This ceremonial treatment is where the postpartum mother is anointed, massaged and wrapped. Her spirit is calling back to herself as she has been a portal for carrying new life and has walked the threshold between worlds. A transformation has also begun as the mother embraces unique aspects of herself through this rite of passage into new stages of motherhood. We intend to provide a space as a nurturing and supportive environment in which healing can take place on these many levels.

What types of healing modalities are used?
The ceremony begins by welcoming the mother. She is kept warm and then treated with a specific pelvic and body balancing treatment, where she will be nurtured by healing hands. Various healing modalities may be used, including abdominal massage, myofascial release massage, reiki, aromatherapy, and meditation.

A' closing' will be done by gently wrapping the cranium, the midsection, and the pelvic area, helping to facilitate shrinkage of the uterus and guiding the bones back to their original positioning. Healing Herbs are used after abdominal massage and wrapping during a mediation period, drawing the heat back into the mother.    Once complete, she is allowed to lie quietly and integrate her experience. 

This process helps "close" a Mother's body, which "opens" in many ways, both in preparation for and during the birth. 
The ritual can also help "close" a new Mother energetically, as both pregnancy, particularly the intense labour and birth process, can be very vulnerable for a woman, psychologically and psychically.
