​                                  Perinatal Ceremonies for Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting

Ceremony is a potent tool for navigating personal and cultural initiations. Whether you are calling in your future child (through various fertility modalities), stepping into birth or parenting, single or partnered, experiencing the grief or ending of a pregnancy, or working as a birth professional, ceremony is rooted in what we all need: Connecting with all our relationships in community for our own benefit and the benefit of all.

In ceremony, you have the opportunity to enliven your relationship with family, community, ancestors, the earth, water, sky, sun and loving wisdom sources, while:

Creating a container for recognizing and honoring  the transition you are in
Claiming your intentions for growth and seeking and receiving support for them
Practicing ceremony in a way that reflects and resonates with your heart, culture and vision.
Feeling safe to access the vast, liminal space encountered in birth, death and all life passages.
Releasing that which does not serve you.
Calling in familiar and new strengths, support systems and setting your intentions for moving forward
Opening, receiving and transforming.​
Celebrating and nourishing your body with food!
