Closing The Bones Ceremony
What Is ‘Closing the Bones’?
As you transition into the postnatal period with your little one, we offer a nourishing and calming ceremony to support you in this new period of your life.
Closing the Bones is a deeply nurturing treatment that focuses on womb/face/shoulder/arm massage and wrapping of the body with rebozo shawls, especially around the womb space, abdomen and hips. It has the effect of feeling like being in a cocoon, ready to emerge like a butterfly into a new phase of life. A chance to be held and looked after, to support you in all the looking after you are doing for your little one.
Traditionally it is given to new mamas as they pass through birth as a rite of passage, and ideally is offered in the ‘4th trimester’. It helps to physically 'close the bones' of the pelvis that have opened up during birth, and also provides energetic closure after the birth.
CtB can still be done decades after having given birth with the same extraordinary effects.
It's also a chance to share your birth story if you'd like to - in a supportive environment.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I can't recommend Anna Brook's hypnobirthing course enough. I went into it not knowing all that much about hypnobirthing, and feeling quite nervous about how to cope with my birth, but came out of it feeling confident, empowered and excited - ready for whatever happens on the day, be it 'to plan' or otherwise. What I liked most about Anna's approach is her open-mindedness. She advocates what's best for you and your baby and doesn't stipulate rights or wrongs, which is really refreshing in a world that can feel full of quite black and white opinions on what you should and shouldn't do. Her course has left me with a deep trust of myself and my instincts - thank you so much Anna.
