Birth is wild and unpredictable and sometimes things do not go the way we planned. This small ceremony is designed to help the Mother and family heal from what they deem as a traumatic birth experience. There are no rules or guidelines from me as to what qualifies as “traumatic”, it is completely at the discretion of the Mother and family. During this 2 hour ceremony in your home, the Mother is given time to process and grieve her first experience and lay claim to a new birth. As your guide we discuss the layout for your ceremony and what elements you’d like to incorporate. For some families that is specific prayers, poems, or music. As each birth is unique, each Reclamation Ceremony is also unique to you and Rachel will help you build your script. Included in this service: 1 Hour virtual consultation to discuss your script and plan 1 smudge stick to cleanse the space Birth tub rental 1 postpartum herbal bath and decorative flowers for the ceremony LED candle rental Facilitation of the ceremony Footprint sheet and ink *Client responsible for providing postpartum meal (typically a soup)
