The Rebozo ceremony is an invitation to slow down.

A moment to pause, to look within, to feel, to let go, and to honour a transition.

It is probably one of my favourite rituals, simply because of how gentle and profoundly powerful it is.

We begin by setting an intention, taking a moment to connect with ourselves and with whatever is ready to be acknowledged. And we prepare an herbal bath using plants carefully selected for their therapeutic properties.

Next comes the first Rebozo, gently wrapped around the head. Sometimes silence naturally settles in. Other times, we keep talking a bit 🥰

A slow, nurturing abdominal massage, essential oils, carefully chosen crystals… and then the wrapping. Like being rocked. A cocoon. A space to come back to yourself, to feel held, grounded, and whole.

Thank you Chloé for welcoming me into your beautiful home ❤️.

She gave birth between two curtains. There wasn’t a single birth room available…

Another woman might have panicked. She simply disconnected from everything around her so she could truly connect within.

It couldn’t have been easy (though you would never have guessed it). There were so many distractions: the bright lights, the constant movement, all the people around her in a space that wasn’t even really a room.

She put her headphones back on as they kept slipping off, turned up the audio of her HypnoBirthing relaxation track, and asked that either her husband or I stay in constant physical contact with her so she could feel grounded, safe, and supported.

Then she went inward, to meet this new little soul, Alma, and gently help her make her way into this life.

She got onto all fours on what could hardly be called a bed, breathed her baby down instead of listening to the repeated instructions to push, and welcomed her into her own arms, surrounding her with love.

Later, she told me she had prepared herself for every possible scenario—even the possibility of giving birth between two curtains if another war with Iran broke out and the maternity ward became overwhelmed.

A true Israeli Gibora.

The Bessin - Abensur family, thank you for trusting me once again, after the birth of your beautiful Livia a few years ago. You allowed me to show you that birth can be something very different from what we are so often led to expect, something far more peaceful, powerful, and instinctive.

I love you. Mazal tov! ❤️
