Closing The Bones & Rebozo Massage

A Deeply Nurturing and Nourishing Ceremony for Postpartum and Life’s Thresholds

This workshop is for...

This training is for doulas, birthworkers, healers, and wisdom keepers of the soul. It is also for anyone who feels called to create safe, nurturing spaces for women to reconnect with their body, mind, and spirit.

Closing the Bones is especially powerful for postpartum mothers, yet it is equally meaningful for women moving through other thresholds such as menopause, grief, trauma, or times of deep change.

Whether you come to this work as a caregiver, a practitioner, or simply as someone with the heart to hold space, you will be guided in how to offer this ceremony with reverence, sensitivity, and compassion. It is a ritual for those moments in life when we may feel empty, broken, or exhausted, and a way of gently calling women back home to themselves.

Wholeness – Back to Herself, Back to Her Heart

The rhythmic hip sifting, abdominal massage, and rebozo wrapping create a profound sense of calm and safety. As women, we are often giving endlessly to others, and our own bodies and spirits can begin to feel open, scattered, and depleted. After birth, and at many other thresholds of life, our energy can feel dispersed and unanchored.

This ceremony is an invitation to call everything back home. Physically, it supports the uterus, bladder, and bones of the pelvis to return to their natural alignment. Spiritually and emotionally, it is a refilling of the empty cup with self-love, vitality, and presence. It is a gentle calling back to centre, a reconnection to her own heart, and an invitation for her spirit to be fully embodied once again.
