Mother Blessing Ceremony

Mother Blessings are one of the most sacred and intentional services I offer, created to truly honor and celebrate your journey into motherhood. I believe that becoming a mother is a profound transformation—one that deserves to be recognized and held with care and reverence. This ceremony is an intimate, loving space where you can pause, reflect, and allow yourself to be honored. We extend our hands out to you as strong, loving, patient and wise women, to hold you and to bless you, as you become a mother. A Navajo ceremony that celebrates the woman's rite of passage into motherhood, known as a “Blessingway”. We as westernized practitioners, respect the Navajo people and use “Mother Blessing”.

It is traditionally a gathering of women in a safe, sacred space. A space created to nourish, bless and empower mother to be. The space is transformed into an environment of warm flickering candles, soft music, pillowed seating arranged in a circle. Flowers, herbs, crystals, etc. Nourishing food often passed down from elders, birth workers or midwives are served. Ceremony and ritual fill the space. Opening mediation is offered, each woman may share their experiences with birth or relationship with mother to be. Weaving of yarn to svmbolize the umbilical cord and connection between mother and baby. Lighting of a birth candle, washing of the mother’s feet in a basin of flowers and warm water. Casting the belly, writing letters to baby, braiding of mother’s hair, henna, and the making of flower crowns are just some rituals in which take place in this container.

"This is the purpose of creative ritual, increasing balance in connection within ourselves, with each other in the world, and with the larger rhythms, and energies that brings stability and light into our lives" -Renee Beck

In addition to the Mother Blessing , I offer Closing of the Bones ceremonies as well - that allows you to release any lingering fears, emotional weight, or stress that may have built up during your pregnancy or postpartum period. It’s a time to let go, to clear away what no longer serves you, and to create space for renewal, strength, and peace as you step into motherhood with clarity and empowerment.

Together, these practices provide a deeply nurturing and transformative experience for your body, mind, and spirit. It’s my honor to create this sacred space for you to be held, to heal, and to feel truly supported during this life-changing transition. My goal is for you to leave the ceremony feeling lighter, more grounded, and ready to embrace the next chapter of your journey with grace, confidence, and a renewed sense of self.
