A Mother’s Blessing is a beautiful and sacred ceremony to honour the mother to be and bless her as she embarks this rite of passage into motherhood (or multiple motherhood). A creative alternative to the modern day baby shower that is respectfully inspired by a Najavao ceremony, called a Blessingway.

A chance for the mama to be to gather with all her closest females as they shower her with love and support. An intimate ceremony to share stories, ease fears and celebrate the mama for the amazing woman that she is. The main focus is to nurture and empower the mother, providing her with all the love, strength and confidence she needs to embark this very special journey.

A Shanti Cinta Mother’s Blessing includes traditional rituals & some I have created along the way. All held with so much love and care! Here is what it may entail (it can slightly differ depending on mama & how she feels comfortable):

~ sharing stories
~ flower & oil foot cleanse
~ creating blessing-way beads
~ tying us with a red thread
~ natural ultra sound (belly mapping & painting)
~ creating labour cards
~ oracle card blessings
~ blessingway poems
~ writing postpartum letters
~ connection & love community circle

The ceremony can be held at the mothers home or a loved ones, the main thing is that the mother feels safe and comfortable. There is also the option to hire an external space (I can recommend some beautiful spaces in and out of London). Wherever you choose the ceremony to be held I will arrive early and lay flowers, light candles, smudge the area and create a peaceful space that awaits the mama and her community of women.

This ceremony is very beautiful & special. One full of love and gratitude that will stay deeply rooted in the mothers heart!
