What does it look like to work with Lauren?
Closing of the Bones Ceremony
The Closing of the Bones is rooted in many cultures across the world. I was fortunate enough to be trained through the Mexican lineage by midwife Rachelle Garcia Seliga, who directly worked and trained with indigenous midwives in Mexico. The indigenous ceremony keepers have said this ceremony was intended to be shared to all those who felt called to it - woman to woman.
La Cerrada, or “the closing” a ceremonial journey of inner and outer transformation. It is a way for women to gather, honor, and integrate their labor and birth experience and fully transition into motherhood. It involves a series of gentle massages, wraps, and prayers aimed at physically, emotionally, & spiritually supporting the mother. The pelvis is wrapped in such a way that it assists in physically aligning a mother’s body by “closing her bones” out of the open birth position.
It can be performed anytime postpartum and beyond, as once you become a mother you are always “postpartum” and this closing can continue to serve you if you are called to it.
If you want to have a closing ceremony after birth, it is generally around the 40-day window.
This ceremony can also be a powerful tool to hold anyone during a significant life transition including birth, menarche, menopause, grief, loss, change in career, change in health status, or any other need to mark a rite of passage.

“I am deeply grateful for Lauren’s beautiful, skillful, and humble holding of me in the Closing of the Bones ceremony after my daughter’s birth. I didn’t know what to expect, but felt a deep sense of trust of Lauren to guide me and support me in what unfolded. I feel we need a ritual and ceremony more than ever to support us through life’s transitions, and being held by Lauren felt like a deeply healing balm for my body and spirit as I find my way into a new phase of life as a mother.”

“I had the blessing of receiving a Closing of the Bones Ceremony with Lauren. She started with a divination and a prayer with a beautiful alter. Then, she had me lay down and got me cozy. As I laid down, I could feel the slight burning in my bladder as I have been struggling with this issue for a long time (being 70, it is a thing…). As she wrapped me in the soft shawls, I felt warmth and a deep feeling of going within for healing. When Lauren began to play her drum, spirit took me to a powerful place for healing, ending with a sacred flame going into my heart. When the ceremony was over I realized I had no more pain in my bladder, and I felt the energy in my feet when I stood up. Deep gratitude filled me. Lauren is an angel.”

“Lauren held a beautiful ceremony to honor my transition into motherhood at the 2-year postpartum mark. She has a gentle, trauma- informed approach that made me immediately feel calm and comfortable in her presence. Before the ceremony, I felt like there were parts of me that were still open and grieving after my birth experience. After the ceremony, it truly felt like my womb had closed and my energy had returned back to me. I immediately felt lighter and my body more at ease. I highly recommend the Closing of the Bones to any mother or parent.”

Each visit can take place at your home (if within an hour distance) or via zoom (excluding closing of the bones). The first visit at 1-2 weeks postpartum, second visit at 3-4 weeks, and third visit at 6-9 weeks postpartum to consistently tend to your physical healing, your support and needs (in both mind and body), and your transition into motherhood. We will decide which intervals work best for you with an option to add additional visits if needed.
We will review healing modalities such as supplements/ herbs, optimal postpartum nutrition and meal preparation, castor oil packs, moxibustion, herbal steaming, lymphatic drainage, abdominal and/or breast massage, belly wrapping, pelvic floor exercises, community resourcing (any or all of these that might fit your healing needs) at each visit.
