Care for the Mother
Support by Sacred Nest
7 in-home visits • 3 hours each • 21 hours total
A complete season of support for the transition into motherhood.
The first weeks with a new baby can change from one day to the next. What you need on day five may be completely different from what you need at three weeks postpartum.
We begin by exploring your unique needs during a prenatal postpartum planning session. I get to know you, your family and your home. You are provided with the Sacred Postpartum Guide as a tangible resource to prepare you for your new chapter.
After birth, I tend to you in your home throughout this transition, creating continuity of care while giving you space to rest, recover, nourish yourself, care for your baby, and grow into your new rhythm.
Each visit is a time for intentional connection, support and healing as you adjust physically and emotionally.

Closing of the Bones
The Closing of the Bones is a traditional postpartum ceremony, with origins in Indigenous cultures of Central and South America, particularly Mexican and Ecuadorian midwifery lineages.
It honors the profound transformation a woman undergoes during birth—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The practice involves the gentle wrapping or “closing” of the mother’s body using a rebozo (a woven shawl), focusing especially on the hips, abdomen, and head.
In addition to origins in Mexico, Russian culture has the same ceremony called Seven Locks. And that the traditional cloth they use for this is called the Rushnyk. And in Morocco, Closing of the Bones is called: Al-Shedd or Shedd/Shadd (‘Al’ meaning The, ‘Shedd’ meaning pull or pulling). The traditional cloth used to offer this care are called kourziyas. Through rhythmic movements, massage, and sometimes herbal rituals, the ceremony supports the mother’s healing by:
• Releasing energy & emotions held in the body
• Addressing feelings of ‘openness’ both physically and emotionally after birth
• Aiding the pelvic bones in realigning
• Creating space/time for the mother to turn inward
• Providing deep nurturing and acknowledgment of childbirth as a rite of passage
It is with great respect and reverence for its origins that I offer this support to my community.
