Closing the Bones

What is it?

A Closing the Bones treatment supports your recovery after childbirth, no matter how long ago that was. It involves the use of a shawl to rock and articulate your hips, followed by an abdominal and pelvic massage with a warming oil and is finished by tightly wrapping your hips with the shawl. Beyond the physical aspect of Closing the Bones, there is a spiritual aspect to the treatment. It provides a safe space for you to feel nurtured and release any emotions associated with birth and motherhood.

What to expect

We’ll initially have a chat about the treatment, your childbirth experience and what you’re hoping to get from the massage. I'll have prepared a futon on the floor with one or more shawls on top (we often use a traditional Mexican shawl called a rebozo). Depending on your preferences, I may also use relaxing music and scents and dim the lighting to make the space cosy. You then lie on your back on the futon. First I'll rock your hips for a while using a rebozo. I then massage your abdomen and hips, using a warming oil and using strokes designed to loosen and relax you. I then rock your pelvis some more with the rebozo Finally, I'll wrap your hips, or wrap you from your head to toe with several shawls and cover you with a blanket to keep you warm. When it’s finished, I'll leave you to relax for a bit and go and prepare you a drink. There’s a chance to chat about the experience for a while afterwards.

What you might want to know

  • If we’re visiting your house (I'm happy to visit NW5, NW1, N19 and N6) choose a space that’s warm and you can relax in
  • Please wear loose comfortable clothing.
  • The treatment takes place on a futon on the floor.
  • You’re welcome to have the treatment alongside your baby, although this obviously might not be as relaxing.
  • The whole process usually lasts about 90 minutes.

A springtime (re)introduction to Moon Wise Woman Practitioner, Isabella Norman.

Isabella is reflexologist with specialist post-diploma training in Facial Reflexology, Auricular Reflexology and Pregnancy Reflexology.

You can find her at Moon on Saturdays and during the week – she has appointments available tomorrow (Monday).

Over to Isabella 👇

I first came across reflexology when pregnant and was amazed at how treatments could have such a relaxing and calming effect on my mind and body. 

Now, as a qualified reflexologist, it is wonderful to be able to use reflexology to help support the well-being of people at various stages of their lives.

I am passionate about helping women to carve out time for themselves and their well-being. 

Often, the default position for many of us is to ignore stress and our own health needs until problems become evident. I believe that regularly ‘checking in’ with your body and taking time to relax can have numerous benefits. 

Reflexology treatments allow space for a focus on relaxation and all important ‘me-time’.

Having seen the effects of reflexology first-hand in private practice and through volunteering at a major London hospital, I am an advocate for this gentle holistic approach to improving well-being.

I offer foot reflexology for all ages, as well as specially adapted treatments for those in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. 

I also incorporated elements of her foot, facial and auricular reflexology training into two new offerings: the ‘Head’ and ‘Heart’ Sequences. Each sequence with a specific focus, these multi-modality reflexology sessions aim to maximise the effects by treating you from ‘top-to-toe’.

Outside of practising reflexology, I love nothing more than walking with my family on long hikes across the countryside, holidays in Italy and the smell of strong black coffee first thing in the morning.

It's been a busy week... there’s lots to tell.

Hopefully you’ll have received the New Moon Newsletter in your inbox this morning, if not you can find the link in our bio.

There’s news on Moon setting up a Community Interest Company, the closure of our local maternity units, a snapshot of a brilliant women’s health exhibition coming up in May and new events and treatments at Moon 

There are more things to tell you, but this newsletter already feels fit to burst, so it’ll wait for another day.
