Closing the Bones. Mothering the Mother. Post-Natal Massage.

The experience of birthing is one of being opened up both physically and emotionally. Whatever your birth experience and however long it has been this is a healing ritual to bring back in all the parts of you. We begin with a herbal foot bath and a birth debrief or chat about where you are in your body now. I then use ‘Rebozos’ - beautiful Mexican scarves to rock, cradle and massage your whole body. Your arms, hands, shoulders, temples and abdomen are massaged with a healing balm and the womb and pelvis area is encouraged to draw itself in both physically, emotionally and energetically. Lastly you will be wrapped in the scarves and receive a guided relaxing visualization and some time to rest either in silence or with music. After the treatment, we will share tea and a nourishing snack, whilst we debrief.

This is the whole ritual, but you can choose whichever elements you would like to make a shorter treatment. The whole treatment traditionally takes place on a mattress on the floor. There is another option to have a slightly altered treatment that takes place on a traditional massage coach if you prefer.
