This year has carried a powerful energetic theme.
2025 is a Universal Year 9, a year of completion, letting go, and closing old cycles.
And with the Chinese Year of the Snake, we’ve also been moving through a deep time of shedding… releasing what no longer supports who we are and who we are becoming.
So if this year has felt like endings, clearing, or layers falling away, you are not alone. It’s part of the collective rhythm we’ve all been moving through.
This month’s newsletter is all about closing the year with presence, gently acknowledging that whatever has happened, has happened.
And then asking: Who do I choose to be with all of this?
As the world evolves, I’ve also been evolving. My work is shifting, expanding, and softening in new ways. My offerings are now open to all women in all stages of pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood & womenhood.
I’m also consciously stepping away from birth doula work and moving more intentionally into the postpartum space. I feel deeply called here. It’s a tender window that needs more attention, more education, and more true support.
To help shape this work, I would love it if you could take a few minutes to complete a short survey on what you needed (or wished you had) in your postpartum. Whether we’ve worked together or not, whether you’re a mother or haven’t had a baby yet, your reflection will be so helpful.
December 6th also holds our final circle of the year.
I’ve started a Nurturing Circle for Pregnancy & Postpartum mamas that will run monthly in 2026, because I truly feel it’s important for pregnant women to be around babies, mothers, and like-minded women. We learn through presence, through witnessing, through being held in community, especially in an age where AI is growing and real human connection matters more than ever.
And a little update for December:
I’ll be in Joburg for in-person sessions for any women wanting bodywork, year integration, or support in planning their 2026 intentions.
If you’re not already part of The Mother’s Village with Theoni on Facebook, you’re so welcome to CONNECT, just let me know and I’ll send you the link.
As we move towards the close of this year, I wish you presence.
I wish you pause.
Even something as simple as taking a moment before your morning tea, coffee, or glass of water, to ask yourself, What do I want for this day?
Because we only ever have this day.
The past is gone.
The future hasn’t been born yet.
So may you enjoy this day, and all the days until 2025 completes.
Love always
Theoni
