Closing of The Bones Ceremony
This Postpartum Closing Ceremony, also known as "Closing of the Bones" is a cross cultural ceremony used to close the mother physically, spiritually and emotionally.
Almost all traditional cultures have the deep seated knowledge that the new mother is left "open" and vulnerable, following childbirth. Not just physically, but emotionally as well. And to help the mother come back into herself, a special ceremony is performed at 4-6 weeks postpartum, to help with this process.
This is also a time to honor and reverence the newborn mother, and her new role.
$149 With Flowers, Ceremonial Hot Drink, Candles, and Incense
$89 for the Wrapping With Incense and Candles Only

A Note About
In Home Postpartum Support Packages
Both in home postpartum support packages include the price of meals.
Exactly what foods you prefer to have served to you, will be discussed during the postpartum planning session. Whether that's a lunch, dinner, or breakfast recipe. All recipes are designed using traditional women's wisdom, for optimal postpartum recovery.
Meals are cooked in your home.
I do bring along the bulk of my prep tools. ( i.e. knives, peelers, mixers, etc.) A list of needed tools (i.e. oven, pans, etc.) will be provided before each visit.
If you prefer no meals prepared at your visits, let me know! I will gladly deduct the cost of food, and provide the energy, connection, presence, and the ability to hold space for what the mother baby dyad may be traversing that day.
