What is a Mother Blessing Ceremony? Destiny Fae found out first hand Destiny Fae is one well-travelled mum-to-be. In this conversation, the self-professed ‘visionary’ and ‘psychic’ talks about the spiritual practice that is a Mother Blessing Ceremony. Destiny will welcome her first child into the world in a few short weeks but in a former life, the Sunshine Coast local was known as a ‘spiritual nomad’. Destiny travelled the world for more than three years. During that time, she engaged in public speaking, writing books, offering multimodality therapies and spiritual and psychic guidance, as well as creating online events and summits for the New Earth, with a focus on Unity, Inner divinity, ancient wisdom, sustainable living and well-being.

We at Synk Media wish Destiny and her partner all the best for their impending arrival.
The young globetrotter tracked down a Doula, a woman who provides advice and support during the birthing process and decided she would like to have a water birth in her own home, when the time came. She has also been studying hypnobirthing. During her pregnancy, Destiny’s Doula mentioned the Mother Blessing Ceremony. Fast forward to August 2020 and Destiny’s own sacred gathering took place.
