Closing the Bones Ceremony

Closing the bones is a ceremony where we honour our body and the incredible life events we go through. Steeped in love, protection and honour, this ceremony will make you feel held & 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 way.

Birth is a rite of passage, this ceremony gives you the chance to thank 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. It can be held after your fourth trimester has come to a close.

You can choose to be surrounded by women who have walked that path themselves and been a part of your journey into motherhood or it can be an intimate ceremony just us.

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.

  • Ceremonial Herbal Bath

    Your body will be lovingly honoured with a nourishing herbal bath, a sacred ritual which will soothe, restore and heal after birth. Using a blend of healing herbs native to these lands, carefully chosen for their restorative and grounding properties.

    This is a moment of deep stillness and reflection, a time to pause and honour all that your body has carried and released. As you sink into the warmth, you’re invited to let the water wash away anything you no longer wish to hold. For centuries our bodies have been washed and honoured ahead a big life event.

  • rebozos massage, closing the bones

    Rebozo Wrapping

    Finally, your body will be closed both physically and energetically. We start with a full body massage and womb massage, followed by a shamanic energy healing session providing further support and healing and balancing your body before it is closed. The rebozos will then 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.
