Henna Creatrix
Henna is a beautiful art medium that is applied to the skin as art, that dates back as far as 3000 BCE, and has been found independently in many cultures, particularly in desert climates. Henna has been used in many different ways, from traditional bridal and wedding henna, fun parties and tents at the fair, to eyebrows and faux freckles!
I fell in love with Henna after receiving a beautiful belly blessing at my own Mother's Blessing from a fellow doula and friend. I just knew this was something I wanted to learn and offer to my clients!
Ever since then I have been adorning sweet bellies full of growing and squirming babes, and even the feet or hands of Mother's Blessing/Baby Shower guests!
Now for the actual henna application. My custom designs are hand drawn, applied and resemble the way you would decorate a cake! The henna paste dries on the skin and will often begin to crumble and flake off on its own. After a few hours (4-12), the dried henna is rubbed off and leaves behind a beautiful stain. Henna naturally stains orange/red at first and the color darkens over the following 24-48 hours as the stain oxidizes on the skin. Henna stains remain on the skin and fade over the course of 7-14 days, and it's longevity will depend on aftercare!

Belly Blessing
Belly Henna is my specialty. A sacred ceremony, where I adorn full bellies with cooling and aromatic henna paste, as we talk about pregnancy, birth, motherhood and the journey ahead!
Gentle music will play as baby kicks, squirms and rolls, while I weave a beautiful design.
It's about more then just the creation on your belly though; it's about showing you how important you are, how deserving you are - to take the time to put up your feet and do something special just for you!
