Mother Blessing Ceremony
A Mother Blessing is a sacred ceremony that honours the profound journey of pregnancy and prepares an expectant parent for the transformative experience of welcoming a new life.
Drawing on years of experience facilitating these meaningful gatherings, I create a nurturing space where community comes together to surround the mother-to-be with love, wisdom, and support before their birthing journey begins.
Unlike conventional celebrations, Mother Blessings are an alternative that centre the emotional and spiritual preparation for birth and motherhood. Through carefully curated rituals and activities, we create a circle of strength that the mother can draw upon during labour, birth, and beyond.
What to Expect
Each Mother Blessing is thoughtfully customized to reflect your personal beliefs, values, and birth intentions. The ceremony typically includes:
A sacred circle formation connecting all participants
Heartfelt sharing of wisdom and encouragement
Meaningful rituals to build confidence and community
Blessings for a positive birth experience
Activities that create tangible reminders of support
Ceremonies last approximately 2 hours and are most intimate with up to 12 participants, allowing for meaningful connection among everyone present. (If your invite list is over 12 we can discuss further).

The Living Doula Difference
As an experienced facilitator of Mother Blessing ceremonies, I create spaces that honour the profound journey of bringing new life into the world. My approach weaves traditional wisdom with contemporary understanding to create ceremonies that respect and celebrate diverse experiences of pregnancy and parenthood.
What Sets Our Ceremonies Apart
Thoughtful Facilitation: With extensive experience guiding these sacred gatherings, I create a welcoming container where all participants feel valued, seen, and comfortable engaging in meaningful ways.
Personalised Rituals: Each ceremony is thoughtfully designed to honour your unique story, cultural background, and birth intentions—respecting that every path to parenthood is valid and worthy of celebration.
Lasting Impact: The community support generated during your Mother Blessing creates a foundation of strength you can draw upon during labour, birth, and early parenthood.
Affirming Approach: Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, whatever your family structure or birth preferences, the ceremony honours your authentic journey without judgment or assumption.
Beyond the Ceremony
The benefits of your Mother Blessing continue long after the gathering:
Birth Confidence: Many birthing people report entering labour with greater calm and assurance, carrying the collective strength of their circle with them.
Community Building: The ceremony often strengthens connections among your support network, creating more intentional and considered postpartum support.
Meaningful Keepsakes: You'll receive tangible reminders of the love and support shared—from blessing beads to affirmation cards—that can accompany you into your birth space.
Transformative Experience: Participants frequently share how the ceremony shifted their understanding of birth, community care, and the importance of honouring life transitions.
Investment in Your Birth Journey
A Mother Blessing is more than an event—it's an investment in your emotional wellbeing and birth experience. By creating this sacred space before your baby arrives, you're establishing a foundation for a supported transition into parenthood, surrounded by the wisdom and love of your community.

Testimonies:
“Charlotte is a woman's woman. She is deeply intuitive, perceptive and carries the precious knowledge of pregnancy, labour and postpartum to share with women around her. Charlotte's motherblessing ceremonies are an essential rite-of-passage for pregnant women and their loved ones. They draw on the deep knowing we all have, but that we have forgotten, that women should be together in the time of pregnancy and share with the birthing woman in the transformation she is undergoing. Charlotte attends to these ceremonies with beautiful care, taking in and drawing on important parts of the family and woman's experience. She is a beautiful gift to all women. - Steph Wescott
“I just wanted to share a huge thank you and acknowledge your incredible gifts for holding such a sacred and healing space for women to come together. I am just filled with so much love after the weekend, it was as if all my doubt and fear has been washed away and it’s really allowing me to step into motherhood with confidence and ease. You are so magical and the work you are facilitating is so important!” - Bridget Knowles
