This is not a treatment. It is a rite.

Rooted in the traditional postnatal ceremonies of Latin America, Closing the Bones uses long woven rebozo cloths to rock, hold, and gently wrap your body from head to feet — gathering you back to yourself after the profound opening of birth and motherhood.

It can be received weeks after birth, or years later. There is no expiry date on being held.

What the ceremony holds

We begin with tea, and time. There is no rush here. You are invited to share as much or as little of your birth story as you wish — it will be received without judgement, without advice, and without consolation. Simply witnessed.

A sacred space is prepared at Church Farm — candles, flowers, the quiet of the Nene valley — and the ceremony begins with gentle breath and intention. Working slowly from your shoulders to your feet, the rebozo cloths rock and release each part of your body in turn, honouring your mother’s belly bringer of life with a gentle massage before wrapping and holding you in stillness.

You will be given time to simply rest in the cloths. To let your body remember what it is to be held.

When you are ready, you are gently unwrapped — and blessed.

We close with quiet, warmth, and something to eat before you return to the world.

This ceremony may be right for you if:

You are recently postnatal and longing to be tended to. You gave birth years — or decades — ago and still carry something from that experience in your body. Your birth was traumatic, surgical, or simply nothing like you hoped. You have lost a baby, at any stage. You are moving through a significant life threshold and need to be ceremonially held.

All ceremonies take place at Church Farm, Cotterstock, beside the River Nene. The space is warm, private, and held with reverence.

If you would like to talk before booking, a threshold conversation costs nothing.
