Closing the Bones is a traditional postpartum and menopause rite of passage — a deeply nurturing ritual for women moving through life’s thresholds.
Whether you’re a new mum, entering your wise woman years, or navigating a sacred shift in life, this ceremonial bodywork honours your journey and gently supports your return to yourself.
This beautiful ritual originates in South America and is traditionally offered to postpartum mothers in the weeks following birth. But its medicine extends far beyond — it is a ceremony for any woman experiencing transformation, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
Using gentle abdominal massage, rebozo wrapping, and intentional space-holding, this ritual invites you to come home to your body and reclaim your centre.
After birth, many women feel “open” — emotionally, energetically, and physically. The Closing of the Bones ritual provides gentle containment, acknowledging the rite of passage that is motherhood and helping you reintegrate your energy and identity.
This offering is just as powerful for women navigating:
Menopause or perimenopause
Grief or loss
Endings and new beginnings
Birthdays, career shifts, or rites of initiation
Modern postpartum care often skips the emotional and spiritual nourishment that women deeply need. This ritual offers:
A return to stillness
Nervous system support
Emotional release
A sense of being seen and held
It’s a way of saying: You’ve done something incredible. Let’s honour that.
Looking for a thoughtful baby shower gift that’s meaningful and lasting? A Closing of the Bones ritual is a profound alternative to onesies and swaddles.
It’s also a powerful way to honour a friend or loved one entering menopause, starting a new chapter, or craving soul-deep care.
