\"\"Closing the bones postpartum ritual<\/h1>\n

Closing the bones postpartum ritual is the most wonderful gift to treat yourself to after the birth of your baby. It is a ritual filled with tenderness and support, celebrating the beginning of a new journey of motherhood. The support known as cocooning in Estonian has many different names elsewhere, including a closing ceremony, a mother's warming ceremony, and a motherhood ceremony.<\/p>\n

Closing the bones ritual is a deeply healing tradition that celebrates the end of one journey and the beginning of another. It supports a woman's recovery after becoming a mother on many different levels. Physically, closing ceremony helps restore balance in the body, supports uterine contractions, and increases blood flow. Emotionally, closing the bones is a grounding and calming practice that helps release the tension accumulated during pregnancy and childbirth, and provides an opportunity for the soul to heal in moments of silence and peace. Spiritually, childbirth is seen as a woman's opening up to another world to receive her child - the ritual helps close the door between worlds and safely return a woman to her center.<\/p>\n

The care consists of several different practices, all of which support the mother. I pamper you with plants, sounds and warmth, I rock, caress and swaddle you like a newborn baby, because the needs of a mother and baby are often very similar.<\/p>\n
