There are times in life that sparkle with significance! The birth of a child is one of those moments, a treasured chapter in your story of life. Humans have been marking this precious occasion through ceremony for many thousands of years. The diversity of ceremonies that have been performed around the miracle of conception and birth are endless.
Body Art & Photography Baby Blessings are unique and personalised ceremonies of acknowledgment, gratitude and prayer between you and your child, in preparation for your child's first initiation of life. These ceremonies are conducted with care, compassion and colour. Starting with an initial consultation, you will be guided into the process of discovering which emotions, images, and feelings are present for you around being a mother.
A spiritual map is created to facilitate the design of your Body Painting Art.
Set in the comfort of your own home, with candles and the subtle scent of essential oils wafting over us, we sit in ceremony. Calling in the elements, our spirit guides, welcoming our amulets and talismans to the sacred prayer mat, cleansing the ether with burning sage, and ushering words from the heart to the little being growing inside. Listening and sensing all that is with great reverence. A shamanic experience that will leave you feeling wrapped in prayer. A final artwork that will be treasured for generations.

"I didn't think an artwork could capture the beauty of this experience but Orly has quite literally manifested in material form the essence of the sacred internal landscape from which I am gestating new life. I close my eyes at night and all I can see are the colors and patterns of her painting swirling around in my mind giving visual form to the current state of my energy field as it pulses with and radiates the light of the little girl growing in my womb. My sense of goddess, earth, matrix moving through me is all held and honored in the image she has so seamlessly created. For anyone looking to memorialize the magic of experience, to honor a life stage moment or even just the everyday beauty of inner world merging with outer, there is no greater creatrix than Orly to bring this vision into existence. I can’t imagine a piece in any art collection as unique, precious and beautiful as one of Orly’s merges." - Emily Christian

"My husband and I both loved having Orly at our home to create this wonderful experience. I didn't want to wash my belly at all and managed to sleep very still overnight so I could enjoy looking at my beautiful belly the next day as well! The most amazing thing was watching baby move which was so much more visual with my beautiful belly art! Orly is an extremely talented artist with a passion for what she does and it was a privilege to have her bless our baby. We will treasure our pictures of her artwork always and look forward to sharing them with our child. Thank you Orly" |

"A friend of mine had her belly painted by Orly last year and after she saw how much I loved the photos and the concept, she bought a session for me when I fell pregnant. The whole experience was absolutely beautiful. Orly came to my home and created such a comfortable, warm atmosphere. I was a little concerned about how comfortable I would be sitting in one place for a couple of hours (at 8 months pregnant!) but it was actually so relaxing- Orly played music, brought cups of tea and I just sat back and enjoyed. The painting itself turned out to be stunning, and the photos are a beautiful memento. I highly recommend this experience for any woman wanting a really unique memento of her pregnancy experience"
