WSC In-Depth Description

“Meeting the Holistic Needs of Women and Families in Lake and Mendocino Counties.”

www.womensspiritualitycenter.com

At the WSC we believe that women and families are the Heart of our community. We seek to provide nurturing services through our classes, workshops, consultations, sessions and other local and family focused events. The WSC focuses on our Mendo/Lake tribe’s spiritual needs through fairy card readings, life’s journey consultations, birth doula services, in home mommy and me yoga classes and natural living consultations.

Our center’s physical location is currently situated in rural Upper Lake, CA, however through community and personal partnerships we are working hard to bring our services directly to you. Our fairy card readings, consultations, and yoga classes can take place in your home or at our center depending on your personal needs. We want the community to think of our “center” more as a state of mind, much like the Sioux carry the Sioux Nation around with them as a state of mind. This center is founded and built upon collective, neighborhood fellowship here in Lake and Mendocino counties and therefore the center is everywhere you want or need it to be!




More information on our services:

Fairy Card Readings – Much like other oracle and tarot card decks, the fairy card oracle deck can provide meaningful insight into you life through the direction of the nature spirits that surround all of us everyday – our fairy friends! Each reading is extremely detailed and lasts one full hour. They can be done for an individual or for a group or family. The first reading is $65, each additional reading is $35. The fairy readings are given by Ayla Serenemoon, M.A., Women’s Spirituality. Ayla has studied under the Shaman and Astrologer Vicki Noble who co-created the Mother Peace tarot deck.

Life’s Journey Consultations
– Using mixed methodologies in the metaphysical arts and sciences as well as years of experience in local and international support services for personal journeys you will be given an hour and half long consulting session on how you can use art, meditation, astrology, manifestation, spell work, and other methods to improve and guide your life to achieve your personal goals! The first meeting is $70, each additional meeting is $40 and lasts one hour.

Birth Doula Services – A Doula (pronounced doola) is a word used to describe a woman who is experienced in birth and labor. She provides continuous emotional, physical and informed support to the mama before, during, and immediately after childbirth. Many studies have found that having a doula for support in labor reduces the need for
c-section by up to 50%, reduces the length of labor and the need for pain medication, results in decreased rates of postpartum depression and high success rates in breastfeeding.

Throughout your pregnancy we will meet once a month for one to two hours for personal yoga sessions and consultations about any concerns you may have. I will help guide you to resources, which can help improve your pregnancy experience. As your doula I am available for you day or night both, in person or over the phone, to weave together a strong and happy pregnancy.

Around 36-38 weeks we will meet weekly to talk about your birth plans and prepare you for meeting your new family member. During the birth of your child we will work together to produce a beautiful experience and outcome for you, your family and your new babe. I will follow up with you after the birth of your baby to see that breastfeeding and family life are going smoothly.
