What is the Closing of the Bones for Postpartum?
with Dr. Sophie Messager
Perinatal Educator
Closing the Bones is a postpartum massage ritual that includes the use of woven scarves to rock and bind the body. New mothers are open physically, emotionally and spiritually, and receiving a closing the bones massage ritual not only helps heal the body and speeds up postpartum recovery.

- A historical background of closing the bones
- How closing the bones supports postnatal recovery and wellbeing
- Stories to illustrate how effective the ritual is
- Videos showing how the massage is done
- By the end of this class, you will understand what a closing the bones ritual entails, and why it is such an important part of postnatal recovery.
