    If someone would like to attend, they will need to book a place—even if they choose to take a more observational role during the session.

  • You’re very welcome to book a private session for your group. This allows you to share the space exclusively and move through the experience together. Simply reach our on our contact form.

  • These sessions are intentionally centred around mothers.

    At Alch Cera, there is a deep reverence for the experience of motherhood—the giving of self, the shift in identity, and the reorientation of life that comes with welcoming a new child.

    This offering is designed as a space to gently fill the cup of mothers—to hold, support, and care for them, as they care for another.

    Partners and carers are absolutely welcome to attend, though this is the lens through which the session has been shaped.

  • You’re very welcome to attend.

    If you are hoping to bring a pram, please let us know in your booking form.

What Mums Are Saying…. 100% authentic

Absolutely loved our piece from Alch Cera. Was such a calm experience, especially with a little bubba. Walking in I instantly felt calm, warm and cozy in the studio. Bambi was gentle, relaxed and easy to communicate with during the whole experience which made it feel enjoyable.
Bambi was so patient when bubs needed to be fed, or was getting a bit grizzly. We will definitely be coming back and sending friends/ family to her studio xo

Bambi was so patient, kind and generous with her skills. She is also extremely warm and welcoming into her gorgeous boutique studio.

My 3 and a half year old warmed to her immediately and that made this beautiful experience so positive and intimate.

Bambi also makes delicious home made cookies, which were an absolute hit with me and my daughter too!

If you are looking for stunning keepsake pieces, Bambi is your go to!

Thank you Bambi xox
