Expand the borders of your business by adding the “closing the bones” ceremony to your offerings as a birth professional. By participating in this training, we will be versed in ancient wisdom and learn the “closing of the bones” from traditional doctor and midwife Miri. This is a rare Canadian appearance for Miri to fully certify our birth keepers. Welcome to all birth workers, body workers, therapists and healers of different modalities and anyone interested in this Traditional Mexican technique.

“Closing the bones” (cierre de caderas or masaje de rebozo) is an ancestral Latin American technique with which you will learn to perform movements with your hands that connect with the rebozo (handwoven cloth). The rebozo is the main tool used to provide a deep level of relaxation in the body of the person who receives the technique. By means of stretching movements, grips, squeezes, and closure, we generate the activation of the pineal and pituitary gland, releasing and relaxing the body, and allowing the internal organs to readjust in their proper positions, aligning the spine and closing the pelvis, achieving a significant adjustment for those receiving the massage.

The practice is both relaxing and therapeutic: adjusting the bones, muscles, tendons and joints, improving flexibility and relieving pain. It is a traditional Mexican technique considered an ancestral practice that works at an energetic, physical and psycho, and emotional level. It is done with five or six rebozos to mobilize the joints and muscles of the upper and lower limbs giving movement to accumulated energy and emotions.
