Ceremonies
In ritual we find beauty, purpose and power in a practice of honoring ourselves, our kin, and the world around us. By enlivening the liminal events in our lives through ritual and ceremony we strengthen our spirit and clarify our intentions for moving forward into new phases and identities. We can joyfully proceed into the unknown with the love, support, and blessings of our community to call upon whenever we are need.
*each offering is tailored specifically to the needs, desires, and cultural and spiritual customs of each client and are collaborative in nature. Some people will have a very specific vision that we will bring to life and others will prefer that we take a more active role in design. Most people will fall somewhere in the middle. We are happy to work anywhere along this spectrum.
Birth Blessings - a ceremony performed during pregnancy to honor the birthing person and prepare for labor
Closing the Portal - a ritual performed in the fourth trimester or beyond to honor and care for the body after birth
Alter dedications - creation of sacred spaces in the home or birthing space
Yoga
Fully and pleasurably inhabiting our bodies enriches our intuition and deepens our connection to kin and caregiving.
Private Sessions are designed for the birthing, caregiving body and tailored to the specific needs of each client. We will utilize props and abundant modifications to safely support pregnant and postpartum bodies. Bella’s movement practice is grounded in the wisdom of several different somatic modalities including dance, yoga, meditation, and martial arts.
