BELLY CASTING

A way to remember your baby's loving home for the first nine months of their lives. A plaster cast will be created of your belly as a keepsake for years to come. Can be decorated as wall art, used as a bowl in your home or used in newborn photographs. A perfect way to celebrate life and allow mom-to-be to relax and be pampered. Best to be done before 34 weeks, when baby wiggles around most.

A blessing way or mother's blessing is an intimate party inspired by an ancient Navajo ceremony called a blessing way. The ceremony is held to prepare an expectant mother for her upcoming birth journey — to shower mom-to-be with love, support and encouragement.

The idea of a blessingway is to celebrate the mother to be, and the growing life within her. At this celebration, mothers often get their bellies casted to have as a keepsake or decorated with aromatic henna. These services can be a part of a blessing way celebration or any other time.
