Blessingway Ceremony
A Blessingway Ceremony is a beautiful way to honour the changes taking place in a woman's body as she brings forth new life. Based on the Navajo tradition of bestowing good luck and positive energy on those embarking on a journey of transition, modern Blessingway Ceremonies can be adapted to fit any spiritual tradition. They are a delightful alternative or compliment to traditional baby showers and are a great way to show love and support. Blessingway Ceremonies are very personalized events and like our babies, they are all unique. For more information, please e-mail me at beth.murch@gmail.com or call me at 519-998-3204.
Terms of Payment
All clients must pay a non-refundable deposit upon signing contract. Payment can be made either by cash or cheque (make cheques payable to "Beth Murch" and ensure that your name and current contact information appears legibly on the cheque). Please note that all NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) charges are the sole responsibility of the client and I will issue a fine of $25 for each rejected payment. All final payments are due on the last day of rendered services. Late payments will be charged 5% on a monthly basis.
