Rite of Passage ceremony

FOR YOU CURRENTLY TRANSFORMING, COME BE WITNESSED. BE HELD. BE (RE)BORN

A Rite of Passage is not just a ritual — it's a return to the sacredness of your becoming. Whether you're moving through a transition like your first menstruation, motherhood, a breakup, menopause, or shedding an old identity—this space is here to honour that shift.

These life moments deserve to be witnessed, held, and honoured.

Mark the Moment with Intention

This ceremony is a deeply transformative experience held in a sacred and intentional container. It’s curated to support the woman in letting go of past versions of herself, softening protective barriers, and allowing herself to be seen in her truth.

This is your invitation to mark a sacred threshold in your life with ceremony, intention, and ancestral remembrance.

Come and let go of who you were. Reclaim who you’re becoming.

Mark the Moment with Intention, rites of passage

This is a 1:1 sacred ceremony created to honour your personal transition. Every detail is held with reverence.

  • Altar creation — together we create a space of beauty and intention

  • Elemental invocation & intention setting

  • Limpia (energetic cleansing) — with sacred smoke, plants, and sound

  • Womb massage — to reconnect, soften, and awaken your center of creation

  • Cerrada de Cadera (Closing of the Bones ritual) — rooted in Curanderismo, this powerful practice wraps your body in cloth and invites you into the cocoon of deep stillness, where you journey inward with the drum. This moment is an energetic rebirth.

We’ll close with time for integration, journaling, and sharing.

You’ll leave not just transformed — but witnessed, remembered, and empowered.

Testimonials

  • “Vanessa supported me with a Rite of Passage ceremony that was instrumental is shifting my relationship with dependency on certain plants in my day to day life. This ceremony was supportive of honoring the role this plant played in my life with reverence while also re-patterning and rebirthing me through the limpia into a new cycle. I felt truly transported into a healing realm and emerged lighter, more present and committed to my path. I highly recommend this session for anyone struggling with addiction, codependency or feel like they need to reclaim their womb and rebirth themselves into a new chapter.

    ANASTASIA R

  • “I started to receive womb massages with Vanessa after doing a closing cycle ceremony with her. I feel so at ease in her presence and the womb massages have created a clearing in me and a stronger connection to my body. As women, we are never taught how to nurture and care for our wombs and it’s such an important thing for us. Vanessa has taught me how healing, important and needed it is. I feel completely safe, comfortable and cared for during our sessions. It has been an amazing addition to my self care routine”

    SANDRA C

  • “Vane good evening, I wanted to thank you for the group ceremony that you shared with us today, I feel so connected to my womb and to the women in my family. This terapy helped me free myself from many past ties. I feel energetically freer, and my womb feels healthier. Thank you so very much!. May the universe always bless you”

    MONICA P

Working in her lineage and with her divine feminine gifts have led to revelatory, informative, aesthetically stunning (and really fun) experiences.
