Blessingway Ceremonies

Practiced in many Native American cultures, the Blessingway Ceremony was traditionally held to honor major life transitions. During late pregnancy and to prepare for birth, an important rite of passage for women, a woman's close female friends would host a blessingway ceremony for her to honor her transition into motherhood. This initiation helps to prepare a woman physically, mentally and spiritually for her journey through birth and into motherhood. It allows her to strengthen her social support, which she will need to nourish her postpartum, and to deepen the bonds that she has with her community of support.

Feeling the lack of these important and life changing rituals and celebrations we have in our society, I aim to provide this opportunity to women and their communities. We can work together to create the right ceremony for you. The components of the ceremony are flexible and are not affiliated with any particular religious beliefs, but the ceremony itself is spiritual in nature. Although traditionally the Blessingway was comprised of only women, anyone that you wish to attend yours is welcome no matter their gender, religion, ethnic background or belief system.
