Closing of the Bones Ceremony
This tradition spans many cultures and is a sacred way to energetically close the womb space after birth. A postpartum mother is very open and spacious after giving birth and many earth based cultures recognized the need to thank the womb for its life giving work and thus close the portal. One beautiful way that this is offered to the mother is by having her lay down very comfortable and warm in her bed with her baby sleeping beside her. Her whole body is blessed with prayers, songs and affirmations while being gently massaged with warming herbal oils. She is then wrapped with natural cloth or scarves in three main areas of her body: her feet, her hips and womb space and lightly around her chest, shoulders and throat area. A warm heavy blanket is placed on top and she is left to rest undisturbed for a length of time, feeling fully nurtured and supported she may be sung to or soft music could be playing in the background along with the burning of sacred herbs such as lavender and sage.

ABOUT ME
I am a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbologist in California and nationally. I have worked with clients in the fields of medical qigong, yoga, meridian therapy and acupressure for 15 years. Currently, I co-direct the Bheemashakti Yoga School and run a women’s health practice out of my home.
I come to the field of women’s health as a mother and a woman. My passion lies in guiding women to awaken their inherent female wisdom, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually along with creating opportunities for women to be in circle with one another. My work focuses on restoring pelvic health, menstrual attunement, self-care education and practices, and providing a safe space for women to tell their story.
I live with my joyous 7 year old daughter in the magical forest of Cascadel Woods. I spend most of my days swimming in the waterfall, working with clients, creating curriculum for ongoing courses in yoga and women’s health and caring for my family and community.
