Traditional medicine acknowledges and marks rites of passage and cycles of life. Cultures across the globe marked seminal shifts in the lives of men and women with ceremony and support.
Why and how have we lost this in our current space and time?
The theme of "Maiden to Mother" has been percolating inside of me ever since giving birth 14 months ago. Traveling through the fires of hell and ecstasy of heaven to meet your child is a divine initiation. But why doesn't our culture ceremoniously honor this rite of passage?**
The deep change is glossed over with a glass of champagne, a couple weeks of maternity leave, and the promise that you'll "bounce back."
Bounce back to WHAT and WHO, I ask? To the former version of yourself?!?
To ALL Mothers: I am preparing a very special offering for YOU.
I am amalgamating my 10+ years of expertise as a practitioner of acupuncture & Traditional Medicine, extended studies and deep spirit work, and experience as a birthing mother to create a program that honors, supports and guides your passage from Maiden to Mother. Whether you are trying to conceive, are pregnant or have already birthed (a human or life-changing idea or thing), I have something for you.
** Note: This passageway isn't just for mama's of children; it is for all who evolve into the full season of their womanhood, and birth creations of all kinds. I'm simply writing this through the lens of my own experience of having a child.
Stay tuned! Mothers: I love you, I see you, I value you.
