Closing ceremony

Postpartum closing ceremonies (rebozo closing ritual/rituel rebozo/cerrada de caderas) in Luxembourg. A moment of reconnection.

A time of reconnection, a journey inwards to celebrate yourself, to take a break, make a pause, and transition to a new stage of your life.

A rite of passage to offer to yourself or to someone you love. To celebrate a new mother, the new moons of a young girl, a marriage; or as a tool to help you integrate difficult experiences.

These ceremonies are known with many different names: postpartum ritual, closing of the bones ceremony, rebozo closing ritual, rituel rebozo, soins rebozo. They are inspired on the ritual offered by traditional latinamerican parteras, known as “cerrada de caderas”.

I propose two different types of ceremonies, one is a full ritual to celebrate a transition and go inwards, and the other is a specific ritual designed to help you integrate your birthing experiences. In any case if you have specific desires, we can always arrange a ceremony that adapts to your own wishes and situation.

You can come with your baby! We take good care of them, and they tend to benefit from the ritual too 🙂

The Ritual

The full ceremony has a duration of approximately 3 hours, and it develops as follows:

Welcome

We will gather around the traditional beverage of this ritual, to welcome you and talk warmly about your wishes and expectations, so that we could better support you during these three hours.

Relaxing time

Under the soft light of some candles, you will relax your whole body thanks to essential oils.

Steam bath – resting time

As inside a cocoon, you will be offered a moment of introspection, of physical and emotional  rinse and detox.

Closing of the bones

The traditional “Cerrada de caderas“. A closing of 5 key points of the body with help of rebozos, to be able to put together again what was open, let go of what no longer serves you and mark the passage and the re-opening to your new version.

We finish the ritual gathering again back around a cup of tea and some snacks, a little oracle and exchange.

A ritual for women, facilitated by women

• Full Ceremony
  The complete ritual as described above provided by two practitioners.
  Location: Mondorf-les-bains, Luxembourg
  Duration: 3 hours
  Price: 400 eur
• Birth integrating ceremony
  I like to propose as well a somewhat different ritual, aimed at helping you integrate your birth experience. During this session we will go over your birth story while we do some creative activity (coloring of specific drawings, writing of certain mantras, etc.). Then we will dive into some breathwork to regulate your nervous system, and we will finish with the traditional cierre de caderas, the closing of the 5 points of the body with the rebozos.
  Please note that I do not speak of “healing” a birth experience, because I believe the birth of our child is never something that must be healed, but sometimes we need more tools to be able to integrate the experience.
  Location: Bettembourg, Luxembourg or home visit
  Duration: 90 min
  Price: 200 eur (+25% for home visits)

If you have any questions, or if you wish to book your slot, feel free to contact me. This is the standard format of the ceremony that we propose, but I’d be happy to adapt them to your own wishes, desires and preferences.

You can also get it as a gift card / gift box (it is *the* most perfect birth gift, I assure you!)
