Offerings
Storytime /Birth Debrief
From one mama to another, I will hold space for your story.
No judgment, no opinions, just pure heart space for you to express your experiences in your journey.
Meals and Snacks
I am a qualified chef who utilises the health benefits of anti-inflammatory foods. I can deliver or prepare these delicious Vegan or Ayurvedic snacks, and meals in the comfort of your home. These meals will be filled with soul-filling nutrients and aid in the recovery of your postpartum phase.
Mamahood Massage
This massage entails an ancient ceremony called “closing of the bones”, where I will use different hand techniques to massage around the belly, hips and pelvic area to promote healing in the womb and hold space for any emotions associated with birth or motherhood. I will then wrap a traditional shawl called a Rebozo around your hips, legs, feet, shoulders, and head, to then start a gentle rhythmic rocking movement, which will help bring your body back into alignment. We are acknowledging the challenges you have gone through in pregnancy/childbirth and giving thanks to your womb for growing your baby and keeping it safe. The Mamahood massage is a beautiful, heartfelt massage to be received. You will walk away feeling grounded with a sense of calmness.
