Mother BlessinG
Returning to an ancient tradition of honouring the mother during pregnancy
An alternative to the modern 'baby shower', a mother blessing honours the transition you are making as a woman as you become a mother for the first time, or welcome another new baby into your family.
The aim of the ceremony is to gather all the important women in your life to nourish you physically and spiritually and mentally prepare you for your birth and this new phase in your life.
As a priestess and experienced birthkeeper I am thrilled to offer the service of facilitating your special day. This can allow you to really engage and get the most from this amazing ceremony.
Your journey from maiden to mother is unique and precious to you
Maybe you would like to dedicate the space where you are birthing your baby.. maybe you would like to be emotionally ready and feel the love of women around you? We will meet and discuss what is important to you and what you are hoping to get from the day.
Unlike a baby shower, the focus is not on gifts and games but making you the centre of ritual and blessings, giving you a meaningful experience that will strengthen and nourish you for the journey ahead. as you prepare to meet your baby.
The ability to receive pampering and attention is so important in the surrender into becoming a mother.
I love cooking and my mother blessing clients often talk about the wonderful home-made sourdough and dal that I brought for the circle to share.
Examples of some rituals you may be inspired by…
Positive birth stories
Hands, back and feet massage and hair brushing
Symbolic gift giving, the stringing of beads on a necklace infused with good wishes
Belly casting
Meditation
The red yarn 'web' to keep you connected even after the day is over
Tea and cake
Weaving the red thread to bind the energy raising during the ceremony. With our bracelets we will continue holding the mother with love until her baby is here.
I offer belly casting as part of mother blessings or as a standalone service for mothers to capture this precious and fleeting time.
Price from £200 upwards, I am able to give you a quote after discussion.
