Other Offerings
Mother Blessing
A Mother Blessing is a ceremony/circle with the intention of honouring the mother by creating space to witness & send blessings for her journey through pregnancy, birth & postnatal. During a Mother Blessing we send out the frequency to protect, hold & empower her for a beautiful birth, & to allow her to open to receive the gift of time & presence from her loved ones. When we gather in these sacred spaces the sense of being within a sisterhood is opened, we feel the deep trust & connection to all the women around us & the earth below us. Through this ceremony we are reminding the mother of the abundant support around her, whilst also recognising she is still here as an individual & deserves to be honoured just as much as baby does
What can you expect:
- A gathering of your closest loved ones (either indoors or outside).
- Guided mediation to connect you down into the earth & yourself.
- Ceremonial activities such as Anointing, Red Thread, Belly Painting, Affirmation Cards.
- Sharing circle & yummy food.

Closing the bones
Closing the Bones is a gentle and nourishing ritual to signify the end of the journey of pregnancy & birth. The Rebozo practice and massage will help realign and balance the body, the mind, the spirit and, most importantly, the womb. It will help you return to your centre, both physically and energetically.
​
My intention is to create a sacred space for you, where we can honour and acknowledge your experience of birth; showing tenderness and gratitude to your body. This ritual leaves you with a sense of coming home to yourself and closing your energy channels. A lot of emotions can rise during this practice & I honour you by creating space to let go of any emotional ties that no longer serve you.
What can you expect:
- Head & womb massage.
- Closing of the energetic body using rocking, shifting & binding with the Rebozo.
- Ceremonial activities such as smudging, blessing & guided messaging.
