Mother Blessing Ceremony

A Mother Blessing is a sacred ceremony, traditionally known as a Blessingway by the Navajo Native Americans.

Hayley holds deep reverence for the traditional origins of this ceremony and respectfully pays tribute within the ceremony.

The ceremony honours and celebrates the expectant mother and prepares her for the journey of birth and motherhood. 

Unlike a baby shower that focuses more on the baby and gifts for the baby, a mother blessing is an opportunity to bless the mum-to-be and shower her with love, support and encouragement so that she feels safely held by her community before she transitions through the rite of passage of birth. 

Cost: $350 + additional costs for some of the equipment required for use within the rituals.

What's included in the fee?

  • Discussion and preparation of the ceremony

  • A Mother Blessing uniquely designed to your wishes, the duration of the event runs for approximately 1.5 - 2 hours.

CLIENT LOVE

“Thank you for holding space for me on such a special day. The Mothers Blessing that you held for me was such a beautiful ceremony. You're such a kind and warm soul and you blew me away with how special it was. I feel like you were an old friend the way you spoke and how you tailored the ceremony to and around my life. Now that I've had my bub I still think of that day often and feel so blessed to have had you there.”
