MOTHERS’ BLESSINGS & CLOSING

CEREMONIES

Spaces to honour the sacred transition into motherhood.

Co-created with love, care and intention by Anita & Alexa.


A PRENATAL PREGNANCY CEREMONY

MOTHER BLESSING

CELEBRATE, HONOUR AND SUPPORT THE MAMA-TO-BE

Together we will gather to share, sing & feast.

A beautiful alternative to a traditional baby shower and entirely focused on offering love, support and encouragement to the mother.

A MOTHER BLESSING MAY INCLUDE:

  • Flower crown - Each woman brings a flower to be woven into a crown for the mama to wear during ceremony. 

  • Story sharing

  • Positive words of affirmation for the mother to be. Words of love/ blessings spoken over her

  • Foot massage and pampering with oils, salts and herbs

  • Candle ceremony - candles to be taken home to light when mama goes into labour in honour of the new life coming earthside

  • Red thread ceremony - a red thread to be woven around everyone's wrist and cut at the end into a bracelet for the women to wear until mama has birthed her baby. A symbol of connection, strength and community.

  • Birth necklace creation - everyone brings a bead that we use to make a necklace or bracelet for mama that she carries with her as a reminder of the love and strength of her tribe.

  • Crafting self care goodies to support the mum in postpartum.

  • A food share to end.

Every ceremony is uniquely tailored. If this sounds like something that you’d like to arrange for yourself or for a loved one, we'd be honoured to host - please get in touch to arrange an initial consultation


A POSTPARTUM HEALING CEREMONY

CLOSING CEREMONY

A unique opportunity to gather together with your closest women friends, sisters and elders and be welcomed into motherhood, whether it is your first birth or one of many.

CLOSING CEREMONIES MAY INCLUDE:

  • Story sharing 

  • Herbal flower bath

  • Many hands massage

  • Rebozo massage (or large scarf) 

  • Rebozo wrapping

  • A food share to end 

This ceremony is so much more than the sum of its parts - a truly magical and life changing way to be seen, heard and held by those you hold most dear. To surrender and let go of what was as you embrace this new version of you.

Every ceremony is uniquely tailored, a closing ceremony can be held a month or many years post birth. It offers the opportunity to celebrate the experience of becoming a mother, your vulnerability, resilience and beauty in navigating this transition. 

We hold this space with sacred reverence, please get in touch to arrange an initial consultation we’d love to connect with you.
