Returning Back To Wholeness, Back To Herself, Back To Her Heart


The rhythmic Hip Sifting, Abdominal Massage and Rebozo Wrapping  creates a feeling of calm and security. Often as women we are constantly  giving to others, especially after giving birth. Our bodies can feel  open and depleted. Our energy is dispersed and no longer centred or  balanced. In addition to calling the uterus, bladder and bones of the  pelvis to return to where they belong, this ceremony helps to call  everything back home. A refilling of her empty cup with self love,  energy and vitality. An invitation for her spirit to be fully embodied  once again.

Create a Sanctuary of Healing and Calm


Women who have experienced Childbirth or even many years after the  birth of a child, can all benefit from this ancient and spiritual loving  touch. As a practitioner of Closing The Bones you are being called to  create a sanctuary, a safe place where a woman's soul and body can let  out a deep sigh and once again breathe as one. A place to receive  instead of give, to be nurtured instead of nurturing others, to be held  and honored in sacred space and ceremony.

Birth Story Listening

You may have had an apparently "normal" birth but feel disappointed or distressed. You may feel you weren’t listened to, felt  like you had no control over what was happening, or felt you weren’t  treated with respect or dignity.  You might be mourning the  birth experience you didn’t have.


The Labyrinth is an ancient symbol which guides us on a journey into deeper meaning and fulfillment. Using Art Therapy, and deep listening you will explore the thoughts, emotions and beliefs surrounding your birth experience.  During this deeply healing session you will create your own Birth Story Labyrinth and a deeper understanding of the wisdom and gifts this powerful transformation has endowed upon you. 

Healing from Post Natal Depression and Birth Trauma

Some parents feel upset, distressed or traumatised by childbirth.

Pregnancy, birthing a baby and becoming a parent is not always how you dreamed it would be. Unresolved birth trauma can affect your physical, mental, sexual and social wellbeing. 

I will work side by side with you to discover gentle ways to nurture your emotional recovery and journey to emotional well-being after a difficult pregnancy, birth or transition to parenting.

      What is Baby Massage

      Babies are born craving our touch. Nurturing touch provides so many benefits for baby and is a wonderful way to bond together.

      Relief from teething pain

      Relief from Colic

      Soothing and Settling strokes to  help baby relax and sleep

      Stimulation of baby's nervous system and brain development

      Strokes to boost baby's circulation and move oxygen and nutrients around the body


      Blossom and Berry Baby Massage Classes also encourage responsive parenting that helps babies to feel secure, understood and loved.

      Parents gain confidence to respond to their baby's cues and also benefit from the love hormone oxytocin that massage helps to release in both parent and baby.

      Classes use eye contact, singing, rhyming and massage strokes

      A natural vegetable oil is applied to babies skin also providing nourishment and nutrients.


      You can also book a private baby massage session online or in person ph: 0437 631 294
