Closing of the Bones — For Every Woman’s Return

So many women hear the words Closing of the Bones and think it’s only for the time after birth.And while it is one of the most beautiful postpartum ceremonies a mother can receive,its medicine runs far deeper.

This ceremony was never only about birth. It was about returning. About gathering yourself back from wherever life has stretched you. About being held and witnessed through the thresholds that change you - the endings, the losses, the transformations that leave your body and soul wide open.

As much as I wrap and hold postnatal mothers, I also offer this ceremony to women who have never given birth and to those who are birthing something else entirely a new identity, a new chapter, a new way of being.

The Closing of the Bones is for the woman who has poured herself into others and forgotten her own edges.For the woman who has walked through heartbreak, illness, or loss.For the woman standing in transition - moving homes, jobs, relationships, or seasons of life. It is for every woman who longs to feel gathered, contained, and held again.

In this ceremony, the body is massaged, wrapped, and honoured.Layer by layer, the rebozos embrace you - hips, heart, shoulders, womb - calling your energy home from the places you’ve given it away.It is an act of devotion, a ritual of closure and reclamation.

There is always a stillness that comes near the end - when the final wrap is tied and your body sighs in relief.It’s as though your spirit remembers: I belong to myself again.

So while I love to hold new mothers in this work, I also hold women in every stage of life - because we are always birthing, always closing, always coming home.

If you feel the call to be wrapped, held, and remembered, you are so deeply welcome here.
