LIFE IS A CEREMONY
Rituals have become a non-negotiable part of my lifestyle. The non-negotiables recently include, going to the gym, practicing yoga and meditation, slow mornings, savoring a coffee/tea/cacao outside in silence, dancing and other forms of sensuality and erotic practices. Anything that you can do for yourself can be considered a ritual, such as having a bath or lighting a candle. There are so many opportunities. It is all about your intention and presence with the rituals that you incorporate into your daily routine.
Rituals are a sacred pause where you have the opportunity to become intimate with yourself, with life itself.
Rituals will be woven into our sessions during our time together. I will also suggest some rituals that you could utilize to connect with yourself and with your family.
I believe life in general is a ceremony and when you treat each moment as a ritual and is celebrated, your mindset begins to shift.
CEREMONIES
Ceremonies are offered and facilitated throughout your pregnancy and postpartum. Ceremonies can also be purchased by women who haven’t purchased any of the packages and services I offer. Contact me for further information and a quote as the costs are dependent on the amount of people present and your individual requirements.

A beautiful ceremony takes place, traditionally with the pregnant woman and her friends and family. It is similar to a baby shower, however this is more of a sacred and intentional journey, where the expectant mother is adorned with flowers, touched and embraced by the special women in her life. There is also a sharing circle, offering gratitude and love. The focus is placed more on the pregnant woman rather than on the baby, celebrating her and how she is being initiated into motherhood.
Depending on the amount of people present, the ceremony may be guided for 2 or 3 hours.
It is commonly done with only women, however the soon to be father can also be celebrated and shown love in the presence of men, not just women.

The 2-3 hour ceremony is offered during postpartum with the use of a Rebozo, a shawl that is traditionally used in Mexico. The ceremony celebrates the woman’s initiation and embodiment into motherhood. It allows the new mother to integrate her birth experience, to be seen, felt and nurtured by the special women in her life, whilst allowing her body to become realigned and balanced.

A ceremony will take place for about an hour, either with the extended family and close friends or just with the immediate family. The placenta will be buried in the garden under your favorite tree, or if you would like to buy a tree to plant you could also do this. Art can also be incorporated into the ceremony as a way to further connect with the placenta and it’s blood. A sharing circle will also take place to cultivate gratitude for the placenta that provided nourishment for your baby whilst being within the womb.
