Nurturing Your Inner Wisdom
Workshop & Ceremonies
I hold a deep reverence for the power of ceremony as a sacred way to honour life’s transitions, those tender thresholds where healing, connection and transformation can naturally unfold. Whether you’re seeking to celebrate the journey into motherhood with a Mother Blessing, gather in a family holding ceremony, or connect through a pregnancy circle, I would be truly honoured to co-create a space that feels deeply nourishing and aligned with your unique path.
I currently hold Mama Tribes and pregnancy circles in Hastings Old Town, creating safe and supportive spaces for women to gather, share and be witnessed. I am also available to design more intimate and personalised ceremonies tailored to your individual needs, wherever you are in your journey.

Rebozo Ceremony/“Cerrada con Rebozo” also known as Closing of the Bones
This is a deeply nurturing postpartum ritual using the Rebozo, a traditional Latin-American woven shawl. Through gentle wrapping, holding and stillness, the body is invited to feel supported and contained after the openness of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood.
It offers a quiet moment to pause, receive care and honour the sacred transition into motherhood. This closing offers a ritualist way of marking an ending, gathering yourself back in and making space for whatever comes next. The ceremony is gentle, fully clothed and adapted to your body, your needs and your own story.
The Experience can include:
- Arrival, grounding & a gentle check-in
- Setting an intention for the ritual
- Rebozo wrapping and closing of different areas of the body
- Herbal bathing
- Quiet moments of stillness, rest & receiving
- A space to acknowledge your journey from birth into motherhood
- Optional meditation, breath, poetry, music or ritual
- Time to slowly unwrap, integrate & reconnect with yourself
- Warm tea and snacks to close the session.
The hips are known to be the area of the body where unresolved emotions and trauma are held, this causes blockages of energy channels and closing the bones can help to release these emotions. This ceremony is a deeply healing act of love and self-care to give to yourself or to gift to someone else.
The energetic Cerrada con Rebozo helps to calm the mind, align ideas and energies and to feel prepared to continue a new chapter.
The wrapping can be experienced around areas such as the head, shoulders, torso, hips and legs, always with your consent and adjusted for comfort. There is no single “right” way to experience the ceremony.
This ceremony can also be done on people who haven’t given birth and to wish to close something else in their life, as is not exclusive for birthing mothers, parents, or women. This ceremony can be for anyone who is going through or went through a traumatic or life changing experience such as marriage, divorce, separation, loss of job, moving homes, going into menopause, etc.
Every session is co-created with you in mind- tailored, meaningful and heart-centred, offered with love and reverence by myself.
