"Closing the Bones" is an ancient postpartum healing ritual from South America, primarily Ecuador and Mexico, that helps a woman's body, mind, and spirit recover after childbirth.

The ceremony involves a warm oil massage and the use of a long, woven cloths, called rebozos, to gently bind and rock the woman's body, helping to "close the bones", focusing on the pelvic area, that have expanded during pregnancy and birth.

It is my aim to create a sacred space for the new parent to feel empowered, nurtured & free to release any emotions that childbirth & Postpartum have brought about.

I can bring the ceremony to your home, or in the case of a group, we can find a suitable space.

I start with preparing the space with candles, music, and creating a calming atmosphere.
The ceremony can begin with a warm oil massage of the abdomen, hips, and other areas to promote relaxation and blood flow.
After the massage, a few rebozos are used to wrap and bind different parts of the body, with special focus on the pelvis, to symbolize the closing of the birthing process.

The ceremony can create a supportive and safe space for the mother to release emotions associated with birth, motherhood, or other life transitions. The final part of the ceremony usually concludes with a blessing & a tea or cocoa ceremony, which we choose together before.

Who can benefit

Mothers: The ritual is traditionally for mothers to help with physical recovery after childbirth and to acknowledge the immense changes they have gone through.


Women after loss: It can also support women who have experienced miscarriage, abortion, or stillbirth.


At any time: The ceremony is not limited to those who have recently given birth and can be beneficial for any woman needing to close a chapter, transition, or honor a period of change in her life.  It can be a wonderful way to help heal from hysterectomy, mark passage into menopause or to heal from a break-up or divorce.
