Mother’s Blessings

Also known as a Blessingway, this is a sacred ceremony in honour of the expecting mother’s journey through pregnancy and her rite of passage from maiden-mother, or mother-mother (if not her first time pregnant). It is inspired by a tradition originating in the Navajo Native American tribe, where the intentions are to invoke positive blessings unto the mother-to-be, as well as to intentionally reduce struggles for the rest of pregnancy, the birth, and postpartum period.

The ceremony can include a variety of practices, rituals and activities, such as meditation, introspection, embodied movement & breath, dancing, fear releasing, fire ceremony, red thread ritual, affirmation display making, letter writing, belly painting, art making, intentional beading, story sharing, singing and more. It is undoubtedly a beautiful space for energy to flow and for the mother to prepare emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually, for the birth, postpartum, and her new chapter of Motherhood.

The ceremony will be facilitated by myself, Nicola. Every detail will be covered - whether that’s a perfectly curated playlist for background music, to cleansing the space energetically, to flowers and candles to bring in the magic, to making sure the mama never feels uncomfortable (and a whole lot more!). 

Being a mother of two, my journey thus far has taught me a lot about the energetics thereof as well as the portals and initiations us mothers walk through in birth and Motherhood. When guiding Mother’s Blessings, I hold intentional and supportive space for the mother-to-be by harnessing my inner knowing and attuning to her. The most important thing for me is to support the mother in feeling held, safe, loved and seen in what this journey is all about.

Although based in Essex, I am not limited to hosting Mother’s Blessings in this area alone.

Should you be interested, I’ll help you figure out exactly what you’d like to include in the ceremony based on the intentions and what practices/rituals resonate, creating a bespoke ceremony that matches perfectly.

Prices range depending on what’s included and if venue hire is required (they can also be held in the comfort of your’s or a loved one’s home). The approximate price range is £300-£400.
