A Mama’s Blessing, also known as a blessingway, is an opportunity to create a moment in time that celebrates and honours a pregnant woman and her journey into birth. This ritual is derived from a Navajo tradition that recognises and celebrates the journey of pregnancy, birth and the transition into mamahood as a momentous occasion in a woman’s life. It is a celebration of pregnancy and birth as a sacred and unique journey where the collective energy of loving women can help guide the mother through birth.

A Mothers Blessing differs from a baby shower as it focuses on the mothers experience; of the journey she will go on, how those around can support her. Close family and friends become part of your circle to shower you with words of support, wisdom and love. They will create and craft items that will give you strength throughout your pregnancy, birth and beyond.
