“Our Mother, who art in heaven and on earth and in every place,
Blessed be Your beauty and Your abundance,
Bring in our hearts the key that opens the portal of love,
May each of us respect the ways of all beings
And the exercise of forgiveness is part of our existence
May we receive at our table those who want to share with us
The sacred food.
Our Mother, who art in heaven and on earth and everywhere,
May the greater Purpose guide our steps,
And that the beat of our hearts can join with the touch of the heart of the earth
And so we can pulse in the same rhythm.
May the stars guide us through the dark nights
And may the sun shine brightly on our bodies.” –Author unknown
Happy Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day is a special time to celebrate the mother figures in our lives, or if you are a mother, to feel celebrated by those you’ve devoted your life to.
A designated day each year to honor the special women in our lives provides a heartfelt opportunity to reflect on and express gratitude for their nurturing presence.
In this post, I share the blessings of Motherhood and the benefits of flower-essence aromatherapy, which strengthens the bonds of the heart. I highlight three specific products you’ll discover in my latest offering honoring mothers of childbearing age.
Reflections on Motherhood
For many, Mother’s Day brings back wonderful memories of the mom who raised, loved, taught, and nurtured them. However, for others, it’s a painful time, reminding them of the mother they wish they’d had. In either case, mothers leave an impact on their children’s lives that lasts forever.
Though my mother died of Alzheimer’s Disease ten years ago, I still remember her comforting scent when she held me in her arms as a small child. I felt secure in her embrace, hearing her heartbeat as my head rested on her chest.
Today, I am grateful for the wise women in my life who have stepped in to preserve and nurture the mother-daughter connection. Their supportive presence is a treasured gift that fills my heart with warmth and gratitude, allowing me to continue to grow from their wisdom and worldly ways.
Embracing the Call of Motherhood
My journey through motherhood has been deeply rewarding. I embraced the call of motherhood early in my adult life, viewing my role as a sacred, long-term opportunity to shape character and pass on my values, rather than just a series of daily tasks.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have three extraordinary adult children and five delightful grandchildren who bring so much joy to my life. Today, as a caring grandmother and passionate aromatherapist, I cherish the beauty of motherhood and share my aromatic wisdom with you.
Motherhood for me meant shifting from self-centeredness to sacrificial love, finding purpose in daily nurturing, and embracing a natural wellness lifestyle. I chose to mother differently than my own mother, with whom I had become estranged as a young adult.
Motherhood isn’t the idealized image we often picture, with perfect children who instinctively want to serve others or keep things tidy. It requires genuine effort and commitment to fully embrace the responsibilities of motherhood.
We must let go of many things to make room to truly appreciate and walk in motherhood. Through responsibility, we learn what it means to be a mother.
Held by The Mother Goddess
In those early days, I discovered a beautiful connection with the Sacred Feminine as a balancing pivot to patriarchy as I searched for who I was also becoming. I found comfort in the archetypal image of the “Great Mother Goddess” as I affirmed my role as a nurturing mother.
Across cultures worldwide, the Great Mother Goddess was revered in ceremonies perpetuating the fertility and sacredness of the Earth. A mother passed down to her daughter a sense of herself, of her body, of the mysteries of fecundity and regeneration.
Through her, I learned that life is sacred, knowing that as a mother, within and without, I am deeply connected to the beautiful thread of my grandmothers.
Mothering is all about nourishing, being present, and doing whatever is needed right then to support growth and healing, even when you’re feeling tired. It’s about showing up with love and care, making a difference in the little moments that matter.
But that’s not all I learned. Mothering energy is caregiving. It is about honoring the creative force within us that generates Life: babies, growing gardens, and also businesses.
For all of us, the Mother is all around us. She is Life, which is regenerative, eternal, and unending. When we tap into her, we are full to overflowing.
Then, in times of sorrow or challenges, we can show up for the hard things without flinching, knowing she is within and without.
Aligning with Nature~Focusing on Nurture
Motherhood, when aligned with nature, focuses on nurturing through instinct, resilience, and presence, treating parenting as a natural, life-sustaining, and spiritual process.
It mirrors natural rhythms to provide grounding and security, encouraging children’s independence while fostering a deep, empathetic connection to the Earth and to their innate, intuitive selves.
As a mother, I discovered that nurturing requires restoring our own energy and treating ourselves with the same compassion and attention to basic needs (food, rest, comfort) that we give our children. It is never an excuse to abandon oneself.
Embracing these insights, I prioritized alignment with nature. I encouraged my children to appreciate nature through activities such as visiting farmers’ markets, recycling, and spending time outdoors or at the beach, fostering a deep connection with the environment and appreciation for the place we live.
Wellness-focused Nurturing
In our ever-evolving world, the timeless landscape of motherhood is transforming. We stand at the beginning of an era in which the wisdom of our grandmothers blends with the insights of modern science and the vital role of safe, non-toxic care products.
In my household, we consumed whole, unprocessed, organic foods, emphasized drinking water instead of soda, and used natural, non-toxic cleaning products. I relied on tried-and-true methods for treating colds and flus; none of us took over-the-counter medications, nor did any of us suffer from serious illnesses.
“A mother is the living thread of connection, remembering and reclaiming the ways
of our grandmothers’ grandmothers.”
As research continues to highlight the effects of daily chemical exposure on developing systems, the shift toward safe, non-toxic, and organic care products is much more plentiful.
For many mothers today, this has become a fundamental aspect of contemporary, wellness-oriented parenting.
This journey has motivated me to create flower essence aromatherapy, offering incredible wellness benefits that everyone can experience and cherish.
Moreover, the naturally scented organic oils and lotions I’ve created provide mothers with balancing benefits that enhance healing and wellness before and after pregnancy, supporting these values throughout their mothering journey.
Fleur Sacred Momma Collection
I recently launched this exquisite collection of organic care products, specifically designed for the Sacred Momma to support her at every stage of her transformative journey.
This past year, I was influenced by my daughter’s journey into motherhood and inspired to support her through every stage of her fourth pregnancy.
Witnessing her tackle the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period highlights her remarkable strength and resilience. Her love and determination are a powerful reminder of the incredible capabilities within each mother.
Drawing from the wisdom of gentle, natural ingredients, these are the tools I used during and after giving birth to my own children.
Each product in our line is carefully crafted to nurture, comfort, and uplift both mother and child throughout life’s tender beginnings.
From a luxurious lotion for her blooming belly during pregnancy, designed to minimize stretch marks, to a postpartum body oil to help rebalance her hormones, to a refreshing perineal spray to soothe her lady parts and promote healing—every item is thoughtfully formulated with pregnancy-safe organic essential oils to promote wellness and tranquility.
Our alchemical wellness care products help each mother build wellness rituals that meet her changing needs before and after pregnancy, so she feels balanced and supported throughout her journey. 
Blooming Belly Lotion
For the mother-to-be, our Blooming Belly Lotion combines antioxidant-rich, skin-loving organic ingredients with pregnancy-safe essential oils to moisturize and support a growing belly while helping minimize stretch marks.
Formulated for daily use, Blooming Belly Lotion is a highly effective moisturizer that conditions, hydrates, and nourishes your skin as your belly blooms and stretches during pregnancy.
Furthermore, Blooming Belly Lotion, with its blend of pregnancy-safe essential oils of Frankincense, Lavender, Geranium, Roman Chamomile, Myrrh, and Rose Otto, delights the senses. Wildflower vibrational essences in this blend offer emotional comfort, easing stress and anxiety through their soothing effects.
Mata’s Belly Oil for Postpartum Care
In many traditional cultures, postpartum rituals celebrate a woman’s transition to motherhood, whether it is her first or fourth child. At the center of this sacred time are flower essence aromatherapy and belly massage.
Giving yourself a daily oil massage to your belly after your baby’s birth is a rejuvenating self-care ritual that helps you feel loved and accepted as you are. 
Mata’s Postpartum Belly Oil offers numerous benefits for post-pregnancy recovery, improving circulation and aiding lymphatic drainage. Massaging the belly after childbirth helps realign the uterus, boost blood flow, promote tissue healing, and reduce swelling, leading to a faster recovery.
Botanical essential oils offer a natural, gentle option for postpartum care. These include the beautifully balancing organic oils of Clary Sage, Geranium, Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Frankincense, Fennel, Helichrysum, Jasmine, and Vanilla. They are safely diluted in a soothing base of calendula, jojoba, and sea buckthorn oils meant to help tighten stretched skin, hydrate, and minimize discoloration.
The uplifting and calming scent offers gentle emotional comfort, helping to restore hormonal balance and overall wellbeing. For breastfeeding mothers, this blend may also help increase milk production.
Soothing Peri Spray
After giving birth, our lady parts can feel sore and bruised. Our Soothing Peri Spray helps soothe tender lady parts and promote quick healing. 
Soothing Peri Spray features an alchemical blend of specialty organic healing ingredients:

Their anti-inflammatory properties help ease discomfort and provide immediate relief from tenderness due to soft-tissue bruising.
Applying spray to delicate lady parts aids in quicker healing after vaginal birth. It is safe to use on episiotomy stitches and tears.
Honoring Your Motherhood Path
Today, honor all mothers and the Great Goddess Mother within yourself. Stay steadfast in love. Dedicate time to receive, fill up, and absorb so that you are overflowing with abundance.
May those who have forgotten or abandoned or rejected the mother find her in their hearts again, where she has always and will always be.
As women, as mothers, we stand upon a vast, unseen landscape of wisdom carved out by those who breathed, struggled, and loved long before us. I am a living vessel of wisdom, rooted in the past and reaching toward an expansive future.
I know that we also need each other. Community is a Mother, a place where we can rest, be held, be seen, and be nourished in the circle.
Choosing comfort for yourself is not indulgent. It’s not unnecessary. And it doesn’t need a special occasion to make sense.
Honor yourself, whether you are a mother or not. If that’s what you need. You are the embodied sacred feminine, connected to the women and mothers who birthed you.
Celebrating All the Sacred Mommas
Mother’s Day comes but once a year, but every day we can celebrate all the Sacred Mommas of any age.
Ultimately, a mother’s heart will never be her own. Motherhood, mothering, and becoming a wise woman are processes of struggle, acceptance, and celebration throughout the lifespan. Take this moment to celebrate yourself or that special woman.
As a grandmother, I wouldn’t change a thing about my life as a mother. I love being a nurturing mother, connected to my beautiful daughter and granddaughters who carry on my lineage.
Whether you’re the mother who wants to spend the day surrounded by all your tiny (or not so tiny) humans or the mother who wants one day a year completely to herself.
Fleur Flower Essence Aromatherapy can create a wonderful and relaxing Mother’s Day experience that moms truly deserve. It is the perfect way to support any woman as she begins or continues her motherhood journey with confidence and grace.
For all mothers everywhere, make it an aromatic one!
Happy Mother’s Day!
All my aromatic love,
Vidya
