Closing of the Bones Ceremony
Created to nurture the mother after giving birth, + offering gratitude as she eases into the enormous work of motherhood. This sacred time will be used to hold space to nurture her physically + emotionally
The Closing of the Bones is a sacred ceremony done with the intention to "close" the new mother after birth through a ritual of Gratitude. Birth is a deep transformational journey + is a rite of passage that continues into motherhood.
​
The wrapping + pulling of the ancient cloth provides a sense of protection, warmth, connection + the sensation of relaxation throughout the body. The whole body is hugged + the "closing" slowly alleviates any pelvic instability, aches + tiredness in the body.
​
This particular Ceremony was derived from the Moroccan Culture + is typically completed within the first 40 days after giving birth but can also be performed many years after birth with the same amazing results. During these first 40 days it is a time for the new mother to heal, reflect, + build connection with herself and her new baby.
This ceremony is designed to support however you would like to commemorate this moment.
It could be very big with friends + family to celebrate or it can be a small intimate moment that's just for you. There is no wrong way to give thanks to your body for all its hard work + for celebrating this new season in your life.
​
There will be opportunities to check in, communion over apple mint tea, snacks and more!

***Please note that placenta capsules are a nutrient-rich supplement, and while it provides amazing nutrients back to the body after birth, there is no guarantee that they will prevent postpartum depression or increase milk supply. Placenta remedies are one of the best things a birthing person can give back to their body post-birth, however, they can not be used to reverse present or predisposed issues.*​

Postpartum Support
Not currently offering overnight support (day time support 9a-7p ONLY)
No matter where you may be in your birthing journey; early days of pregnancy or the last few weeks before welcoming your little one home, planning for postpartum support is essential in your recovery.
As a postpartum doula, I am here to support you during your 4th trimester. Whether that is for the first few days home after the baby arrives or to add a little more support in those initial weeks of parenthood. I am here to assist during the day or night to help your family transition into a life with an infant.
My ultimate goal for postpartum support is to create an environment where parents can ease into parenthood with confidence.
Similar to birth, I do not believe that there is a one-size-fits-all when it comes to postpartum care. Once you have selected the number of hours that you feel will be the most supportive to you, we will schedule a postpartum prenatal to create a schedule for your postpartum period + discuss more of what that time will look like.
