Closing the Bones

What is it?

A Closing the Bones treatment supports your recovery after childbirth, no matter how long ago that was. It involves the use of a shawl to rock and articulate your hips, followed by an abdominal and pelvic massage with a warming oil and is finished by tightly wrapping your hips with the shawl. Beyond the physical aspect of Closing the Bones, there is a spiritual aspect to the treatment. It provides a safe space for you to feel nurtured and release any emotions associated with birth and motherhood.

What to expect

We’ll initially have a chat about the treatment, your childbirth experience and what you’re hoping to get from the massage. I’ll have prepared a futon on the floor with one or more shawls on top (we often use a traditional Mexican shawl called a rebozo). Depending on your preferences, I may also use relaxing music and scents and dim the lighting to make the space cosy. You then lie on your back on the futon. First I’ll rock your hips for a while using a rebozo. I then massage your abdomen and hips, using a warming oil and using strokes designed to loosen and relax you. I then rock your pelvis some more with the rebozo Finally, I’ll wrap your hips, or wrap you from your head to toe with several shawls and cover you with a blanket to keep you warm. When it’s finished, I’ll leave you to relax for a bit and go and prepare you a drink. There’s a chance to chat about the experience for a while afterwards.

What you might want to know

  • If we’re visiting your house (I’m happy to visit NW5, NW1, N19 and N6) choose a space that’s warm and you can relax in
  • Please wear loose comfortable clothing.
  • The treatment takes place on a futon on the floor.
  • You’re welcome to have the treatment alongside your baby, although this obviously might not be as relaxing.
  • The whole process usually lasts about 90 minutes.

Today is Earth Day - thinking about the entire Earth, and what we can do to ensure our survival, can feel daunting - but here are some local initiatives that can support you to support the Earth. 🌍 @growing_green_london - set up by local Mamas - amongst other things their focus is rewilding our local schools, and you can support them by donating or volunteering. 🌍 @fair_well_london - tackle the plastic pollution crisis by removing plastic packaging from the final stage of the food distribution chain and solving the main problem with plastic-free shopping: inconvenience. They come to you, you just need to book and buy. 🌍 @heath_hands - supporting our beautiful Hampstead Heath, sustaining its biodiversity and protecting it for wildlife and humans to enjoy. You can volunteer with them as well as joining them for their frequent events. 🌍 @chetwyndroadcommunitygarden - a local community of growers, based at the top of Chetwynd Road – follow them on Instagram and find out more. 🌍 @kentishtownlibraryofthings - borrow items, such as drills, carpet cleaners, projectors - you don't have to buy them - sharing the things you won't use often is a simple action all of us can take to live more sustainably - they're based at Kentish Town Library. 🌍 @kentishtownvegbox - all their produce is organic or naturally grown and sourced from small-scale farms as close to London as possible. Use them as a local alternative to the larger scale veg-box schemes. 🌍 @urban_forest_tribe - a local nature based community, focusing on inclusion, and a deeper bond with the natural world.

At this Monday's Acupuncture Collective you can experience the benefits of acupuncture at a lower cost - but how can this ancient healing modality support your mental health? In acupuncture (and Chinese Medicine, where acupuncture originates) there's a special word for our overall emotional spirit - the ‘Shen'. When we’re feeling unsettled and anxious we refer to it as a ‘Scattered Shen’. Through a delicate and detailed approach, acupuncture helps to benefit our mental health in the following ways: Recalibrating our nervous system Encouraging better quality sleep Promoting clarity of thought and focus Working on a deeper level to help our hormones work with us, not against us The holistic approach we take at the Acupuncture Collective means your symptoms aren’t just treated at the surface level, we go deeper. If you would like to experience how transformative acupuncture can be, book in with us and allow your Shen to settle into a state of Zen. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 20th April - find more details and book via our bio.
