre-menstrual phases.
Motherwort — traditionally used for uterine toning and emotional steadiness. Has traditional use for calming the nervous system. Well suited to the postpartum season.
Chamomile — called the grandmother herb in many herbal traditions. Anti-inflammatory, deeply calming, supports cramping and tension. The herb that makes the entire blend smell like safety.
Rose petals — astringent, uplifting, emotionally supportive. Rose has been used in women's healing traditions across almost every culture for its gentle opening quality.
Closing Reset Audio
Why the session ends the way it does
Most bodywork sessions end abruptly. The timer runs out, someone hands you a glass of water, and you're expected to return immediately to the full demand of your life. This session doesn't work that way.
The Sacred Reset closes with a 10-15 minute guided audio practice while you're still on the table ; a breath sequence and a slow body scan that gives your nervous system time to integrate what just happened before you re-enter the world.
Why this matters:
The nervous system doesn't shift states instantly. When your body has been through assisted stretching, infrared light, and the warmth of a yoni steam, it has received significant input — and it needs a transition, not an interruption. The closing practice is that transition.
The breath sequence used is specifically designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the rest and digest state that is chronically underactivated in postpartum mothers whose nervous systems are running on high alert. Slow, extended exhales are the most direct physiological lever for shifting from activation to regulation. This isn't metaphorical. It is how the autonomic nervous system actually works.
The body scan that follows gives your awareness a chance to move through everything that was touched and held in the session — not to analyze it, just to notice it and land in it before you move.
What you experience:
You stay on the table. The audio plays through the speaker. Hay moves quietly in the background, beginning to pack down the equipment, creating an environment of unhurried stillness. You don't have to do anything. You breathe and you rest and you let the session complete itself.
Many clients describe this closing as the most significant part of the experience. Not the most dramatic — the gentlest. The moment where everything that happened in the previous hour settles into the body rather than evaporating the moment you stand up.
You'll leave differently than you arrived. That's the whole point.
Contraindications
