My Journey From Skeptic to Devotee
I’ll be honest, when I first heard about jade eggs through GOOP, I thought it was super weird.
This was long before my work in sacred sexuality. I remember thinking, “They’re putting crystals where?”
It sounded like a fad, but as I began exploring the energy and spirituality around sexuality through Tantra, Taoism, and feminine embodiment, my perspective shifted.
I realized the jade egg wasn’t a gimmick, it was a portal.
A way to deepen presence inside your body, reconnect with your sensual energy, and merge the physical, energetic, and spiritual layers of your being.
And I’ll be honest, the first time I used one, I felt nothing (hear more about my story in S3 Ep101 – From Vibrators to Crystal Wands Slow Pleasure & Sacred Self Connection with Courtney Davis, Waands Founder on Apple or Spotify).
That first “nothing” showed me how disconnected from my body I actually was. Being guided by a mentor with intention and care is what allowed me to drop deeply within this work, and it’s why I created Radiant Pleasure, my 6-week yoni egg immersion. I want you to know what your body is truly capable of, and for every woman who’s felt disconnected from her body, to know that jade egg practice isn’t about perfection or performance, it’s about presence.
What Jade Egg Practice Actually Is
At its core, jade egg practice (or yoni egg practice) is an intentional, meditative way of connecting with your yoni, your pelvic bowl, using a smooth, egg-shaped stone made of non-porous crystal, traditionally jade.
But more than that, it’s a ritual of awareness.
You don’t pop it in and go about your day.
You don’t multitask with it in.
You don’t sleep with it in.
And it’s definitely not just a fancy Kegel workout.
Jade egg work is about presence.
It’s about slowing down enough to listen, to feel your body’s yes and no, to notice subtle movements of energy, and to develop an intimate relationship with your sensual power.
When practiced intentionally, women have said it helps awaken areas that may have been numb, dormant, or carrying tension for years. It strengthens your mind-body connection and invites sensitivity back into the parts of you that have been silenced or forgotten.
This practice comes from ancient Taoist teachings, where women used the jade egg to cultivate and refine life-force energy, transforming it into vitality, radiance, and spiritual nourishment.
The egg acts as a bridge between the physical and energetic, helping you not only strengthen your pelvic floor but also circulate and refine energy through your entire body, so your pleasure becomes your nourishment rather than something that goes poof gone.
The physical egg adds tangible feedback, allowing you to notice subtle sensations you never noticed before, and that feedback can build strength and vitality from the inside out.
This is at the heart of Radiant Pleasure, my 6-week yoni egg immersion, where I weave Taoist wisdom, breath, visualization, and somatic practice into every journey. By the end, the energy you’ve awakened becomes your own fountain of radiance, your honeymoon glow long after the honeymoon has passed.
My approach is rooted in the lineage of my mentor, Layla Martin, who trained under Ma Ananda Sarita (a leading voice of modern Tantra), have carried this wisdom into a trauma-informed, pleasure-based, and deeply feminine approach.
That lineage informs my own jade egg work today, honoring the ancient roots while making it accessible, safe, and deeply nourishing for real women in real life.
Common Myths About Jade Egg Practice
Unfortunately, jade egg work has gained a lot of myths and misunderstandings over the years. Let’s clear up a few of the big ones.
Myth #1: It’s Just About Tightening
This practice is often mistaken for “getting tighter,” but that completely misses the point.
Yes, it strengthens the pelvic floor, but it’s not about gripping or control. It’s about awakening sensitivity and restoring balance.
When you over-focus on squeezing, you can actually create more tension and numbness. Many women already carry chronic tightness in the pelvic floor from stress, trauma, or overuse.
True jade egg work brings awareness to the full spectrum, activation and relaxation.
You learn to isolate and connect with different areas inside your yoni: the entrance, the mid-vaginal canal, around the cervix, even right and left sides.
This builds communication between your brain and your body, turning what was once a mechanical exercise into a mind-body dialogue that leads to more pleasure, sensitivity, and confidence.
Myth #2: It Causes Infections
This one is understandable, because yes, infections can happen if you use low-quality or porous stones, or if you don’t clean your egg properly.
But when practiced with intention, knowledge, and proper hygiene, jade egg work is completely safe.
The key is using a high-quality, non-porous, genuine crystal, never a cheap or plastic imitation.
That’s why I only use and recommend Waands Yoni Eggs — made from authentic, body-safe stones and polished to a smooth finish that won’t harbor bacteria.

For full safety and care instructions, see my Yoni Egg Client Guide, where I walk you through everything from cleansing and charging to energetic preparation.
Myth #3: It’s Just a Marketing Gimmick
This practice has existed for thousands of years, long before modern wellness brands came along.
The egg itself isn’t the magic. It’s a mirror for your awareness, intention, and energy.
When approached consciously, it becomes a vehicle for healing and embodiment.
You start to connect with the parts of your body that have been ignored, shamed, or numb. You begin to feel your sensual energy not as something to hide or perform, but as your natural life force.
You can even do this work energetically without ever inserting the egg, and still experience powerful shifts.
So no, it’s not a gimmick. It’s an ancient, proven method of awakening body awareness and refining energy, when practiced with presence and respect.
Myth #4: You Can Just Do Kegels Instead
Kegels have their place, but they only target one layer of muscle and tend to focus on constant activation.
The jade egg, on the other hand, offers a multidimensional experience.
It provides tactile feedback, allowing you to feel subtle movements of your muscles as you explore activation and release. You learn where to engage, where to soften, and how to move energy through the entire pelvic bowl.
Using a string adds gentle resistance, helping you strengthen and build trust with your body.
Where Kegels can create rigidity, jade egg work cultivates harmony, strong yet supple, powerful yet sensitive.
It’s not about control, it’s about deepening intimacy with yourself.
The True Purpose and Benefits
The physical benefits can be incredible with women speaking to a stronger pelvic floor, improved bladder control, and increased circulation and vitality.
But the deeper magic lies in the energetic and emotional layers.
Our yonis hold so much, pleasure and power, yes, but also memory, emotion, and sometimes pain.
Every heartbreak, every rushed moment of intimacy, every time you silenced your desire, it all leaves an imprint.
Through intentional jade egg practice, you can:
- Release stored tension or trauma — not by force, but through connection and safety.
- Rebuild sensitivity — awakening subtle sensations and communication with your body again.
- Expand your capacity for pleasure and self-trust — training your nervous system to hold higher levels of aliveness, intimacy, and bliss.
- Use your sexual energy as nourishment — refining raw, fiery energy into radiant life force that feeds your body, mind, and spirit.
When you move that energy consciously, it doesn’t deplete you, it replenishes you. It becomes the glow behind your confidence, creativity, and presence.
This isn’t just about stronger muscles, it’s about embodying your fullness: your sensuality, softness, and strength.
Because your pleasure is your power.
How to Begin Safely and Intentionally
Before you rush out and order an egg, remember: your body leads the way.
You never have to insert an egg to begin this work. Some women start with energetic awareness, moving through the breath and muscle engagement as if the egg were present, without actually inserting anything.
Only insert when your body feels like a full yes, not from pressure or curiosity, but genuine readiness.
When that moment comes, use a drilled, non-porous egg made from genuine crystal, and make sure you understand proper cleaning and care. Practice with intention for a set time, never wear your egg throughout the day or sleep with it in, and give your pelvic floor as much release as you give it strength. Most women need softening more than anything else.
This is exactly how I guide women inside Radiant Pleasure, my 6 week jade egg immersion. The first journey is devoted entirely to trust and safety, because that’s the foundation everything else builds on. You practice in the privacy of your own home, camera and audio off, and every choice is yours: clothes on or off, egg in or energetic egg only, nothing is ever required.
You’ll also receive my Choosing and Caring for Your Yoni Egg Guide, so you feel confident before your very first session.
Jade egg work is a slow, sensual courtship with yourself.
It’s a dialogue between your body, your energy, and your pleasure. When approached with curiosity and reverence, every breath becomes part of the practice.
My Unique Approach
Inside Radiant Pleasure, my 6 week yoni egg immersion, we go far beyond physical technique.
This is about embodied connection, working with your muscles, yes, but also your breath, your energy, and your emotions.
Every journey begins by creating safety in your nervous system. From there we layer in breath, visualization, and gentle movement to awaken sensation you may never have felt before.
Physically, we explore the intricate landscape of the yoni, isolating specific regions like the entrance, mid-vaginal canal, and cervix, while balancing activation with relaxation. Because for some women the challenge is weakness, for others, it’s tension.
And then something shifts, the shame, fear of judgement, and need to be in control that your body has been holding onto for years begins to release. Things no amount of talking, journaling, or processing has reached. That’s the exhale, that’s when you truly open.
From there, we weave in the energetics by working with Taoist-inspired practices like the microcosmic orbit, circulating your sexual energy through the body so it becomes nourishment rather than release. By the final journey, you have your own fountain of radiance and vitality to return to again and again.
Each session is guided by intention, healing, pleasure, nourishment, or power, and supported by trauma-informed tools and Reiki energy healing.
This work becomes a homecoming, a remembrance that your body isn’t something to fix, but a living temple that knows how to heal when given space.

Jade Egg or Yoni Egg FAQ
🌙 What is a Jade Egg / Yoni Egg?
A Jade Egg (also called a Yoni Egg) is a smooth, egg-shaped crystal traditionally used in Taoist practices to support women’s health and spiritual growth. It is placed inside the vagina during guided practices to cultivate pelvic floor vitality, increase sensitivity, and deepen the connection to feminine energy.
🌙 How are these practices different from Kegels or yoni balls?
Most Kegel practices focus only on activating the full pelvic floor without much nuance. Jade Egg and Yoni Egg practices go far beyond this — they bring equal attention to activation and relaxation of the pelvic floor. Relaxation is just as important, especially for women with an overactive or tense pelvic floor.
These practices also target specific muscle groups to strengthen the mind-body connection, increase sensitivity, and build balanced strength. Rather than simply contracting the whole pelvic bowl, we work with distinct areas such as:
- The entrance of the vagina
- The middle of the vaginal canal
- Around the cervix
- The anus
- The right and left sides of the vaginal canal
This precision awakens deeper awareness and vitality. But what truly sets Jade Egg and Yoni Egg work apart is that it’s not just physical, it’s also a path of spiritual and somatic healing. As you move through these practices, you’re invited to release old imprints, connect with your sensuality, and reclaim the sacred power of your body in a grounded, embodied way.
🌙 Do I need to own a Jade Egg to participate?
No, you have two options:
- Use a Jade Egg or Yoni Egg (I can provide a discount code if you’d like to purchase one).
- Practice energetically, without the egg, and still receive profound benefits.
🌙 Can I get a bacterial infection using a Yoni Egg?
It’s possible if a porous or low-quality stone is used, or if the egg isn’t cleaned properly.
That’s why choosing a high-quality, body-safe source is essential.
If you’re shopping outside of Waands, I recommend sticking only to non-porous materials such as Jade, Obsidian, or Borosilicate Glass, as these are safest for internal use when properly cared for.
However, if you’re shopping with Waands, you can feel completely confident in their craftsmanship and safety standards. In over 7.5 years of business, they’ve never received negative feedback related to bacterial infections with any of their stones, thanks to their exceptional quality control.
I also provide full education on cleaning, care, and energetic preparation so you can practice safely and confidently.
🌙 What type of Yoni Egg should I choose?
Not all Yoni Eggs are created equally, the quality of the stone and its finish truly matter.
Because of this, I exclusively recommend Waands Yoni Eggs. Their crystals are crafted with care, polished to a smooth, body-safe finish, and energetically attuned for practice.
If you choose to purchase elsewhere, please stick to non-porous materials only (Jade, Obsidian, or Borosilicate Glass) and ensure the company clearly states their eggs are body-safe and suitable for internal use.
As a trusted partner, you can receive 10% off all Waands products with code UNAPOLOGETIC.
🌙 Can the egg get stuck?
This is one of the most common concerns! Your body is designed to naturally release the egg. Still, for peace of mind, I recommend using Yoni Eggs with a drilled hole and body-safe thread/floss, which allows for easy removal.
🌙 How do you clean a Jade Egg?
- Wash with unscented mild soap and hot water, or use a water + iodine solution.
- Always remove the thread/floss between uses.
- Clean the drilled hole thoroughly with a straw scrubber or pipe cleaner to ensure no residue is left.
🌙 What happens in a session?
Each session is 90 minutes and guided by me. We’ll begin with grounding, intention setting, and education, then move into a Jade Egg practice. The practices are prerecorded and any live cohorts do the practices with your camera off to ensure privacy and comfort.
🌙 What are the benefits of Jade Egg / Yoni Egg practice?
Women often experience:
- A deeper connection with their yoni
- Release and healing of stored trauma or tension
- Increased sensation and pelvic vitality
- Improved bladder control and pelvic strength
- Greater confidence in femininity and sensuality
- Enhanced energy flow and groundedness
🌙 Is Yoni Egg practice safe?
Yes, when guided properly, Jade Egg practices are safe and gentle. You’re encouraged to listen to your body and move at your own pace.
🌙 Who is this for?
These sessions are for women who want to:
- Reconnect with their sensuality
- Heal from past experiences or trauma
- Strengthen and revitalize their pelvic floor
- Cultivate more confidence, pleasure, and embodiment
🌙 Are there times when I should not practice?
Yes. It’s best to avoid Yoni Egg use when you:
- Are pregnant (unless guided by a practitioner trained in pregnancy-specific Jade Egg work)
- Have an active vaginal infection or irritation
- Are within the first 6 weeks postpartum (after clearance, the egg can support healing)
🌙 What if I have more questions?
You’re welcome to reach out directly or book a complimentary 30-minute call with me. I’d love to answer your questions and see if this practice feels aligned for you.
Exploring Jade Egg and Yoni Egg practice can be both exciting and vulnerable, and it’s natural to have questions before you begin. My intention is to offer safe, grounded guidance that supports your body, your healing, and your connection to your sensual self.
When you’re ready, Radiant Pleasure is waiting for you. 🌙
