At Kindred Ceremonies, one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work as a celebrant is creating unique, heart-centered ceremonies that truly reflect the essence of the people involved. As a creative soul who has spent years capturing human stories through various forms of art, I find immense joy in offering ceremonies in Los Angeles that honor life’s most important transitions—birth, marriage, and even the quiet moments in between. One of these special milestones is the Mother Blessing.
A Mother Blessing is a beautiful alternative to the traditional baby shower, focusing less on gifts and more on the mother-to-be’s emotional, spiritual, and physical journey as she prepares for childbirth. Typically held during the third trimester, just a week or two before the expected due date, the Mother Blessing is a meaningful way to celebrate the expectant mother and provide her with the support she needs for the transformative journey ahead.
Having come from a background in theater and film, I’m no stranger to storytelling, especially here in Los Angeles. I love learning about people—their passions, quirks, and truths—and crafting a ceremony that reflects who they are. When I sit down with a mother-to-be to plan her Mother Blessing, I gather all the little details that make her unique. Maybe she’s a nature lover, deeply spiritual, or simply in need of a space to breathe in the love surrounding her. I collect these pieces of her story and weave them into a ceremony that reflects the sacredness of this time in her life, something we at Kindred Ceremonies pride ourselves on.
For me, as a Virgo and a bit of a perfectionist, I want every moment of the Mother Blessing ceremony to feel just right—filled with meaning, beauty, and purpose. I also know that life is unpredictable, so I always embrace the present, allowing the ceremony to unfold naturally. A Mother Blessing with Kindred Ceremonies is deeply personal and intimate, filled with affirmations, rituals, and wisdom shared by those closest to the mother-to-be. Together, here in Los Angeles, we create a safe and nurturing environment where love, family, and community come together to celebrate the arrival of new life.
What to Expect from a Kindred Ceremonies Mother Blessing, Los Angeles
Our Mother Blessings are flexible, lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the number of guests and your personal preferences. The ceremony is designed to be:
Intimate: Guests gather in a circle to share readings, participate in meditation, and exchange personal stories and wisdom.
Relaxed: The mother-to-be is pampered with massages, tender care, and a shower of emotional support from those who love her.
Creative: Guests engage in meaningful activities like making bracelets, applying temporary tattoos, painting nails, or styling hair—all while building a sense of community and connection.
Informative: Kindred Ceremonies provides carefully chosen readings, poems, and blessings, as well as traditional, cultural, and historical insights to enrich the experience.
This sacred time together allows the expectant mother to feel empowered, supported, and surrounded by love, making her transition into motherhood smoother and filled with positivity. A Mother Blessing is more than a celebration—it’s an opportunity for connection, healing, and a powerful reminder of the strength and beauty in the journey of motherhood.
Let’s mark this moment in a way that is as extraordinary as the life it honors.
With love and light,
Delilah Gyves
