Hey everyone, I’m thinking about starting a yoni-steam business in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Does anyone know if I’d need any specific permits or licenses to run this kind of business? FYI, we wouldn’t be physically touching clients, just providing the service. Any tips or advice would be awesome! Found this article if it helps: Vaginal Steaming: What Is It and Is It Safe?
You’ll probably need some kind of health permit, especially since it’s a wellness service. NYC is strict about that stuff.

Good point! Do you know which department I’d contact for something like this?

Yeah, try the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection or the Department of Health. They handle most permits for businesses like this.
I’d check with a lawyer to be sure. Rules for wellness services can be weird, even if you’re not physically touching clients.

Thanks! I was wondering if it’s worth hiring a lawyer for this or if I can figure it out myself.

Honestly, a quick consultation with a lawyer could save you a ton of headaches later. Plus, they can double-check zoning laws for your location.
I’m curious, what exactly is a yoni-steam? I keep hearing about it but IDK what it is.

Oh, it’s basically a wellness practice where herbal steam is used to cleanse and relax. It’s pretty popular in some circles!

Wait, so you just sit over steam? Sounds interesting. Is there actual evidence it works?

Yeah, some people swear by it for relaxation and general wellness. Here’s an article about it: Vaginal Steaming: What Is It and Is It Safe?
You should also look into business insurance. Even if you’re not touching clients, liability coverage is always a good idea.

Oh, I didn’t even think about insurance. Thanks for the heads-up!

Definitely! Better safe than sorry, especially in NYC. Clients can be unpredictable.
