Closing of the Bones
The Closing of the Bones Ceremony is a deeply nurturing and sacred ritual rooted in Central & South American midwifery wisdom, offering support for emotional, physical and spiritual integration. Traditionally performed postnatal, it is also ideal for women experiencing life transitions, emotional release or transformation. Using rebozos (handwoven shawls), gentle rocking, body wrapping, womb massage and deep stillness, this ceremony helps bring closure, healing and a sense of wholeness. Perfect for anyone seeking: 🌿 Postnatal Healing (recent or many years ago) 🌿 Recovery from pregnancy loss, abortion or birth trauma 🌿 Support during life transitions – menopause, grief, divorce, identity shifts 🌿 Reconnection with the womb and self 🌿 Emotional release and nervous system healing 🌿 Ceremony, closure and sacred self-care What to Expect: Settling In & Intention Setting: Your session begins with a gentle settling-in process, where we palo santo, light a candle, and you set an intention for your ceremony. We will also enjoy a warm herbal tea together. Rebozo Massage: You’ll lie on a floor mat, comfortably supported, while I perform the rebozo massage — gentle rhythmic rocking, body cradling and tension release through the power of traditional rebozo shawls. Womb Massage: I will offer a gentle womb/abdominal massage, helping you connect with your body and supporting emotional healing. Body Wrapping: You’ll be wrapped in rebozo scarves from head to toe, offering containment, safety and stillness. Guided Meditation or Sound Healing: Once wrapped, I’ll guide you through a meditation or sound healing or in silence to deepen integration and allow you to soften into sacred stillness. Unwrapping & Integration: The ceremony concludes with gentle unwrapping of the scarves, followed by a moment to re-enter the space with ease.
