Closing the bones with Heidi
In Person - Northern Rivers only
This is a postpartum closing ritual that Heidi has had the great privilege of learning from Anna Watts, who was taught by the traditional Mexican midwives of Queretaro. This Mexican postpartum ritual is an ancient practice from traditional Mexican midwifery, however, similar practices are carried out by traditional midwives in many other parts of the world.
This postpartum ritual is traditionally performed during the postpartum period and honours a birthing woman who has opened herself physically, energetically and emotionally in her transformation into motherhood. As Heidi’s teacher, Jane Hardwick Collings has said any pregnancy results in a birth so this past postpartum ritual can be for honouring and assisting with closure after an abortion or early pregnancy loss, to mark the end of breastfeeding or any rite of passage in a woman’s life. This can be done within days of birth or even years later.
What to expect during the ceremony. This can vary depending on each individual, but usually consists either of a Birth debrief, a foot bath and foot massage, or a herbal steam bath Followed by a tightening and closing of the body using Mexican re-bozos. Please allow between 2 to 3 hours for this process, and to have a carer to look after your baby or children if they are present.
