LivModer Mother Blessing Ceremony

A mother blessing, can act as an important part of a woman's preparation for birth and motherhood.

A LivModer Mother Blessing Ceremony is a carefully crafted, intimate, sacred event taking place at the end of pregnancy.

It is a way to honour the profound impact of this time in a woman's life - the transformative journey she has been on, the threshhold where she is at, and the significance of what lies ahead.

Whatever her experience of pregnancy has been so far, or her feelings for the upcoming birth may be, this event aims to make the woman feel seen, supported and honoured, and leave her with a beautiful memory for life.

Each ceremony is different. Our conversation beforehand, allows me to create something suitable the individual woman.

Prices vary. Contact me for more information.

Livmoder Post Birth Healing Ceremony

Part ceremony, part bodywork.

A celebration of the rite of passage that the woman has been through.

A way to honour and integrate the physical, energetic, and spiritual changes

that have ocurred for her, through growing, carrying and birthing her child.

As a new mother there is naturally much focus outwards; on giving and being present and available to the baby's needs.

This is a sacred time-out to recieve and focus inwards.

When done at the end of the initial 6-8 week post birth healing period, it marks the end of the first tender postpartum phase, with its focus on staying in and resting. However, this session is open to any women who has given birth, regardless of how long ago.

If she feels a desire for this kind of care and attention, or if she has unresolved feelings from her birthing experience, this is for her.

A LivModer Post Birth Healing Ceremony includes setting of intentions, a yoni steam (herbal steaming for the vagina, pelvic floor and womb), healing touch and massage, wrapping of the body, sound and music and guided visualisations.

The whole session takes approximately 3 hours.

Price: 2700 kr (inc. vat).

"I felt she took me somewhere beautiful, powerful, a sacred place, like the top of a mountain, those places one gains insight from. She reminded me of the beauty and the immense importance of rituals to sign a passage.

This ceremony was like a space in between words, an open window of fresh air, the pause between notes. It was so needed and perfectly hand made with so much love and wisdom from Susannah. My post partum has been challenging and intense on the physical and emotional level […] i felt mostly weak and needy.

After the ceremony i felt collected again, with a great sense of power. Both owning the memories of my beautiful birth and the pain of the postpartum. Accepting my needs , soothing the angles of my experience.

Every mother should experience this, feeling like a queen in her own body (at a time when it is easy to feel like in a prison of pain and discomfort) […].

Guided by Susannah i felt both safe and understood profoundly. She held space for my silence, my growth, my pain and my joy. […] every detail was so special and well thought out, I can recall the smoke of the palo santo, the smell of the herbs for the steaming, the sound of the drum, the candle lights, my relaxed body being wrapped, the tenderness of her words. I feel so grateful." Giulia
