A unique occasion is created with this ancient custom that glorifies womanhood & showers a mother with blessings. This ceremony gathers friends & family in a sacred circle to honor a woman's transition into motherhood as a rite of passage with a series of interactive rituals. A woman in the late stages of pregnancy needs to be nutured. Her blossoming body, the approaching labor of birth & challenge of raising a child can be quite overwhelming. She needs a lot of reassurance & pampering. This magical celebration will calm her mind & lift her spirits. She will feel embraced by her loved ones & come away empowered to brave a journey of birth before her. Each ritual bestows upon the mom-to-be a symbolic message of love & support. Mariaina Winterbotham has led many ceremonies since 1995. In hopes of sharing this tradition with everyone & enhancing the experience of a baby shower she has created Unique 4 Baby. Her passion led her to design an easy-to-follow guidebook & ceremony supply kit to lead a Blessingway at any baby shower. www.unique4baby.com.
