My birth reclaiming blessing creates a sacred space that nurtures the mother and family, and embraces the highs and lows of each pregnancy and birth journey. A ceremony can take place weeks or years after a mother has given birth, usually taking place in your home, or somewhere in nature you cherish.

Each unique and nurturing ceremony meets a largely unmet need in our society, to facilitate healing and bring closure to the childbirth chapter of a woman’s motherhood story. This simple yet powerful moment can change how a woman views her birth and her body. No two reclaiming ceremonies are exactly alike, just as no two mothers or birth experiences are exactly alike. Each ceremony can be entirely tailored to whatever you feel called to address, let go of or celebrate.

Your feelings about your birth are so valid. Often we are told to just ‘be grateful’ for a healthy baby, which can feel dismissive of any pain or sadness we may have about our birth, and increase shame. My years of experience in all birth setting and postnatal birth debriefing, aids me to be a friendly support and a ‘grief guardian’ to walk you through revisiting and letting go of any birth trauma or disappointments. I am passionate about holding a space which empowers you on your birth reclaiming journey.

However your baby was birthed, this is an unhurried opportunity to revisit the moment you met. Perhaps you didn’t get to have skin to skin, cut baby’s cord, or gently explore and discover your baby. I will help you create a cosy space in time, in which you can recreate any special memories you would like, to release any emotions you are holding onto, and to step forward in a new power as parents.

Each ceremony can be created around you, your story and what your soul longs for, but some ideas for your ceremony may be

~Run a bath or pool, relax with flowers and your baby

~Enjoy Rebozo massage and a closing the bones ceremony

~Write your birth story, to bury, burn or read to your baby

~Chat about your favourite birth moments with your baby

~Remember and honour a baby that couldn’t stay Earthside with you

~Enjoy a guided meditation written for you by me

~Recreate the moment you met your baby, your way

~Cut a symbolic handmade cord, releasing and healing any missed chances

~Wash away regrets or sadness, give your baby a feed, or just enjoy skin to skin

This special ceremony is a way of celebrating the powerful journey you have walked, carrying, birthing and nurturing your baby. Even if your birth was everything you had hoped for, this is an opportunity to celebrate your power, honour your body and mark the arrival of your baby in a sacred and special way.

I feel so passionate about holding this space for you, and if you would like to share this ceremony with me, or gift it to a loved one, please get in touch.
