Who Should You Include in Your Mother’s Blessing?

A Mother’s Blessing is not just a gathering—it is a sacred ceremony, a portal to deep connection, and a moment of honoring the divine feminine. It is about weaving together a circle of love, support, and intention as a mother prepares to birth not only her baby but also a new version of herself. The people present play a crucial role in holding space, offering wisdom, and surrounding the mother with the kind of energy she needs as she steps into this next chapter.

Your Village: Inviting the Right People

A mother should invite the women she envisions as her village, currently during pregnancy and especially during postpartum. The ones who will walk beside her in the tender, transformative weeks after birth. These are not just acquaintances or family members by obligation, but the people she can be truly vulnerable with. The ones she can cry with, share her fears with, and lean on without hesitation. The ones who will clean her home without judgement, help her to the restroom, or see her breastfeed. 

Consider inviting those you would trust to know when you are in labor, the ones who would hold space for you without asking intrusive questions or placing their own expectations on your experience. The people who honor your journey, respect your choices, and uplift you without judgment currently. These are the ones to gather in your circle. These are your ride-or-dies, the souls who reflect back to you the strength, beauty, and power you may not always see in yourself.

The Energy of the Space: Setting Boundaries

A Mother’s Blessing is deeply rooted in energy. It is about creating a space that feels sacred, safe, and filled with love. This means being intentional about who is invited. Too often, mothers feel pressure to include people because of their title or out of obligation. Whether it be a relative, an old friend, or someone who may expect an invitation. But this is not a time for social expectations or unspoken rules. This is a time for prioritizing your emotional and spiritual needs.

Setting boundaries is an act of self-care. It is okay to choose not to invite someone if their energy does not align with the space you are creating. If someone has a history of overstepping, making moments about themselves, or bringing negativity, they do not belong in this sacred circle. A Mother’s Blessing is about cleansing, about creating an energetic environment that welcomes only warmth, encouragement, and reverence for the journey ahead.

Honoring the Sacred Feminine and Ancestral Connection

A Mother’s Blessing is more than a gathering—it is a calling upon the maternal ancestors, a tapping into the lineage of women who have birthed before us. It is about activating the divine feminine within and allowing the mother to feel held not just by those in the room, but by those who came before her. The people present should understand the depth of this experience, honoring it as more than just a ceremony, but as a rite of passage.

Choosing who to include in your Mother’s Blessing is an important decision when creating the experience you need. This is your time to feel safe, seen, and surrounded by those who genuinely celebrate you. Invite those who will nourish your spirit, respect your process, and walk beside you with love- not just on this day, but in the days, weeks, and months to come.

Trust your intuition. You know who belongs in your circle.
