Honour the
Sacred Rite of Passage
of Maiden to Mother

Postpartum care is offered in Waiheke Island, Aotearoa.
The Pregnancy & Postpartum Journey
Here’s a list of intentional offerings for new mothers that are offered from the last few months of pregnancy to the first 40 days & beyond.
-
We meet before 30 weeks of pregnancy to talk through your needs, and what support could look like once you're earthside with your newborn.
This 30 minute meeting is free so we can get to know each-other & see if it’s the right fit. If it’s feeling good, together we start shaping a postpartum plan built around you.
-
A sacred gathering to honour you before birth, held by the women who love you most. A blessing way ceremony celebrates you, the mother, as you cross into this new rite of passage.
A Mother Blessing could look like:

• Sealing intentions with the ancient red thread ritual
• Gentle positive birth storytelling & guided visualisation
• Cacao ceremony & dance
• Belly art
