Birth Blessings

Birth Blessings are an alternative to the typical baby shower, an opportunity to celebrate and honour a woman and her journey into birth and motherhood. We centre the mother and aim to strengthen the support she’ll receive from her ‘village’ with her closest friends and family, guiding the support towards her.

Blessings are bespoke and planned together with the mother-to-be. You choose the mood! It could include readings, poems, singing, sharing of positive birth / motherhood stories, affirmation writing, nest sorting, massage and nurturing, henna bumps, journaling, sharing food, laughter (maybe tears closed) and anything else you'd like.

As celebrant, my role is to plan the ceremony along with the mother or a close friend, help take care of practicalities and assist in sourcing items, invite guests and prepare the space. On the day I will help setting up and down, guide the ceremony and hold space for all those attending.

As the ceremonies are bespoke, it's up to you how much you want to spend! I have an hourly rate of £35 pounds for planning and prep plus a celebrant fee for an average 4-hours (2 hour ceremony plus set up and down) of £200. This could be longer or shorter if you wanted. Some key items will be provided buy me a standard, but there would be additional costs for sourcing items if needed.
