the cradle with friends + family

Service Description

i will hold the space as a ceremony allowing your friends and family a chance to share their love and support for you as well as honour you. this is a space to invite your loved ones in and if need be, a place to release any emotions to move forward as an empowered and supported woman. i will chat with your friends and family first to let them know how they can be present. you will have your herbal bath ritual and then join. we will have a circle to share everyones blessings, then begin the massage, at the time of wrapping, your loved ones will take part here. we will share a poem, meditation and have hands holding you. to finish we will go round the group with some words of more love and support and then close. you may also like your friends to each bring a dish and then you can feast afterwards! this ritual is an homage to the traditions of women coming together after a woman has transitioned from maiden to mother to support her during one of the most important changes of her life. i have designed this ritual to help all women connect to their power centre, their womb. in truth, women are caregivers in so many ways and this is for all of you. whether you have given birth, adopted, had a surrogate, are a fur mom, a friend, a boss babe, a woman needing to release trauma, celebration of self > any woman, no matter your age! it is a supportive process for all women through life transitions. this ritual provides a space for physical nurturing, but also maybe more importantly, holds a space for whatever needs to be expressed, witnessed and released. on a physical level, the gentle rocking and wrapping helps healing by providing movement in the joints, muscles, tissues and fluids. on an emotional level it provides much needed space to simply rest and be and be held, as well as for emotions to be honoured, witnessed and released. on an energetic and spiritual level it can provide closure, a space to bring things to a close and move on. it is different for every person. for some people it is a joyful honouring, for others it is a space to acknowledge and let go of emotions. sometimes it is quiet and gentle, sometimes big emotions come out during the ritual. I will meet you where you are at, in that it won’t manifest anything you aren't ready to deal with. ** travel included within 40km of sherwood park, alberta. added travel cost will be calculated if outside of the allotted km's
