Closing the Bones

An Australian Directory of Practitioners

I am not currently offering Closing Ceremonies myself but earlier in 2023 I was delighted to bring Naolí Vinaver to Australia for the first time and she taught the traditional Mexican Postpartum Ritual (Closing the Bones) to nearly 80 dedicated and passionate birth workers who travelled from all corners of the country to learn from her. It was a remarkable and deep intensive learning experience for everyone involved. I am so thrilled to now be able to share with you this directly of beautiful women trained respectfully and authentically in the Mexican Postpartum Ritual under Naolí. Please note, these are not trainers but practitioners of this ceremony. I hope you find someone who will hold you just the way you need to be held. There are lots more practitioners still adding themselves to the directory so be sure to come back and check again soon if you can’t find someone near you.
