Yes, I do more than just adorn pregnant bellies in my studio and go to gatherings to celebrate a woman’s rite of passage into motherhood!
Women come to me with powerful intentions and visions.
They remove the clothing they wish and recline in my Henna Throne like the QUEEN that they are and receive art, healing, and the opportunity to create ritual.
What are they celebrating? This mama was honoring her breastfeeding relationship, her being a mama, and glowing through it all.

Breastfeeding photos mean two sessions, one to adorn with henna, one with baby for nursing photos. Here’s another mama, Heidi, who celebrated her breastfeeding relationship.
Women have unique stages of life that are meaningful to mark with ritual.

Come for healing with intentions for strength and grounding.
Adorning the head with henna is sometimes called a Henna Crown, though it can take any shape.
De was honoring her journey of chemotherapy after a round of successful treatments. I have also adorned many women’s mastectomy scars.

Come to honor the Sacred Feminine as expressed through you right now, like Stefani.
These are experiences that touch a woman's heart and allow her the opportunity to voice her truth and be witnessed and honored with ritual art.
What is blooming in you now? Let's speak to that and give thanks together.

Whether it’s for your birthday, an upcoming holiday, or a romantic surprise, henna adornment can add to the beauty and meaning of your special day.
It is incredibly empowering to have your intentions made visible on your skin.

Henna to honor a rite of passage
And what about henna to acknowledge the start of the period?
It's such a powerful time to mark with ritual, with art. When one of my daughters came of age she directed the art to honor her truth. For her, it felt like turtles and plumerias up her chest and over her shoulder and down her back.
Ann Drucker, a local herbalist and healer, led us in a meaningful ceremony we cherished.

Henna sessions can be light and fun: a mother-daughter bonding experience.
Henna is soothing to the nerves, and so many young women find so much pleasure in directing and receiving art. What is their favorite animal? A unicorn, perhaps? And the mama, Rebecca, is feeling called to the Mother Mary.

Henna to honor friendship
I have been to so many sweet birthday parties and adorned all the kids, often the mama too. Young people love the thrill of selecting a tattoo, perhaps directing the art at bit to add in their favorite animal. A group of friends feels

Adult birthdays feel fantastic in henna.
When I first discovered henna it was through a friend who offered me birthday henna - I was turning 27. She adorned my hands, arm and shoulder. I’ll never forget how empowered I felt on my birthday, which was celebrated a few days later at an amusement park where everyone (it seemed) noticed my henna and gave me such sweet compliments.
Honor Your Birthday
Every year I do some special henna for my birthday. It's true the henna fades after a week or two, but the pictures last forever.

Come by yourself for a private session or come with your friends, like this mama, Mercy.
Gathering your sisters and marking the day with ritual is something you'll remember the rest of your life.
Those women standing by you are so important and hold the web of love around you.
