✨What is a blessing way?

✨A Blessing Way is an ancient Navaho tradition of bringing love and intention to a mother-to-be, so she may enter labour and new motherhood unbridled.
It is part of the honouring of the transformation a woman goes through each time she becomes a mother.
It is about connecting this mother-to-be to her tribe of women so we may help her release any fears and prepare for birth. Whilst offering her our energy to connect to and draw upon when she needs it.

✨Activities that may be included in a blessing way:

Making a Bead necklace
Making Flower crowns
Candle / light a blessing ceremony
Massaging the mama to be
Burning of fears
Binding of wrists
Sound healing
Readings / meaningful words

✨Each Mother blessingway is unique and tailored for the Mama to be. I am intuitively guided by the energy in the group on the day, so that the Mama to be can feel the love and support around her.

✨You will be held, nurtured and honoured on your journey into Motherhood.

✨If this is something that aligns with you or you’d like to organise a blessing way for a loved one, please get in touch.

Please see the link in my bio for more info!

With Blessings,
Marisa 💖

✨Postpartum Doula Update

All good things must come to an end, and sadly it is time to hang up my doula basket.

It has been such a beautiful + rewarding journey to support newborn mums for the last 7 years.
Supporting them as they transition into motherhood, nourishing them with lovely meals + pampering with massages/healings.

Unfortunately it’s now time for me to finish this rewarding + very sacred role.
My life has taken a little bit of a detour, where I now need to support more than just my own little family.

To be able to support my loved ones, run a massage business, raise 2 teenagers and care for myself I needed to let go of something in my life.

This has been a hard decision for me, Because I love caring for Mums and supporting them in the way they truly need to be supported in the early days of Postpartum. As I know very well how hard it is in those early days on postpartum.

I must honour what is right for me. I know I can’t hold the space that beautiful newborn mothers truly deserve.
As they deserve the presence, love and support of someone who can fully commit and be there for them. I’m not in the place to do that right now.

I want to thank all of the beautiful families I’ve worked with, and colleagues who have supported me on my postpartum doula journey.

To my past and present postpartum doula clients:

I will never forget the beautiful Mamas /families I’ve met and worked with, you’ll always have a special place in my heart..
Thank you for this beautiful opportunity to allow me to support and nourish you when you were most vulnerable.
Each and everyone one of you made me a better human and hold a special place in my heart.

With love and blessings

✨Binding of wrists is just one of sacred rituals we do in a Mother’s blessing way.

💛It connects all the women together in the circle. When the women in the circle look the bracelet, they send the mother to be loving thoughts.

✨The Mother to be can then draw love, strength + wisdom from all women in the circle when she is in labour.

💛When the baby is born the thread is cut, symbolically cutting the umbilical cord.

How special and sacred is that?
