This postnatal ceremony has roots in cultures around the world and is still practiced in certain Latin American, African, and Asian countries. The ceremony begins with sharing of your birth story and a warming oil massage of the abdomen. The woman is then tightly wrapped head-to-toe with traditional rebozo scarves to support a woman’s recovery after birth and to provide physical and spiritual closure to the birth story. This closure ceremony is not exclusive to birthing mothers; it is deeply healing for those who wish to find other closure in another aspect of life such as after divorce or loss of job, after a hysterectomy, menopause, or the loss of a child.
