Belly Blessing 

Maternity henna is a way of celebrating and highlighting the beautiful changes in both the expectant mother’s body and life. Baby belly blessings, welcoming ceremonies, and baby showers are all perfect occasions to have your pregnant belly henna done. The design can include traditional patterns (florals, paisleys, etc.)  from a particular culture or can be customized to include the baby’s name or symbols that are meaningful to the parents-to-be.

​

Deeply rooted in several cultures as a practice revolving around joy and celebration, henna (or mehndi) can signify a number of things for people. Most commonly, henna is applied to a bride’s hands and feet just before her wedding. Recently however, henna has become a much more widespread practice not just mimicking tattoos, but commemorating momentous occasions including pregnancy.

Maternity Henna Safety:

​

When choosing a henna artist, it is very important to make sure the ingredients being used are safe for use during pregnancy. Traditionally, henna paste is made using water, essential oils, lemon, and sometimes tea/coffee. Unfortunately, it is common to find pre-made henna cones with chemicals mixed in that could cause an allergic reaction.

We recommend choosing artist who make their own henna paste using safe ingredients.

We make ur own paste to ensure safety.
