Mother Blessing Ceremony

A mother blessing is inspired by the traditional Native American Ceremony ‘Blessing Way’ which originated by the Navajo tribe that celebrates the woman's transition from maiden to mother.

A Mother Blessing is a special gathering of women - the mothers support circle - who hold the pregnant mother in celebration, love, wisdom and ritual as she prepares to cross the threshold of birth.

A mother blessing is inspired by the traditional Native American Ceremony ‘Blessing Way’ , originating from the Navajo tribe, which celebrates a woman's transition from maiden to mother. 

It is a space where the Mother is reminded of her beauty, inner strength, and connection to all that Is. 

It is a space to release fears or burdens, so to cross the threshold unbridled.

It is a space to explore the feminine landscape and hold space for the transformation that this Mother is navigating. Oftentimes, I witnessed the healing potency of this gathering that ripples out to all the women gathered.  

It differs from a baby shower as it is more mother focused. 

This gathering can be the beginning of calling in your village of support for the tender weeks & months after birth. It is a beautiful opportunity to bring awareness to the significance of this rite of passage, and highlight some ways to care & support mothers after birth. 

Beautiful to receive in the 3rd trimester, an intimate gathering of your support circle, the women whom you feel connection and care from.

What the ceremony may look like:

There is no one way to hold a Mother Blessing. There are different elements that can be included and personalized to your preferences and desires. Some of the elements that we can weave into your Mother Blessing include: 

  • Grounding in practices / guided meditation 

  • Activities & rituals that offer celebration, connection, fear release, and encouragement for the upcoming birth, postpartum, and journey through motherhood

  • Circle sharing

  • Creative workstations where mother-focused gifts can be created and offered by the collective of women

  • Pampering with foot soaks, flower crowns, and herbal teas.

  • A 'Meal Train' can also be arranged in conjunction with this Mother Blessing

    "Tanya is the most kind, generous, gentle & nurturing woman who knows exactly how to support a postpartum mother. I felt so held, so supported, & completely safe in Tanya’s presence.

    She holds such wisdom in knowing how to nurture & nourish a mother physically, emotionally, energetically & spiritually.

    Her warm food is delicious. Her foot soaks, massages, & meditations feel beautifully indulgent yet connected & deeply intentional. And each time Tanya gifts you with her presence she so gracefully holds sacred space for you as the mother - offering her listening heart.”

    “Every visit we received from Tanya delivered exactly what we needed at that time and in that space. From doing our grocery shopping, to preparing the many nourishing meals, to offering cross-cultural rituals and practices, to just sitting with me and holding me in space when needed. 

You checked in almost every day and allowed me to lean on you through the many highs and lows. Particularly when I had concerns or worries regarding the many new obstacles motherhood brings. 

As a first time mum, you truly helped my transition into motherhood and I’m now left feeling supported, held, heard, nourished and prepared (well, as prepared as you ever can be with a newborn haha) for this next stage. “ - Mel

    “Tanya is an actual angel. Her energy and aura bring such an important element of ease and rest to the space. She is open and loving and this allowed me to express anything and everything to her. I know 100 percent that her care was pivotal in allowing me to deepen and take the space necessary to thrive postpartum. I felt held throughout the entire journey and she always shared so much wisdom at every stage. I am so grateful to know Tanya and to have received this gift of nourishment from her". - Meghan O’Malley

    “I absolutely loved my post partum time with Tanya. As a go-go person, it was deeply needed to help me slow down and heal and take care of myself. Tanya is so kind, warm and easy to talk to about anything. Her beautiful foot soak, moxi, help with caster oil packs etc was so wonderful, not to mention her delicious cooking and date milk.” - Dr Holly Davies
