Ceremonies
We are forever changed by the birth of our children. In creating ceremony around the arrival of our babies, we honour and cherish the beautiful ripples that they create.
Placenta/Whenua Honouring
Your whenua/placenta is a wonderful organ that has supported and nourished your baby for ten moons in mama's womb. I can help you in your choice to honour your baby's whenua by creating and facilitating a unique Whenua Honouring Ceremony that is perfectly suited to you and your whanau.
Whitu Takai (Closing The Bones)
Closing The Bones is a postnatal healing ritual . It's a way of nurturing the body, quieting the mind and nourishing the soul.
When we are pregnant and are giving birth our bodies expand and grow, opening on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. A Closing The Bones ritual helps bring mother back to her centre. It is an opportunity for mama to release emotion in a safe, nurtured space, often without the need for words.
This ritual is often carried out in conjunction with a Birth Trauma Healing session, but can be equally powerful on its own.
