Soul Flow Birthing Ceremony
Empowering, honouring and celebrating women in their pregnancy and birthing journey.
This ceremony is to prepare and connect mother and baby for the birthing journey they’re about to embark on together. Through ceremony, ritual and spiritual practices we help the mother feel connected to her baby, empowered in her ability to birth and supported practically and emotionally.
We offer practical tools and natural solutions for pain relief, promoting feelings of calm and for having a powerful birthing experience. This ceremony can be done with your partner, your sisterhood or alone and is best done closer to the birth (at some time in the 3rd trimester).
Soul Flow Birthing Ceremony includes:
- A caring and nurturing facilitator leading the ceremony (or 2 facilitators if you choose to add on the Sound Healing)
- Welcome prayer thanking the custodians of the land and calling on the energy of the ancient ancestors to support the ceremony about to take place.
