Founder & Co-Lead
Kit Maloney
"I founded Kitara because yoni steaming changed my life. What began with skepticism transformed into a practice I now deeply trust—one that I believe holds the power to heal both individually and collectively."
Through steaming, Kit's achieved regular, pain-free menstrual cycles, healthy pregnancies and postpartum recoveries in my forties, and, most profoundly, a deepening relationship with the wisdom of my womb. This practice is as vast as it is deep—and Kit truly believes it has the power to change the world.

Girl... she still hasn't steamed!
Eliza and Kit, our founder, go way back. They’re part of a sisterhood of a dozen girls who met when they were ten and have grown into women who continue to walk through life side by side—as mothers, soul-sisters, and collaborators in work and beyond. So while we’re celebrating Eliza’s strong baseline of womb health that means she doesn't present with an acute "need" to steam… don’t worry, she’ll be on a steam seat soon. Stay tuned!
