Closing the Bones Ceremony
$250.93
A Closing the Bones ceremony is a traditional body-based ritual for grounding, integration, and closure after major life transitions. Closing the Bones supports the body after profound openings — physical, emotional and energetic.
While this ceremony is most widely known as a postpartum healing ritual, it is offered here for women, men and children following birth, trauma, loss, illness, major life transitions, endings and rites of passage. When the body opens during significant experiences, energy moves outward, tissues shift and the nervous system adapts to change.
Without intentional closing, the body may remain in a state of holding — waiting to fully settle and integrate. This ceremony offers the body a clear moment of completion.

What Is Closing the Bones?
Closing the Bones is a slow, intentional, ceremonial practice that uses touch, wrapping, rhythm and sound to support the body’s natural ability to reorganise and return to balance.
It is a ritual that listens to the body and follows its pace.
What Happens During a Closing the Bones Ceremony
Each session is deeply held and guided by the needs of the body on the day.
The ceremony includes:
Grounding full-body rebozo massage, with focused hands-on abdominal work to support energetic closing
Rocking, rhythmic movement and holding – allowing the nervous system to downshift and the body to reset.
Wrapping and gentle compression with 100% cotton rebozos, placed around the head, shoulders, ribs, hips, legs and feet to create safety and containment.
Drumming, rattling, sound and energy work – interwoven with moments of deep stillness to support regulation, release and integration.
Through wrapping, rhythm and stillness, the body is supported to gather energy back in, settle deeply and restore a sense of wholeness and ease.
This is not forceful work.
The body leads.
