Today we’d like to introduce you to Thema Azize Serwa.
It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?
Years ago I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and it set me on a path to explore holistic remedies after being told by 7 doctors that I could only conceive via IVF and would need about $15,000 to get started with that process. Out of that crisis was birthed my creativity. Something turned on inside of me that knew I could heal myself. I started reading books like “Sacred Woman” by the world renowned Queen Afua and one sentence changed my life. It mentioned steaming the womb with herbs. I created the Womb Sauna yoni steam experience and worked on my own healing for 2 years. Doctors began to say maybe they misdiagnosed me. Well, my daughter just turned 7 this year. I left corporate America in 2011 and immediately started building my footprint in my industry as a pioneer. I got started long before it was on reality TV or even google searches. I had faith, passion, and a determination to show women their options with their womb health care. When the odds were stacked against me, I redefined the odds. Here I am 10 years later, with a yoni steaming brand in 15 different countries, teaching women all over the world how to heal everything and certifying Womb Sauna Practitioners and duplicating my success. It’s been incredible.
I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?
When I started my business I had no plan, mentor, or money. It was risky but also rewarding. Insecurity is costly in business. It took me years to really believe in myself and it showed in my pricing model, my resistance to being visible so I didn’t build out marketing infrastructure. I hired potential instead of skill and played small in my leadership. When I reflect on those challenges, the only way that I could overcome them was to truly believe in myself and be the mogul that I knew was tucked away inside. I immediately saw my confidence show up in my revenue. A healthy self-perspective helped me have a 6 figure earning business. Failure in business is a self-identity crisis.
Let’s talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?
What started as a niche business, most known for our Womb Sauna Yoni Steam Experience, quickly evolved into more than just helping women with reproductive disorders like fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, etc. To my surprise women would would pop a squat on my pot and birth their dream businesses, unexpected financial blessings, and major life shifts. I talk about this in our HuffPost interview. It was fascinating to see the connection between womb healing and entrepreneurship. The skills I used in corporate America to coach business owners on their infrastructure started being used to coach my clients. So I launched my online university and started training other passionate women on how to launch 6 figure earning empowerment businesses. Then what followed that was an exclusive business infrastructure training where entrepreneurs can dock up for 5 days with me and design their business infrastructure. They get 15 hours of real time executive level coaching and group masterminding. My students are making money by day 2 in this 5 day training. They leave knowing exactly how and when to work, how to plan out their next 12 months, how to budget for their business, and more. I’ve been coined the Spiritual Business Strategist because people heal any entrepreneurial trauma in this class. When you try, you fail. They gain the capacity to keep going. I often say in this class, adversity is not rewarded but the work is. So we work in this class and celebrate the rewards everyone experiences.
What’s your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?
Success is a decision. Once you get very clear about what you want to do and who you are, you can then execute on that clarity. Too often we say we are confused and stuck, but I honestly believe that confusion is simply the avoidance of making the necessary decision. You can literally be one key decision away from transforming your life. So just take a step and make one key decision at a time. Before you know it you are rewarded with success because you were decisive and took action to receive it.
Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?
Success is an abundance of joy and peace. Joy and peace translates into money and material wealth. Because the better you feel, the more you can allow in your life. So there’s no point of having a business that does not produce joy in your life and peace. Choose alignment over achievement. Don’t just do things for a dollar, but do what feels like your purpose. If it lights your soul up, it’s success.
What’s next for you?
I continue to help people heal everything. It started with their womb health, but I literally have developed 24/7 on demand courses and programs that give people skills for every area of their life. I truly believe we are mind, body, and spirit. So I continue to recruit students who want more information about self-care and recruit students who are interested in becoming a Certified Womb Sauna Practitioner. We are also certifying and licensing facilities, bringing our unique expression of yoni steaming into established spas and wellness centers worldwide.
