Rebozo Closing Ceremony

 $200+

Let’s honor you with a Closing of the Bones ceremony after you give birth and ease your transition into new motherhood. Pregnancy and birth is a time of expansion and opening, so during the postpartum we hold and create space for the “closing” and integration of the birth experience. Sometimes the ceremony comes months or years after birth, marking the end of a breastfeeding or childbearing journey or as a meaningful ritual following loss. The Closing of the Bones in Mexico is called “Cerrar la Cadera” (Closing of the Hips) or a “Cerrada” (A Closing). This traditional practice is also believed to have origins in Russia and Morocco amongst many other places.
