Pregnancy Henna
Applying henna to a pregnant belly is an ancient practice that is believed
to bring about a healthy and easy birth.  In some cultures this practice is
believed to bless and protect mother and baby during labor.  

Henna applied during pregnancy is a way for a mother-to-be to celebrate
and embrace her beautiful, changing figure.  It is typically done during
the last few months of pregnancy.  Pregnancy henna or mehndi is a
soothing, calming ritual that honors the mother-to-be during what may
be a physically challenging time in her pregnancy.

During a pregnancy henna session the mother-to-be is encouraged to
take that time to relax and bring her awareness to the life growing inside
her.  This can be done during a private in-home appointment or as part
of a baby shower or Blessingway.  I recommend that a few days after
your session you have photographs taken so that you can capture this
beautiful time in your pregnancy.

Although the henna paste I make contains all natural ingredients (fresh
henna powder, lemon, sugar, and lavender essential oil), please check
the Contraindications link to be sure henna is for you.
