closing of the bones
A rite of return — to your body, your center, and yourself.
Closing of the Bones is a deeply restorative postpartum ritual inspired by traditional care practices found in Central and South America, particularly among Indigenous Mexican and Ecuadorian communities. These cultural lineages use gentle wrapping and warming techniques to honor the birthing person and support their return to center after the expansive experience of pregnancy and birth.
At ALLORA, this ceremony is offered through a modern, trauma-informed lens—honoring the spirit of the tradition while creating a safe, nurturing space for integration.

Pregnancy and birth open the body in profound ways.
Closing of the Bones offers a symbolic and somatic “closing,” helping you feel grounded, supported, and gathered back into yourself.
This ceremony may include:
Rebozo-Inspired Wrapping
Gentle, rhythmic wrapping of the hips, ribs, shoulders, and head to create a sense of containment and support.
Guided Rest + Stillness
A soft space to settle the nervous system and allow the body to receive nurturing care.
Somatic + Energetic Support
Elements such as breathwork, grounding touch, or sound to support release and integration.
Optional Birth Story Reflection
