Depending on whether I'm supporting you as a doula, our journey together will look a bit different from the start. At some point, I’d love to have a chat—either over the phone or in person over a cup of tea or coffee. This will give us a chance to talk about whether you’re interested in a spiritual closing ceremony or something more focused on helping you process your transition and what you hope to gain from it.

Non-Spiritual Ceremony

On the day I arrive, we’ll spend 15 to 30 minutes chatting about the transition you’d like to close, whether it's about birth, menopause, your first menstrual cycle, or any other experience connected to your body, traumatic or not.

Next, you can enjoy a relaxing bath (if you have one) or a shower with some lovely flowers, herbs, and essential oils I’ll provide to help cleanse your body. Each of these elements is backed by science and can really help you feel refreshed. If you’d like, you can have a friend, partner, or family member join you for this part to make it even more special and relaxing by bathing you as you lay in the water. This will take around 15-30 minutes.

While you’re bathing, I’ll prepare the space in your home for the massage and ceremony.

The massage and ceremony will take about an hour and will include a gentle massage of your head, hands, abdomen, and feet (you can skip the massage if you prefer). We’ll create a cosy, peaceful atmosphere with dim lighting, calming music, and soothing aromatherapy, whilst I use the rebozos to rock and wrap your body.

After your massage, you’ll have some time to relax, wrapped up before we unwrap you and chat about how you’re feeling. Overall, this non-spiritual process will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.
