Mother Blessing Ceremony

Inspired by a traditional Navajo ceremony called the Blessingway, a Mother Blessing is a celebration of new life; to honour and hold the mother-to-be as she walks the threshold between seasons of womanhood.

What is a Mother Blessing?

The ‘Mother’ archetype refers to the phase of a woman’s life after entering motherhood or birthing herself as a powerful woman (eg. late twenties). The Mother archetype is focused on nurturing, creativity, fertility and love. She is in full bloom and has reached a time of expansion in both her inner and outer worlds, allowing her the ability to radiate and receive loving energy harmoniously.

 A ‘Mother Blessing’ is a sacred ceremony that honours a pregnant woman’s rite of passage as she transitions from maiden to mother, or mother again. Unlike a baby shower, which is primarily focused on the impending arrival of the infant, a Mother Blessing is about celebrating the woman-of-honours journey to motherhood.

Soul sisters come together to hold space for the mother-to-be, showering her with love and support, to give her strength as she embarks on this life-changing journey. There is deep medicine in sitting in circle with your sisters. It’s the soul work that our ancestral lineage passed down to us to heal our Earth Mother and ourselves.

The structure of a Mother Blessing Ceremony

Each Mother Blessing Ceremony is tailored to the specific and individual needs of the sister I serve. As a guide, below is a structure of how a Mother Blessing Ceremony will flow:

  • “Beginning” – the sacred space will be “opened” by inviting each attendee to call themself present in the circle, to acknowledge their full devoted attention to the mother-to-be.
  • “Shifting” – the facilitator will state the purpose of coming together. Each attendee will introduce themself, to connect as a group, and set their intention for sitting in circle, to help the mother-to-be embrace the gifts of blessings, prayers and honour the group will bestow upon her. 
  • “Focusing” – the mother-to-be will be pampered with love and empowering energy, through ritual activities and encouraging stories shared to guide her on her journey ahead.
  • “Completing” – the circle will be completed with the chosen craft activities to affirm the work done in circle, send our good intentions into the world, and weave a web of connection for the mother-to-be beyond the day of ceremony.
  • “Feasting” – the ceremony is concluded by sharing food together to help ground everyone’s energy and shift from a sacred space back to a social space

Brigid Maiden Blessing

Blessings are a way to honour all rites of passage on our life journey as women. If you’re looking to celebrate a transformative time in your life, then the ‘Maiden Blessing’ is for you. I offer two options for the Maiden Blessing Ceremony.

Maiden Blessing

The ‘Maiden’ archetype refers to the phase of a woman’s life from her menarche (first moon) through her transformative early years of womanhood, on the journey to the mother archetype (or late twenties). The Maiden is all about enchantment and new beginnings, youthful ideas and enthusiasm. The Maiden phase is a period of exploration, discovery, self-expression, and creativity in a young woman’s life. A time to learn who she is  and celebrate her beauty along the way.

A ‘Maiden Blessing’ is a beautiful way to honour a special occasion, by harnessing the potent magic of circle medicine and sisterhood. A maiden blessing is an opportunity to be witnessed during your transformation and give thanks to the amazing woman you are becoming.

Brigid is the Celtic goddess associated with Spring, fertility and life. The Brigid blessing is a beautiful circle style ceremony, where women come together to hold space for the sister-of-honour and bestow love and blessings to mark her momentous life event.

Life phases that might call for the honouring of a Brigid Blessing ceremony:

  • Menarche (first menstrual bleed) ‘red tent’ blessing;
  • Birthday blessing (eg. 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th etc);
  • Bridal Blessing;
  • Or a big life change such as moving out of home, starting your dream career etc.

Or at any point in your life where you are feeling called to open the portal for growth, transformation and the receiving of love and support from sisters.

Just like the Danu Mother Blessing, the Brigid Maiden Blessing can be facilitated as a Basic or Deluxe Ceremony. If you’re looking for something customised don’t hesitate to get in contact.

I felt really in balance and calm at the end of the session...

My internal pelvic release session with Roxanne was exactly what I needed. I was in need of some self care, time to connect back to myself and some physical work after the birth of my second child. Roxanne is professional but also friendly and easy to build rapport with. She ensured I was comfortable and thoroughly explored my feelings and concerns I wanted addressed at the start of the session. The internal pelvic release work was wonderful and I felt really in balance and calm at the end of the session. I felt more connected to myself and my feminine energy. I highly recommend Roxanne and think it’s an amazing service to be offering people.

I felt safe, held and nurtured during and after my sessions

I have received 3 Womb Care Ceremonies from Roxanne and absolutely loved them! Roxanne is so warm and inviting and made me feel completely as ease. The ceremony itself was incredibly thoughtful and I felt safe, held and nurtured during and after my sessions. As a body worker myself I couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re seeking fertility support, pregnancy or post natal care, or wanting to connect and nurture your innate wisdom as a woman I highly recommend Roxanne’s services. I look forward to watching her business grow and look forward to working with her in the future again.

...an incredible gift in supporting women in every single way possible

Roxanne played a pivotal role in holding space for me during the hardest healing process of my life. Roxanne has an incredible gift in supporting women in every single way possible. Her studio is incredibly comforting, ambient and needs to be seen to truly understand just how special. Roxanne’s oils, candles & yoni steam herbs are my favourites. I truly believe that Roxanne helped me realease so much trauma, and in turn helped me create the space I needed to throughly enjoy my pregnancy. You’re a real life angel Roxanne.

... the single smartest investment I’ve made for myself and my relationship

The Preconception Circle is the single smartest investment I’ve made for myself and my relationship. Not only did it give me the space and time I needed to work through some incredibly challenging themes, the love and support I received from all the women in our circle, bolstered my courage to do the hard work.

After 20 years of ambivalence, I know 100% in my heart that I want to become a mother and that my spirit babe is ready for me! And now I have a community of women who love and support each other and who meet with openness and love.

I feel so blessed.

I was able to go into birth feeling confident and educated...

Roxanne was the most amazing doula. She was exactly what I needed for my first pregnancy and birth. I was able to go into birth feeling confident and educated about the process (which was helpful as I gave birth with Covid). Roxanne also offered a lot of insight into the spiritual side of pregnancy and birth which was highly appealing to me. Her support and friendship was exactly what I needed post birth. I would highly recommend Rox as a doula as she will make your experience really special.
