Ancestral Care & Spiritual Guidance: Living Light Haven & Births

Living Light Haven and Births was not born from ambition but from remembrance. It began the day I gave birth to my first child. I wasn’t prepared in the way my spirit needed. No sacred hands held my own, and no ancestral echoes reminded me that I was doing what generations of women had done before me. That gap, the absence of soul-centered care, planted the seed. But truly, this calling runs deeper. It is ancestral, blood memory, and the voice of the women before me saying, “Make the path sacred again.”

What is Ancestral Care?

Ancestral care is not a trend. It is a return. The rituals protect and bless the womb, the herbal knowledge passed down quietly between hands, and remembering that birth is not just physical, it is spiritual. It is the deep reverence for the Orí, the divine inner head, or higher self, that each soul brings into this world. For those unfamiliar with Yoruba, Orí is the spiritual seat of destiny. To honor the Orí during pregnancy and birth is to align the journey of mother and child with divine purpose.

How Spiritual Guidance Flows in My Work

Guidance doesn’t always come with fireworks. Sometimes, it comes in a dream. Other times, it arrives like a whisper during a prenatal session, or a sudden knowing when a mother feels unsure. I am led by prayer. I am aligned through Orí. I walk with Source, and in every birth I support, I ask Spirit: “What is needed now?” I don’t claim to be a healer. I claim to be a listener to the womb, ancestors, and divine breath in all of us.

What I Want You to Feel

When you step into my space, I want you to feel:

Empowered. Remembered. Divine. Peaceful.

Whether it’s a full birth package, a womb consultation, or a word on this blog, I want you to feel seen by something greater than us both.

What This Blog Will Be

This blog is a journal, a guide, and a sacred notebook in the digital age. I will share reflections on birth work, spiritual care, herbal traditions, motherhood, grief, and the soft power of remembering who we truly are. I hope it brings you healing, education, and deep reflection.

Proverbs to Carry With You

Yoruba Proverb: “Ìyá làbẹ́ ọmọ, orí inú ni ń bọ̀ lórí inú.”

“A mother is the shelter of the child; the inner head (Orí) births the journey.”

Urhobo Proverb: “Ọmọ rọ ẹvwe, ẹvwe rọ ọmọ.”

“The child blesses the womb, and the womb blesses the child.”

Closing

If you have made it here, know this:

You are not alone.

You are not forgotten.

You are walking a path that thousands of women walked barefoot before you,

And you are doing it with light in your hands.
