Honoring your Journey

At Raveled in Blessings, we believe that healing, birth, and creative expression are sacred acts—woven with spirit, ancestral wisdom, and radical care. We honor the whole person by nurturing the mind, body, and soul through intentional doula care, energy work, and art-centered healing.

Our philosophy centers community, consent, and connection. We walk beside you—not above you—as you navigate your path through pregnancy, postpartum, loss, transformation, and personal rebirth. Whether through a ceremonial birth, intuitive art, or reiki-infused support, our role is to hold space, reflect your light, and remind you that your journey is divine and deserving of reverence.

We are especially committed to supporting Black, Brown, LGBTQIA+, and intentionally living people, creating spaces that are inclusive, affirming, and rooted in liberation.

You are not alone. You are raveled in blessings.

Shay Nefeteria, founder, creative, mother, certified full spectrum doula and podcast host designed Raveled in Blessings to create intentional spaces for growth and healing. After graduating from John Jay College of Criminal Justice with a degree in Forensic Psychology, Shay spent years creating art for communities in the NYC and Westchester Area. Over time, a passion grew inside of her as she became fascinated with the birthing process and the idea of supporting birthing people and their family following the births of her Irish Twins.

Raveled in Blessings is a sanctuary for the mind, body, spirit, and the growing family. We offer heart-centered wellness experiences through two signature paths:

THe Art Experience

Healing through creative expression

A creative healing space offering group art therapy for all ages.

THe sacred arrival collective

Intuitive support for every stage of birth

Full-spectrum doula and perinatal care services designed to meet you with presence, power, and compassion.

The Healing Experience

Doula Support Featuring soul and Sovereignty

Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or grieving a loss, our full-spectrum doula care is customized to your needs. We hold space for the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of your journey. From breathwork to meal prep, from labor support to ritual closure, our care is intuitive, trauma-informed, and deeply human.

We support hospital births, home births, and birthing centers—and walk with you through every twist, turn, and transformation.

Art As Medicine

We believe creativity is a form of healing. Our art experiences include guided sessions in body painting, intuitive drawing, group art therapy, and ceremonial art for families and birthing people. Whether it’s a belly casting ritual or a family bonding painting circle, we use art to express what words can’t always hold—joy, grief, connection, rebirth.

ceremonial birth and afterbirth practices

We incorporate ritual and reverence into our birth and postpartum care. That might look like:

• Herbal soaking ceremonies

• Reiki-infused belly blessings

• Sacred placenta keepsakes

• Voice-led meditations or song during labor

• Closing of the Bones ceremonies

These offerings are shaped by your lineage, your beliefs, and your vision of a supported birth.

Our approach is heart-led, culturally aware, and rooted in trust. We don’t just show up—we listen, we create, we bless, and we build alongside you.

Let’s reclaim your rite of passage as sacred. Let’s make it yours.
