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 Rachelle Garcia Seliga who directly worked with indigenous midwives in Mexico. It was intended to be shared - 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.”
