Also known as a “Mother’s Blessing” or “Blessingway,” it evolved from the ancient Navajo Tradition of creating ceremonies and rituals for the birthing parent-to-be, in a way that honors and celebrates their upcoming birth. Often times, taking the place of a conventional baby shower; where everyone’s focus is solely on the baby throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, society frequently forgets the important ‘vessel’ -the birthing parent. Every birthing person deserves to be honored, celebrated and empowered by a close group of people who will walk with you through this threshold from old to new. Your emotional well being is an integral part of the process, don’t forget your self-care. You aren’t indulging, you are investing in one of the most unforgettable chapters of your life!

In science, psychiatry, and in tradition it is a fact that one of the most important coping mechanisms for humans is, ritual.
The best part about this event is that it can be tailored to fit any birthing person’s needs. From any background, culture, religion or belief system. The best part is, you get to choose what will help fill your cup.
