Closing the bones/postnatal massage ceremony with me, within 30 min of Cambridge, UK, in the comfort of your own home. Mileage at 30p per mile over 5 miles to be added.
This is a booking for an in person closing the bones massage ceremony, either on a mat on the floor or on a massage table. I offer this within 30 min of Cambridge, UK. The whole process from start to finish last around 2 to 3h.
Closing the bones is a traditional postpartum massage ritual. It is most known for its Mexican and South American heritage, but versions of it exist on all continents.
Depending on the culture, a closing the bones ritual involves different elements. There is a massage done using scarves, and/or with the hands, then a ritual tightening of scarves around the body. In some cultures, such as the Mexican, North African, and Russian version, the ritual may also include a steam bath.
The closing the bones I offer is a blend of Ecuadorian and Mexican traditions, with modifications created together with Cambridge osteopath Teddy Brookes.
The ritual starts with rocking the whole body with rebozos, followed by massaging of the abdomen, hips, ribs, chest, and shoulders, more rocking of the pelvis, and finally wrapping the body tightly with 7 rebozos.
What does closing the bones do?
Closing the bones is a specific kind of bodywork designed to help speed up and enhance the healing process and changes that the new motherβs body undergoes after her baby has been born.
It helps healing by providing healing movement in the joints, muscles, tissues and fluids. It provides much needed space to simply rest and be and be held, as well as for emotions to be honoured, witnessed and released.
Finally, it provides closure, and brings the energy back to the mother.
Having massaged hundreds of women for over ten years, some as early as 24h post birth, I know the following: This ritual provides a space for physical nurturing, but also maybe more importantly, holds a space for whatever needs to be expressed, witnessed and released. It is different for every person, depending on what has happened to them. For some it is a joyful honouring, for others it is a space to acknowledge and let go of difficult emotions.
It is also a wonderful way to honour and support women through lifeβs transitions, as well as help heal trauma, loss or shock.
The video below gives you a taster of what the ritual looks like.
The ritual costs Β£150 plus 30p per mile mileage over 5 miles.
