Fukiko Ostensen is a Steam Therapist and Founder of Poca Poca. She 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, making plant medicines, spending quality time with her family and friends, and being engaged in community activities.

Today, we learn about Fukiko's path to her current work, her early life in Japan and her winding adventure to the Hudson Valley. She shares details about the steam therapy she offers, how it is healing and nourishing to the pelvic region and can improve the vital vaginal flora. She's collaborating with Mary Evelyn Pritchard on a special one day retreat in the Hudson Valley on May 10th. Here's my previous interview with Mary Evelyn.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

Our show music is from Shana Falana!
