Closing the Bones

A sacred space to come home to yourself.

Experiencing the Closing of the Bones ceremony with Zoe felt like being wrapped in the most loving, nurturing hug, both physically and emotionally. From the moment the session began, Zoe held such a gentle, grounded space that allowed me to fully relax, release, and reconnect with myself in a way I didn’t realise I needed. Her intuitive presence and the care she poured into every movement created a deep sense of safety and healing. The ceremony allowed me to release stored tension, both physically and emotionally. I felt truly witnessed, held, supported, and deeply restored. Thank you for such a beautiful experience ❤️

What is it?

Closing the Bones is a powerful and nurturing ceremony rooted in traditional Mexican postpartum care, adapted to support anyone navigating a major life transition.

Whether you are processing grief, menopause, birth, loss, infertility, chronic pain, or simply seeking reconnection with your body and spirit — this ritual offers deep holding, rest, and realignment.

You do not need to have given birth to receive this ceremony. It is for all women and gender nonconforming people in need of care, containment, and a return to center.

What to expect...

Held in a warm, private setting - in your own home or at Women's Health Hartlepool - the ceremony gently guides you through a series of practices designed to help you feel grounded, witnessed, and restored:

⭐Rebozo wrapping and rocking – using traditional Mexican scarves to gently contain and realign your body

⭐Therapeutic chest, abdominal & pelvic massage – developed by Sophie Messager, helping to release tension and reconnect with your core

⭐Sound healing – hand drum rhythms guide you into deep restorative rest

⭐Ceremonial cacao and sharing – space to process, speak, and be heard, with handmade nourishment and intentional presence

We move slowly and with care.

Each session is unique, guided by what you bring and what you need.
