"Going to a Sacred Pregnancy retreat should be at the top of any mama’s list next to getting sleepers and diapers, it’s that important, ESPECIALLY if this isn’t the first time and the previous time was even remotely off of what you wanted it to be.
I have never felt more empowered, loved, supported in my life as I prepared for the birth of my third child after a traumatic experience with my second.
The tribe I was given to walk the rest of my pregnancy with was some of the best people to have whenever I needed them or they needed me & I know we will all have a deep bond for many years to come.
I’m confident that one of the top reasons my birth was everything I wanted it to be was because I attended this retreat and spent the time with Sian & Jennifae.
This is an experience not to be missed. Thank you for letting me sit with you both and for empowering me to have my best birth experience."

"Where do I even begin about how amazing my sacred pregnancy retreat and sealing ceremony with Jennifae and Sian was...
There really are no words but I'm going to try my hardest to do it justice.
My last pregnancy was a hard one. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I was physically sick for 34 out of the 39 weeks I was pregnant. As a single mom, I was beyond exhausted and frustrated with my body- and to be honest the little babe growing inside of me. (I should also mention that the little lady who was causing all this chaos, wasn't even mine. I was carrying her for her two daddies, two incredible people.)
When I signed up for the sacred pregnancy retreat, I didn't know what to expect. It was my last ditch attempt to try to connect with this person growing inside of me, attempt to "enjoy" my last pregnancy (although that seemed impossible at this point) and just embrace the experience that I was so lucky to be able to be apart of.
What happened on that retreat.... was EXACTLY what I needed. It was exactly what the baby growing inside of me needed. So much went on during those two days, that words will never do justice for, but I left there feeling more grounded, at peace, and happy. I felt beautiful. I felt loved. I no longer felt alone. I was supported. I found my voice, which needed to be heard. Most importantly I felt safe enough to fall in love with the little girl I was carrying. She and I connected on such a deep, and much needed level.
The magic that Jennifae and Sian create in just 2-3 days is breathtakingly beautiful, and straight up magical."
