Menarche

Celebrating the entry of young girls into adult womanhood has a positive effect on a woman's relationship with menstruation. There will undoubtedly be a big difference between a girl who looks forward to her first period and one who wishes it never came. When the first words are more of an informational nature, devoid of the deep meaning of bleeding, it is not so easy to build a positive relationship with the period. Sometimes the first associations we learn with a period are: pain, fatigue, tenderness, intensity, limitations in sports or swimming. But it doesn't have to be that way. During this ceremony, there is time to talk about periods and patiently answer any questions. It's a time for a girl's night out for all generations, a time to show care with massages, spas, and special gifts. Menarche creates a safe space and time where a girl is accepted into a circle of adult women. It has a positive influence on growing up, healthy self-esteem, and a healthy attitude towards one's own body. Menarché can also be arranged for adult women who would like to polish their relationship with menstruation and the issue of womanhood in this way. It is also suitable for the return of menstruation after a long absence due to long term illness for example. It is also suitable for girls who have been anxiously awaiting their first period for several months and feel that all their friends have already had theirs. It is incredibly beneficial for every creature and the Earth to feel accepted, for women this need is very strong. Feeling accepted is one of the most beautiful gifts we can give our daughters, nieces, granddaughters, friends and other women.

Support to conceiving a baby

This session consists of an introductory talk, a belly massage to promote fertility, heat delivery to the kidney area and a beautiful symbolic ritual at the end. The talk will help us to better assess the situation and whether we need to focus more on the body or on the emotions, or perhaps on a different timing of lovemaking. The belly massage focuses on the uterus, ovaries and their appendages. I will either be able to relax them myself or recommend someone more knowledgeable. Warming and delivering heat to the kidneys throws up more of an Ayurvedic practice for a change. Rituals help us to better anchor in the subconscious mind that we have just crossed a milestone. This is very conducive to the dream outcome. I can't promise you a guaranteed result, but I will do my best. This ritual has excellent results in the country where it originated, Mexico. And I'm happy to be able to give it to you.

Antenatal

The pre-natal ritual is a celebration of a woman's own fertility, her willingness to become a mother and sharing the joy of a new soul coming into the world. It is a celebration with ceremonial elements rather than one long ritual. However, this does not detract from the depth of the experience of this special occasion. The timing is appropriate after the completion of the first trimester to the end of pregnancy. For this purpose, I recommend inviting your loved ones with whom you want to share the joy of your pregnancy to the celebration. The number of people attending does not matter, what is important is that they are people with whom you feel relaxed and comfortable. Partner, family, friends, all together, circle of closest friends, maybe enriched by your mother and grandmother, aunt. From experience, I can recommend inviting just the older women of the family folk. Because maybe through a ceremonial celebration with you of something so joyful and beautiful you can find your way to each other. There can be a spontaneous passing on of responsibility and wisdom to a new generation, often non-verbally. There can be healing of the family line, perhaps your mother or grandmother didn't have the opportunity to have such a celebration and can nurture her feelings and memories through you. Alternatively, if you feel that the company of anyone is not at all suited to your needs right now, it may be possible to meet just between 4 eyes. The prenatal ritual is also used in some cultures to announce pregnancy.

  • celebration of fertility and womanhood
  • sharing with and blessing loved ones
  • a sense of community, support and security that helps natural pregnancy and childbirth

Postnatal

This ritual is exclusively for the woman after childbirth. Preferably towards the end of the sixth week, effective until about one year after childbirth. It serves to close the topic of childbirth. You are alone in the ritual, without baby or partner. It is the last space of time where you let go of the woman you were before giving birth. It is a place where you can pay tribute and give thanks that you survived and made it through the birth. Thanking your body for managing to nourish and carry the baby. Thanking each contraction for helping the baby into the world, coming to terms with the pain you experienced, and most importantly breathing a deep sigh of relief. The entire ritual is guided to deep rest, respect for the amazing female body, and physical support for the wrapping of the uterus and pelvic bones. Included is sharing, or partial sharing of the birth story, a sit down with cocoa or good tea, massage as needed, and a bone closing ritual. The wrapping helps the woman on all levels, emotional and physical... and I believe on the mental as well.

  • wrapping the uterus
  • closing the chapter of pregnancy and childbirth
  • recovering respect for yourself and your body

Closing/Opening bones

The rituals of closing and opening bones are among the oldest knowledge in the world, usually passed down by grandmothers, more often midwives. It remains a very lively tradition in Mexico and in the South American countries. In the Czech Republic it has been used and rediscovered as "Zavinování". In English "Closing Bones" or Rebozo ritual. Rebozo or Manta is the Latin American name for the traditional scarves used in this ritual there. In the Slavic tradition, the name Svivalnik or Pinta is used for this wrapping scarf. In Spanish, "Cerrada", "Encaderamiento" or "Manteo". I would be grateful if any of you can think of a similar name in Norwegian and let me know. The ritual is initially intended for women after childbirth to support the wrapping of the uterus. But it has proven to be a form of rite of passage for many other life events. And actually not just for women, men can also come if they feel the need to close a chapter in their life or to encourage a new one. The opening ritual is deliberately included in the title of the ritual. The rituals are almost similar, sometimes both are performed in one ceremony. Closing serves to say goodbye and consign everything that no longer serves us to the past. Typically, for example, after giving birth, after a traumatic event, after a divorce, after the death of a loved one, after a miscarriage, or just feeling that you have to close the previous chapter of your life for good. In opening the bones, on the other hand, we are stirring up a long stagnation in our lives, encouraging us into life, or welcoming us into a new stage. Opening the bones is typical, for example, when preparing a young girl for her period, can be used in creative block for artists and writers, or when we have long dreamed of our own project, event, business...but still haven't decided to take the first step. The time of the ritual cannot be fixed, it depends very much on the topic and how much burden one brings with them. Ritual is not a self-saving tool. Your commitment to change, your openness and trust in the ritual, and your willingness to let your emotions come through is also important, as with any medicine.

  • closing old chapters
  • return to yourself and deep rest
  • feelings vaguely reminiscent of being in the womb
