What it is
Unlike a baby shower, a Mother's Blessing centres the mother. Inspired by traditions from many cultures, it's a moment to gather your closest people around you — with words of love, symbols and intention.
How we plan it
I design the ceremony together with you, so it reflects your story. It can include flower-crown rituals, a thread of strength, a foot bath, blessing readings and candles for the day of birth. It can take place in your home, a garden or a chosen space. The ceremony lasts two hours (not including set up and break down). Your music of choice plays softly throughout the ceremony, and pictures and short videos of the gathering are captured and shared with you afterwards as a keepsake.
Ceremony options
Choose the rituals that resonate with you — we can weave together as many or as few as feels right.
