Closing of the Bones is a cross cultural ritual for postpartum mothers to honour the experience of pregnancy and birth. It is an opportunity to reflect upon the transformation of motherhood and allow it to integrate into every layer of you being.

The ceremony invites your spirit to come back home to your body and the physical body to close, redefining personal boundaries and reconnecting to yourself.

The ceremony can be facilitated any time after birth, even years later, with the same powerful effects.

It is a powerful and insightful experience which is often described as feeling like a rebirth.

The Ceremony includes:

~ Opportunity to share your birth story and debrief your experience in a safe, supportive and trauma informed environment

~ Time to reflect upon each rite of passage you have experienced as a woman leading into motherhood and how connected each one is.

~ Gentle nourishing oil massage of shoulders, arms and hands to honour this physical part of your body that nurtures and holds your baby

~ Rebozo wrapping - Closing the Bones

~ Sacred Cacao or Tea

~ Insights and sharing

~ Tarot Cards

How it will flow:

A sacred space will be set up for you and several rebozos will be placed on the floor. You will then be asked to lie on your back on top of the rebozos on the floor. Your body will be stretched and swayed with the rebozos. Then your shoulders, arms and hands will be massaged with oil to help your nervous system drop into a state of rest. You will then be wrapped up in the rebozo cloths, from your head to your toes and covered with a blanket to keep you warm. You will be held in a safe container of love and support. The ritual is then finished with a warming drink and an opportunity for you to talk about the experience.

Investment: $250 for the full experience held over 2.5 - 3 hours + additional travel costs if you live outside of the Northern Beaches.

All equipment will be provided.
