But specifically with pregnancy this practice can prepare your body, assist with letting go of fear, elevate your babies consciousness, and guide you through a journey of honouring the maiden to welcome in the mother.
Pregnancy is an initiation process for a woman. It’s a process of walking into the unknown, surrendering who you once thought you were, and welcoming...
The 3 Rituals that You May be Overlooking in Your Conception/Fertility Journey:
Conception/Fertility in my experience in more than balanced hormones and all of the “correct” metrics that come from blood panels. As we are energetic beings I believe there is more to CONCEIVING then just the right window of sexy time and happy hormones.
It’s been a journey one with loss, sadness, anger, fear, worry, confusion, joy, alignment, and the in between. My fertility journey left me wondering if I would ever be able to hold a baby full term. With the love and support from sisters around the globe I was blessed to share conversation about my journey. You can listen to them here:
