Closing the Bones Ceremony

Closing the bones is ceremony dating back to a time where we honoured our body and the incredible life events we go through. Steeped in love, protection, safety and honour, this ceremony will make you feel held & so seen. When you give birth you don’t just open physically, with your bones and muscles. You open energetically too, to make way to meet your baby on a soul level. So much emotion, endurance and energy happens when you give birth it is only right we close the body after in a sacred and honourable way.

Like birth is a rite of passage so is giving thanks to your body for the journey it has been on. From growing and birthing new life but also nourishing them through love & much more.

This ceremony is where you get to say thank you, release anything you don’t want to carry through into motherhood and most of all to celebrate & honour you.

This ceremony can be held after you have honoured your fourth trimester.

You deserve to be celebrated and adored, if you choose to you can be surrounded by women who have walked that path themselves, pass down your wisdom to those who have yet to experience it or it can be an intimate ceremony just us.

Closing the Bones is a beautiful ceremony for all women. Whether you have birthed or not, it is about honouring the woman you are and all that you are yet to be.

It is also a ceremony to yourself, if you would like to have closure on a big life event- a separation, loss of a baby or a loved one or health conditions. You can have this ceremony at any point in your life, it can be 40 days after birth or 40 years.

We all have many chapters in our lives and times when we are reborn, this sacred ceremony gives you the opportunity to honour these chapters.

  • Closing the bones ceremony, postpartum ceremony

    Your Ceremony

    The ceremony will be opened through the sacred directions, calling in everything that is needed for your closing such as blessings and support. This will be done in Celtic shamanic way I have been taught.

    We will continue with a guided mediation and sacred cacao, to connect our heart and mind together. You will then be given the opportunity to tell your story as it should be told. Your words are the medicine and your journey is one of great strength and love. This ceremony will be your space to celebrate, reminisce but also release anything you no longer want to carry forward.

  • Sacred Touch

    For centuries, our hands have been used to heal, making them essential in a ceremony such as this. You will receive a head-to-toe massage, infusing love and restoring Qi into your body which has been lost during the birthing experience. The womb massage will help you reconnect with the part of you that nurtured and grew your child—it truly is our space of wisdom and creativity.

  • rebozos massage, closing the bones

    Rebozo Wrapping

    Finally, your body will be closed both physically and energetically. We start with a shamanic energy healing session providing further support and healing and balancing your body before it is closed. The rebozos will be gently tightened around you, creating a sense of holding and safety while sealing in all the love and care you've received. As your body is closed, you may experience an emotional or physical release. You are welcome to stay in this space for as long as you need, embracing the warmth and protection. When you are ready, you will be unwrapped, signifying your emergence from the chrysalis, renewed and transformed.
