During pregnancy time to rest and replenish is often sought but rarely found.

The process of receiving belly henna creates an opportunity where quiet and still is necessary.  The natural movement of breath and shifting baby is enough to absorb when drawing your personal design, so we advise that your henna is received in time alone, away from catch-ups and children, unless there is someone available to cater to your and your other child’s needs.  This then turns your focus inward to deeply rest and allow calm to flow.  Your henna design will incorporate significant symbols and messages, with any style, pattern and layout allowed, something we will discuss ahead of time.  The time-frame allowed is 1.5 hours and costs $100, but flexible with time and cost as you prefer.

If you’re planning a Baby Shower or Blessingway, we can come to your event creating a shared symbol for dear family and friends to bind your connection at this exciting and precious time.  We will recommend a time frame depending on numbers and design preference, but mostly suggest 1.5 – 2 hours.

Post-partum henna is a common and necessary part of care for our new mother in the early stages after a birth.  It is a tradition less utilised in the west, but thoroughly acknowledged in most parts of the henna world.  The vulnerable and  powerful position of a brand new mother is honoured through restorative henna application.  This serves to uplift the mother with beautification, similar to what she received as a bride, as well as allow rest and hence strengthening at a sensitive and fatigued time.  It is common practice to support a new mother with proper down-time when she has assistance around for her self, children, food preparation or chores.  Ensuring available time is allowed, we give care to the space needed to complete gorgeous henna for this iconic being.
