Closing of the bones ✨

Birth is a rites of passage. Whether you have a baby in your arms or not. If you have had a baby loss, this is still a birth. We deserve to honor this experience. Closing of the bones is one way of doing this.

What does a closing of the bones involve?

Everyone does it differently. This is how I do it. Full body massage (optional tummy and womb massage), gentle rocking and wrapping with rebozos (long Mexican shawls). May also include sound healing, use of palo santo, energy healing and music. This is for a total of 2 hours x

Yesterday I was in tears of love from meeting a baby boy who I’ve been so lucky to have had support his Mumma. Here are her words 🥹🩷

“I first met the beautiful Laura when I was gifted a grief massage from my ever loyal friend, Kim, a month after Grace.
Laura was so gentle, kind and safe at such a fragile time in my life. I then booked Laura every month since. She held me through my postpartum, as I sat in deep grief, trauma, and recovered physically from birth.

Laura then so tenderly massaged me through the months of preparing to conceive again, as I started to plan mentally, physically and emotionally to call in our next baby. She lovingly focused on fertility in our massages and spoke such empowering and affirming words of being fertile, being capable and being ready. She massaged through many tears and what felt like endless waves of grief.

Then in May of last year, I so longingly got to share, for the rest of the year, I’d be seeing her for pregnancy massages.

Here’s a beautiful photo that Laura took during one of my massages, one hand on my heart and one on my womb, honouring to both my babies. A position she put me in every massage, even before I was pregnant again, sending love to my womb, giving thanks for being Grace’s home and giving warmth to welcome in our next.

Forever grateful to Laura for her kindness and all she contributes to my healing journey.

If you are TTC, pregnant, postpartum, or grieving any loss, I highly recommend 🤍 “

Fourteen years ago today I witness a beautiful baby girl be born as her Mummas Doula.

Megan was my Chiropractor and we often spoke about birth. I was so honored when she asked me to be her Doula even though I hadn’t done any training. While Megan was pregnant, I trained to be a Birth Doula.

This was the start of my new journey as a Doula. I also supported Megan with her second baby, a natural breech birth at a private hospital. My last Doula support was when I was pregnant with my eight year old boy.

These days, I guide and support women who are my massage clients through massage, Spinning Babies and sharing my wisdom, knowledge and personal experience.

I will forever be a lover of all things birth. However you decide what path is right for you, I’m here.

Happy 14th Ari x
Happy Birthing day Megan and thank you xx

Belly pillow 🩷

One of my pregnant clients asked to use my new

We both loved it! I started her on her back and massaged her belly, legs. We then did side lying for some Spinning Babies exercises. Then lastly, we used the belly pillow under her baby bump and she received legs, back, shoulders, neck and scalp massage ending with sound of my sound bowl.

Here’s her review she left me on google 🙏🏻

“I loveeeeee being massaged by Laura
If I was rich, I would get a massage with her once a week!
As I’m currently pregnant - the belly pillow face down was fantastic!
I felt super relaxed - this massage was everything I needed !!!
I kept thinking “I do NOT want this to end”
I love your firm hands- she just knows exactly what I need without needing to tell her!
I’ll see you soon Laura- thanks for today and always xoxo”

Thank you so much honey! Enjoy meeting your sweet baby x

Pregnancy massage 💖

I’ve been massaging pregnant women for almost 20 years. When I did my pregnancy massage course 18 years ago, I was taught to massage in a side lying position. This will always be my preferred position for a pregnant woman but.. I know some women want to lay on their tummy’s. Since now, I’ve not done massages this way. Today I was gifted a which allows a pregnant woman to lay on her tummy with her baby bump being supported in the pillow. This is now an option open to you. I will continue to side lie you but please speak up if you like to try this option. I won’t be carrying this around on my mobile visits unless asked prior.

Big thanks and love to for organizing this to be in my hands x

The Grief Circle: A Space for Collective Healing

A Grief Circle is a dedicated sanctuary for sharing the stories of our losses within a supportive community. The ceremony provides a gentle container for deep emotion. My hope is to offer a connection to something greater—whatever that may mean to you—allowing sorrow to be met with kindness, integration, and the warmth of being held in Love.

We are not meant to carry our burdens alone. There is a transformative power in being witnessed, and I believe we find our way through grief most effectively in circles. You will find a warm welcome and a “brave space.” While “safety” is relative, we strive for a space where vulnerability is honored as a gift.

Through gentle ritual, rhythm, and silence, we explore the territory of grief together. Participation is always by invitation, never by obligation. By being present for ourselves and one another, we often find that expressed grief reveals its true nature: a profound form of love. Here, grief is not just a burden, but the very medicine that brings us home to ourselves.

These circles will include silent creative time, sound healing and a sharing circle.

Please allow two hours.

Cost is $35 and includes nibbles, tea and creative supplies

Please bring a journal and flowers/foliage from your garden to create a centre piece.

It takes a village ❤️

When I had my first born, I was blessed with a wonderful mothers group. A bunch of women who did a lot together. Weekly catch ups, weekly music classes, celebrated our children’s birthdays and us Mummas birthdays. It was a sweet time.

After I had a baby loss, a few of us went to see Deva Premal in concert. It was such a vulnerable time but being with these women made me feel so held and supported.

Today, I received the news that one of those precious women passed away. I’m spending this afternoon reminiscing about how special friends made those first few years of motherhood. I was a single Mum and these women helped make those years much sweeter.

Kellie, thank you for being you and for being part of my village when I needed it the most. Thinking of your daughters during this tough time 💔
