Mothering — A Rite of Passage
Traditionally a Navajo ritual, the Blessingway spiritually supports and empowers the new mother as she begins her journey into motherhood. Adapted as an alternative to baby showers, it focuses on the mother rather than the gifts or baby. Celebrations often include sharing positive birth stories, inspiring poems, henna art, pampering with foot baths or massages, and blessings, songs, and prayers.
Prenatal Yoga
From $80.00
Prepare Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually for the Transformation of Birth
Schedule a private or group prenatal yoga session with Tawny Sterios, Hatha yoga teacher and Doula for over 14 years, and receive a guided practice that focuses on the physical and metal benefits of the yoga. Learn how yoga can powerfully support women through both their labor and birthing journey.
“Words can’t express what a magical and sacred experience the Blessingway was for me. It was everything I hoped of, it felt so much love + support + left with the fullest heart. It is something I will hold dearly forever. Thank you for leading such a special circle, for your calm energy and for the meaningful intimate space you facilitated”
“Good beginnings make a positive difference in the world, so it is worth our while to provide the best possible care for mothers and babies throughout this extraordinarily influential part of life.”

Labor Doula
Postpartum Doula
What is a doula
“Having Tawny as my doula for the birth of my son Louie was the best part of my birth plan. She has a gentle, kind, and peaceful spirit that brought calmness to my 35 hour labor. She guided my partner and I through each contraction and helped ease the pain naturally with applying pressure to my back and the use of essential oils. When the pain from my back labor became too strong and all natural methods were tried, she support my decision for an epidural. With suggestions from her, I was able to birth my son without the use of pitocin! My partner and I are forever grateful that she will always be part of our birth story.”
