Service Description

The Closing of the Bones is an ancient, sacred ritual practiced in various cultures worldwide, including Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. Traditionally performed in the first 40 days - 6 months after childbirth, it symbolises the physical, emotional, and spiritual "closing" of the mother’s body, which remains open and vulnerable after giving life. This practice acknowledges birth as a profound rite of passage, not just for the child but also for the parent, who is forever transformed. Rooted in wisdom passed down through generations, the ritual typically involves warmth, gentle binding, massage, rocking and sacred touch, helping to restore balance and energy. It’s a deeply nurturing experience designed to honour the journey of parenthood, facilitate healing, and reconnect the parent with their body and inner strength. This is a traditional Ecuadorian healing abdominal massage and body wrapping technique that gently brings the body, mind and soul back together. Sinead studied with Sophie Messager who received her training from Rocio Alarcon, a traditional midwife and shaman from Ecuador who was trained by her mother & grandmother. Benefits of the Ritual - Physical Healing: Supports the body’s recovery by aiding in the closing of the pelvis and abdomen, easing postpartum discomfort. - Emotional Release: Provides a safe space to process the emotions surrounding birth, whether joy, grief, exhaustion, or transformation. - Spiritual Reconnection: Marks the rebirth of the parent’s identity, celebrating their strength and guiding them into this new chapter of life. Honouring a defining moment of transformation and growth in your life for YOU, not just your baby. Join Sinead to commemorate your journey into parenthood with this transformative, heart centred, ceremony. Because becoming a parent isn’t just about bringing new life into the world—it’s also about rediscovering and empowering your own. "Closing the bones" ceremony can also offer closure and a space to be held for women who have experienced loss (such as abortions, miscarriage, stillbirths) or underwent surgeries such as hysterectomy, removal of cysts and fibroids. The ceremony can be designed as you like, family members are also welcome to join to support you.
