What is a bellini shower?
A Bellini Shower is a sacred bohemian gathering among girlfriends and dear ones to celebrate and bless the soon-to-be mom and the baby in her belly. The beautiful gathering is inspired by a Native American tradition to celebrate and shower with blessings the woman's rite of passage to motherhood. It's a day to wear flowers in your head, pampering and honor the female's body and celebrate with good vibrations the love for the baby to come. A one-of-a-kind day to laugh, sing, share and create your journey to being an awesome momma.

ANGEL CARD READINGS
Angel Card Readings by Elizebeth Lopez
Elizebeth is a conduit of messages being delivered by the Universe, Spirit & Angels. Her sacred deck has embraced a connection with her spirit and the Universe itself, it allows her to feel, hear, smell, see and taste the messages from the Divine. She believes her purpose in this lifetime is to help guide others with energy work and through peaceful messages that are delivered.
Prior to the session she will cleanse the deck with Sage preparing a sacred and safe environment clearing any lingering energies and setting the intention to invite positive beautiful energies in while you are working together.
Messages that are received are based on the current energies that are held within your aura. The cards are placed in a unique spread as she describes the messages for each card, drawing a total of ten cards. Each reading can be a profound and a personal experience as it brings new insights to your life to inspire, expand and transform yourself.
As Elizebeth says "the Universe is always sending us beautiful messages and ways of communicating with us, sometimes we just forget to listen, I am grateful I am able to be used as a conduit, sending love and light back into this world".

about hawk - the mom behind bellini showers
Bellini, bellini, bellini. My Belly was sooooooo big- well you can see it up there - but let me tell you I felt so beautiful! Even when my ankles were swollen, my nose looked like a boxer had punched me and even during my last trimester when I had preeclampsia ... I loved being pregnant. I loved to feel my baby's kicks and even thought I was scared for all the possible outcomes - it was so magical.
My super awesome sister gifted me with the most amazing and unconventional "shower" and not only did I LOVE it but my guests were in awe! Imagine your grandmother getting a tattoo(henna tattoo that is), your best friend getting her cards read and your guests showering you with flowers, yoga, boho gifts, berries, chocolates and momosas (a virgin mimosa). Omg! It is simply the best! And that is why we created Bellini Showers. I want you to feel absolutely fabulous and rock that belly with your loved ones. I want you to look back and remember this time with love and feeling like the incredible woman you are.
A little more about me: My background is in film and design. I love to create experiences ... positive mindful experiences and Bellini Showers is one that I love. My Bellini amazing partners are also friends and their magic will make this day a forever little treasure. So, are you ready to be Bellini Showered? I think you are.
