“I am not sure I will be able to thank you enough. I have so much in my heart, it is hard to put in words. I wish to reach from my heart to yours and tell you how much I adore you and appreciate EVERYTHING you did for me the weekend of my baby blessing celebration. Everyone has been raving about how wonderful you are and what an amazing party we had! I am so happy to have met you and hope to spend more time with you. I really love your energy, your sense of humor and you, you, you!”
“It was the absolute highlight of any baby shower I have ever attended. I especially like the making of the necklace, a personal time capsule for life from the love given at the ceremony. For my niece's shower I wanted her to 
experience the warmth and connection to the women in her life with a Baby Blessing Ceremony. With Marlaina's notes I was able to perform the ceremony with ease.”
"I felt such nurturing and support from my friends as they involved themselves in the rituals of dressing my hair, beading Kayla's lovely necklace and the footbath was so soothing. I found the words of the blessings to be empowering and calming. I want to thank Marlaina for making it all very possible by sharing her gifts and knowledge with us.”
“A Blessing Way is the most beautiful ceremony I have ever experienced. It not only makes you feel very special but it also unites everyone in a sentimental way. Marlaina is so natural and her ability to speak draws in the crowd, I highly recommend her.”
“Several years ago Marlaina brought the Blessing Way ceremony into my life when I attended a shower that she was the hostess of. It was so heartfelt and meaningful I was complelled to get her notes so I could lead this for my special 
friends. I have lead it twice now and I am touched and amazed at how thankful all who attended were for my sharing this thoughtful gift with them. The sweet meanings of the Blessing Way ceremony smothers you with idealism about life, future opportunity and love. This wonderful celebration of birth is a rewarding and valuable experience.”
“For the births of both my daughters I was given a Blessing Way to prepare me for the road ahead. The memory of all the love and support that was literally showered upon me gave me the strength of many women to prepare for natural childbirth. The necklace was a solid reminder, a tangible symbol, of the support I can still cling to in times of need.”
“I have been blessed with the opportunity to conduct a Blessing Way for women who are important to me. Being able to lead a baby shower into a deeper appreciation of the inner beauty of womanhood has brought me a feeling of accomplishment. A true soul movement for all involved. It is the most sacred and heartfelt gift I can give.”
