Powerful Birth
Pregnancy Rituals
Birth is sacred and requires careful attention.
Pregnancy ceremonies date back to the times of our ancestors when all the women in the village would come together to shower the expectant mother with love, blessings, prayer, nourishment and support. I incorporate these into my services to reconnect with the spirit of all the mothers before us.
Sacred Cleansing Ritual
In this serene cleansing ritual, participants gather by a tranquil body of clean water, embodying purity and renewal. They are guided through a process of gently pouring water over their hands or immersing themselves, symbolizing the washing away of negative thoughts and fears related to childbirth. This symbolic act encourages a release of anxiety, fostering a sense of peace and readiness for the birthing process. The ritual is grounded in the belief that water, with its cleansing properties, can refresh the spirit and mind, creating a supportive space for embracing birth with confidence and calm. Participants leave the ritual feeling rejuvenated, with a renewed sense of trust in their natural birthing instincts.
Sacred Manifestation Ritual
In this manifestation ritual, families gather to harness the grounding and absorbing properties of various salts, blending them with essential oils and flowers to create a potent symbol of their hopes and wishes for childbirth. Each salt, chosen for its unique qualities, represents a different aspect of their desires—health, strength, serenity—while the essential oils and flowers add layers of emotional and spiritual significance. Participants take turns articulating their positive thoughts and intentions, infusing the salt mixture with affirmations of joy, confidence, and support for the pregnancy and birth journey. This tactile and olfactory ritual culminates in a shared commitment to maintaining a positive, nurturing environment, symbolically laying a foundation of love and well-being for the arriving child.
“My Doula was Isis. She was so supportive in my birth journey, she made my experience nothing short of amazing. She always made me feel safe and secure. There’s nothing I would’ve changed. She gave me so many helpful tips for labor and postpartum. The knowledge that she gave me not only did it help with my birth journey but I can carry the knowledge with me through life. I thank God I met her, she is truly amazing.”

“ Isis provided my husband and I with all the education we needed so we would be prepared advocate for ourselves if we needed to. Before this pregnancy I always worried I would be afraid and stressed the entire time based on my last delivery but during the pregnancy I didn’t feel that way. I wasn’t afraid.”
